1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
5l third to Waardah in this last year, before career best when second in the Melbourne Cup (2m); back to best European form when second in Group 3 at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good; unraced on firmer) this month but will probably have to settle for a place here if others show their best. |

2nd 3 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 9lb |
Last year's winner who went on to post a career-best when second of 24 in Group 1 Melbourne Cup (2m, good-to-soft); last month's Limerick comeback run well below her best but entitled to come on for that and major chance on ratings. |
6/4 |

8th 9 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 7lb |
Third runner for yard; dual-purpose performer, 6-12 on Flat, 1-7 over jumps; highly progressive last year, winning 1m6f and 2m Listed at the Curragh and Down Royal before Group 3 victory at Fairyhouse and third in the Group 2 Lillie Langtry at Goodwood in August; rounded off the year with an excellent runner-up in the Melbourne Cup; fitness has to be taken on trust but big player if she's ready. |

Well over three years since he won over 1m here but has fallen to an attractive mark after light campaign last year; ground no problem but trip could be and record fresh is not great at all. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Last of five wins was in 2023; not the force he was, though has run well at times; fair third of eight in a Killarney handicap last month but well beaten in a premier Galway handicap last time (1m1f, yielding); others preferred. |

11th 17 (12) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
8st 9lb |
Last of five wins was in 2023 when he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest at Killarney; not the force he was, though he has run well from time to time, including when sixth of 14 at 80-1 in this race last year; fair third at Killarney last time; valuable 5lb claimed, could go well at a decent price. |

3rd 1 (6) |
13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
10st 0lb |
Latest of five wins was in the 2023 renewal of this event, after which he ran well in a Group 3 at Leopardstown and a Listed contest over C&D; not the same force nowadays and has come down a good bit in the ratings; was still capable of good form last year; not at his best on AW in the spring and back from a break here. |

Chance on placed form, including last month's C&D third (Qasbaz fifth) of 17; 1m4f too far latest and had an excuse two runs back. |

Maiden has chance on placed efforts first two starts this term; had an excuse for poor C&D run (struck into) and maybe didn't stay 1m4f last time so not one to give up on. |
