19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

9st 10lb |
Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |

9st 5lb |
Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner won on seasonal return here in 2024 over 5f (heavy); couldn't repeat the trick last month when a 5.25l fourth of nine (6f, heavy); only raced twice last season, so encouraging to see him out again and comeback run is something to build on but must shoulder top weight. |

9st 2lb |
Five-time winner and beat Stag Night off 3lb higher over 5f (heavy) here on seasonal return in 2024; only seen twice last season but can go well fresh and is well handicapped so he's worth a market check. |

2nd Nov 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner including over C&D (heavy) early last year off today's mark; not seen since comeback C&D run in March when not disgraced after meeting trouble in running; dropped 7lb since and tried in blinkers on return; goes well fresh, rider claims 7lb and has his ground so could be a danger. |

9st 13lb |
Eight-time winner (placed 20 times) who marked his 100th appearance with a fair sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse recently, one place in front of today's rival Jazzy Dancer; almost two years since his last win; might struggle to record another success in the closing stages of his career. |

Sole win came on AW in February but struggled twice since and has been off 98 days; back on his winning mark and ground is fine so can't dismiss if he's tuned up. |

9st 6lb |
Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in 7f maiden here last month but too keen back in handicap company since; return to 1m not an obvious play and others preferred. |

9st 7lb |
Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in a 7f maiden here last Friday; previously, had often run well in defeat, in good company at times (has run in three Pattern races); 5f was too sharp here on his penultimate start; 1m should suit |
