Three-time winner on the Flat, including over C&D last October, but all four wins have come on soft and heavy ground; excellent second in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) when last seen in May; just 1lb higher here but needs rain. |

Progressive at up to a mile last summer but form tailed off; generally disappointing since a fine second to the ultra-progressive Crystal Black at the Curragh 12 months ago. |

One of his five wins came over 7f at this track in 2024; lost his form at the end of last year, and this trip is new; encouraging display when sixth of 17 (Dark Summit, eighth) over a shorter trip here on Tuesday. |

Placed many times, including twice over C&D; below form on soft ground last twice but coming back to this surface could spark a return to his best, which would see him go close. |

Won here this time last year as a 2yo and series of solid efforts in handicaps of late put him in the mix; tends to race keenly which won't help his chances of seeing out this longer trip though. |

5th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Multiple winner at up to 8.5f on good or slower; on the slide in three starts this season but this combination of a drop in grade and new headgear may prompt a resurgence; return to shorter is also a plus; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |

C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |

Beat subsequent Leopardstown maiden winner Curvature in 1m Dundalk maiden in February; fair fifth in Listed contest back there last month; mark seems fair but ground has to be a worry. |

22nd Jun 2023 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but he needed all of that trip at the Curragh (good) a month ago to be ahead when it mattered; it's debatable whether he's got enough boot under the bonnet to win this much deeper race; best form on good or yielding (below par on softer). |
