11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 144y |
11st 5lb |
Sole win in 24 starts (including jumps_ came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden at Killarney in 2023; placed over hurdles before a fair fifth on the Flat at the Curragh on his penultimate start; remote tenth at Tipperary 11 days ago. |

Sole win in 22 starts came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden in 2023; placed in a maiden hurdle 12 days ago but that's modest form and hadn't threatened in his previous Flat handicaps before that. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 5f 80y |
11st 5lb |
Good dual-purpose performer and did well in amateur-rider contests in the autumn, winning over 2m at Clonmel and placed twice over 1m4f at the Curragh; fair bit to find with a couple of these; first ride for jockey. |

20th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y |
11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose bumper winner for Willie Mullins; 0-4 over hurdles and shaped well when a 9l second in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last month on her third run for current yard; well-beaten on the Flat in sole run since but return to this sphere is a plus; sets the standard with a rating of 104 and should be in the mix. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Held his form well after winning a Down Royal handicap last August (2m1f, good to firm); back from a break he appeared to get outstayed by the front two over 2m3f at Cork; better expected here. |

3rd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Super consistent form in autumn; winner of a Down Royal handicap off 90 (2m2f, good to firm) before following that with three runner-up finishes at Listowel, Punchestown, and here at 2m-2m2f; has risen in handicap for not winning; tries this trip for first time; check market now back from a break. |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

In fine form; won off 10lb lower at Down Royal in August (17.5f, gd-fm) and solid efforts in defeat since at Listowel (2m2f, yielding) and Punchestown (2m, gd-yld); should be in the mix again. |

22nd Mar 2024 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has achieved little in 1m classified races at this course for new yard; this drop in distance needs to make a difference. |

7th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Only poor form shown to date and he pulled too hard in a first-time tongue tie when last of nine over C&D six days ago; he's hard to make a case for. |

9th 6 (8) |
1st Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Showed no significant promise in Ireland last year (four runs) but made fairly encouraging stable debut when sixth over C&D behind Ledger last week (first-time cheekpieces), having persistently been denied a clear run; tongue-tie added today; further progress possible. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
11st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-11 over hurdles; solid Flat run at Navan (1m6f, heavy) after 156-day absence in March but has failed to fire in two handicap hurdles since; remains 9lb above last winning mark; may need respite from the handicapper. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |

Three wins over hurdles up to 2m4f; decent Flat run in March but has to improve on his Fairyhouse hurdles run last time; cheekpieces added. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 110y |
11st 2lb |
Won at this meeting last year after a break and has generally held form well since, adding wins over hurdles at Listowel and on the Flat at Thurles; went close at Galway in October on last run over timber and just 2lb higher here; pleasing return on the Flat at Navan last week; interesting. |

Four-race maiden got this trip well in Apprentice Derby at the Curragh in late June when staying-on fourth behind some more experienced rivals; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time; still scope for improvement. |

27th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 110y |

Three early season maiden efforts modest enough and opening mark seems on the high side; gelded and tried in a tongue tie here. |

27th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Some promise at Dundalk on debut but tailed off at Leopardstown earlier this month; drop in trip on quicker ground may help but has a fair bit to find. |
50/1 |
Verdict
Eastmore will be popular after going close last time but at a likely bigger price, it may be worth taking a chance on THE MEDIATOR. Gordon Elliott’s six-year-old should relish this stamina test and if he finds any improvement for the switch to the Flat, he should be firmly in the mix. [Phill Anderson]
