On a 16-race losing streak but shaped well on a number of occasions, including on return 7 days ago when beaten 1.75l by Glory To Be at Leopardstown on yielding; has slipped to an attractive mark and a leading player if building on return. |

9st 6lb |
6yo who rose through the ranks last season and won the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood (5f, good to soft) in August; reappeared with respectable fourth of 14 to Night Raider in the Palace House at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he could show the benefit of that outing today. |

2nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Below best from a high draw in the Group 1 Abbaye on final 2025 start; thoroughly reliable previously and he richly deserved his Group 2 win at Goodwood (5f, good to soft; effective on good to firm) last August; versatile track-wise but has never run at Newmarket so there is a query to answer. |
9/1 |

6th 1 (13) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 1lb |
Thoroughly honest 5yo who has risen to new heights over 5f this year with his win in the Dash at Epsom (good; acts on good to firm) topped by a Group 2 win at Goodwood last time out, albeit with the race going like clockwork for him; has more to do in this company, including with Washington Heights on Listed form over C&D in July, but he won't fail for the want of trying. |

C&D maiden winner in 2023; added two 5f turf wins in 2024; very encouraging third back from a break over C&D in February under this rider; didn't look the easiest mount for a 10lb claimer last time when hanging; he's 11lb lower than his last winning mark and Coen back aboard is a plus. |

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. |

1st 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Useful in Ireland in his younger days but has come 22lb down the weights in the space of a year for this yard; capable of popping up at this lower level but others have stronger claims. |

Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

25th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 37y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Well beaten at Doncaster on his return but he wasn't well drawn and has a modest record fresh; stepping up to 7f will give him more time to claw back the ground he's likely to forfeit at the start; on a dangerous mark and he's a lively outsider, for all his losing run stretches back to October 2023. |

Below best in Ireland in the first half of 2025 but in good heart for this trainer in the autumn, winning three over 5f on AW and turf; has inevitably gone back up the weights but he ran an excellent second, despite some interference, when runner-up in the 3yo Dash at Epsom in 2024 off this mark and that was strong 5f form; respected. |
