9st 11lb |
Former winner of the Group 1 Flying Five but isn't at that level anymore; two respectable runs behind Mission Central at Naas over 5f this term; needs to do better but any easing of the ground will help. |

9st 9lb |
Former Flying Five winner reached a peak rating of 114 before losing his form in the latter half of 2024; missed all of last season; return in a C&D Listed contest last time was not totally devoid of promise when 4.75l behind Mission Central; may build on that. |

Former Flying Five winner landed this race in 2023 and 2024; lost form in the second half of 2024 and missed all of last season; entitled to need this run after such a long layoff. |

8st 10lb |
Last win came in last year's Scurry here over slightly farther; some good runs this season, but basically he's in the handicapper's grip; went back up 4lb for Galway second over 7f, not as effective over 5f when favourite here last time. |

10st 1lb |
Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 in 2023; has also won at Listed level and was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; good efforts over this trip and 6.5f here recently and even better at Galway last time when a close second of 15 (7f, yielding); had things in his favour that day but should remain competitive off 4lb higher. |
9/2 |

Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 in 2023; has also won at Listed level and was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent in recent years; has run well in two sprint handicaps at the Curragh lately. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Runner-up twice in a row in Bahrain (6f, good/good to firm) in January; this 9yo hasn't shone on his three starts since and his losing sequence goes back to September 2023, but perhaps the drop back in grade will trigger a revival for this C&D winner; not ruled out. |
7/1 |

Veteran who ran a cracker behind a stablemate over C&D at last season's Ebor meeting; runner-up twice in Bahrain in January; low-key return to Britain last week; on a good mark but this is a tough race in which to try and rebound. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

Course legend has won 10 of his 12 races at this track and amassed 575,000GBP in prizemoney; has won twice at Listed level this season and second in a Group 2; however, wasn't himself when eased and well beaten last time; has run well in defeat in this race for the last two years but the trip stretches him and is vulnerable again. |

Course specialist made it ten wins here with a Listed race success over this trip in June; also won the Gladness Stakes over 7f here in March; second to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave in the Greenlands in May, with James Delight in third; holding his form admirably on the evidence of Group 2 second over 7f here three weeks ago. |

9st 13lb |
Beat course specialist Big Gossey when winning the Bold Lad Handicap here last September; no luck in running in two handicaps this term; won a Fairyhouse conditions race for the third time in four years before a fine second to Big Gossey in a Listed race here last time, a whisker in front of Bodhi Bear. |

Beat Big Gossey by 0.5l when winning the Bold Lad Handicap here last September but was in receipt of 10lbs; slow start to this season but back on song in Fairyhouse median auction race latest, winning it for the third time; unlucky in running when down the field in this last season; will like this ground. |

Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023. |

Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further. |
