Expensive yearling was second to useful type on only juvenile start at Navan (5.5f, good); off over ten months and disappointing favourite at the Curragh last month but quite possibly heavy ground was the reason; son of No Nay Never should enjoy this surface. |

9st 8lb |
Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track. |

Only 1-15 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Goodwood over the summer for Gavin Cromwell; dropped out quickly on yard debut at Dundalk last month and back in trip here. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 2lb |
Only 1-14 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood last time; however, she's relying on some of these being below par to have a major say. |
25/1 |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Best results on good ground; debut remains her only win but she has run some big races in defeat, narrowly denied in a fine duel over 9.5f at Gowran Park on last month's stable/seasonal debut; that's the furthest she's been and she was well held when back to 1m for new owners at Royal Ascot 16 days later; well worth a go at 1m2f. |

Strike-rate of 3-63 but has been running well and latest third at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) warrants an upgrade; has form on all surfaces. |

One of two for trainer; all three wins have come here, including one over C&D; 8lb below his last winning mark from 2024; good placed form on good ground over 1m here in June and at Killarney and Gowran last month; yielding to soft ground a possible excuse when disappointing at Galway last time; he could have a big run in him with Keane aboard for the first time. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |

8th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |

Has won ten of his 30 starts, including four times at this venue at 7f-1m; most recent success came at Cork in October 2024 (1m, yielding) but ran some fine races last season, including when third in this; well behind a couple of these on seasonal return here last month but better expected now with that run under his belt; place chance. |

10yo who won this in 2023; frequently runs well in quality handicaps and he's 5lb lower than when a cracking third in the Royal Hunt Cup last June; scratched from the Lincoln when running a temperature on his intended comeback last month and he tends to improve for a run these days; also winless since 2023. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |

9yo who has drawn a blank since winning on the July Course in summer 2023 and needs everything to drop right but he often runs extremely well in defeat, including when third in the Royal Hunt Cup in June; another respectable effort when sixth of 20 in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) a fortnight ago; not discounted in this slightly easier race. |
