23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
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. |

Marvelous veteran showed he retained all his ability when winning for the eleventh time in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) a month ago; however, has come up short in the last three renewals of this race and 5f probably sharp enough for him these days. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Splendid veteran with eight Curragh wins to his name; thoroughly deserved his career highlight when beating a subsequent Classic winner in this race last year; has also produced many good displays in defeat here; showed plenty of zest with Dundalk second in December; eased when beaten on reappearance in the Irish Lincoln. |

Bolted up in 5f Naas handicap (soft) in October; didn't land a blow on seasonal return here over the same trip when ninth of 12; should come on for that but step up in trip isn't guaranteed to suit. |

The veteran of the field but he arrives in top form, finding only the revitalised Mondammej too strong over C&D three weeks ago; not dismissed lightly off an unchanged mark. |

Speedy filly whose 27 career outings have all been over 5f; first stab at 6f here so obviously has stamina questions to answer and others make more compelling cases. |

Has shown little since successful debut on the AW in September 2021 although entitled to come on for last week's Curragh comeback run; eye shield and tongue tie now fitted. |
