18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y |
9st 12lb |
Took his form to a new level when recording fifth career win in Curragh Listed (7f, soft) early this month, slow to break but travelled strongly to assert inside final furlong to win going away (second has since won a Listed race); yet to race beyond 7f but settles well and every chance of seeing out this trip. |

Four-time winner at 6f-7f; pick of last year's form when beaten a neck in Group 3 here over 6f (soft) and decent effort on second of two outings in April when running on well for fourth over 5f at Cork from disadvantageous side of the track; had the summer off and first run over 7f since maiden win as a 2yo. |

Won a rated race over 5f on heavy ground at the Curragh in April but has been well beaten since; best run in a while at Down Royal latest; handicapper relenting and was second over C&D from 6lb higher early in the year so don't completely rule out; rain would be welcome. |

9st 0lb |
Won a 1m4f Listed race during her time with Joseph O'Brien but yet to rediscover that level since moving yards and even if back on song these terms are tricky. |
25/1 |
|
6th 6 (6) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |

25/1 |
|
7th 6 (4) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Some good form in stakes company last year and on third start this term won 1m4f Limerick Listed, improving markedly for the step up in trip; denied a clear run back at 1m2f on latest in Group 3 at the Curragh so certainly not one to rule out back at this trip. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |
25/1 |

8th 11 (6) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |
4/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Record of 2-36 but it was his first run in blinkers when winning well over 1m2f at Clonmel (yielding) and again failed to convince over further at the Curragh; back at 1m2f he should run well, for all that he's 7lb higher than for that recent win. |
12/1 |

6th 4 (1) |
4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Was recording a second career win when taking 1m2f Clonmel contest last month in first-time blinkers, coming from off the pace to win going away; up 7lb for that and unconvincing over this longer trip in the past; encouraging jockey booking. |

8th 5 (7) |
13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); third behind fellow British raiders Cover Up and Partisan Hero over C&D in July; behind several of these at Goodwood. |

5yo front-runner who has been better than ever this year, comfortably winning a handicap at York (5f, good) in May and posting a fine fifth of 26 at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) last month; third in Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh (5f, good to firm) recently and he could build on those last two efforts, which were on stiff tracks, now on a downhill course; respected. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |

Won off 4lb lower at Wexford in May (2m1f, gd-yld); has struggled off revised mark since and was beaten 13l on latest when fourth at Galway (16.5f, good); needs to find a bit more to score off this mark. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |

Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |
