Listed winner over 1m2f here at three; won weak renewal of this race last year when beating three rivals; held since, including over C&D behind Tarawa last month; 5lb better with that filly for a 3l defeat; suited by soft, handles good but fast ground may count against him. |

9st 6lb |
Handled heavy ground when winning a Listed race at Gowran on seasonal debut; raced too keenly and had an off-day when attempting 1m2f at the Curragh in June; 97-rated filly is up against it in this company. |

Returned to action when just lasting out in a 1m1f fillies Listed at Gowran last month; behind Self Belief in last year's Meld Stakes but does handle good ground; needs to improve to win this though. |

Debut maiden winner over C&D a year ago beating the very useful Thunder Roll; narrowly denied in a 1m2f Listed race at Naas; again emerged with credit when third (four runners) in the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown; failed to reproduce that form at Naas on final outing. |

9st 11lb |
Seven wins on the Flat, also a winning hurdler; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for a third time last month; has chased home the smart Purview on two occasions at this venue this season; got closer over 1m2f three weeks ago, than in a 1m4f event in May. |

9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner on the Flat; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for the third year running on latest; won lesser renewal of this race last season (good) but was no match for Purview in 1m4f Listed heat here on penultimate; hard to see him turning that around, but generally reliable and place chance. |

1st 4 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 13lb |
Won this race in 2023 and 2024; good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins in Listed/Group 3 contests at the Curragh over 1m4f/1m2f on good; hasn't hit top stride yet this season but is top-rated here; he would prefer decent ground but has form on soft. |
