9st 9lb |
Second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris for Aidan O'Brien in 2023; mostly below that level in Australia, apart from a nose second in 1m2f Group 3 at Randwick last September; marked his return to Ireland with a pleasing staying-on third to Minnie Hauk in 1m2f Curragh Group 2 (good) in May; failed to feature in Royal Ascot's Wolferton Stakes. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Second in the Irish Derby and Grand Prix de Paris for Aidan O'Brien in 2023; failed to match that level in Australia until finishing a nose second in 1m2f Group 3 at Randwick last September; down the field in the Caulfield Cup on his final start there but resumed his European career with a pleasing staying-on third to Minnie Hauk in 1m2f Curragh Group 2 (good) six weeks ago; raced largely on good or softer on turf (below form in 2023 Derby on good to firm); his yard has had three placed in this since 2021. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
9yo who has won the last two runnings of this race (good to firm/good to soft) and has run well on both starts this season, most recently posting a cosy Listed win at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm); leading claims. |
2/1 |

1st 2 (6) |
4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Dual Group 3 scorer at Sandown (1m2f) and Goodwood (1m4f) in 2025; resumed from six months off with a very good second of six in Newbury's John Porter Stakes in April so this veteran looks the one to beat dropped into Listed company here. |
8/13 |

2nd 3 (5) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Held up; eight Group 3 wins are already in the bag, including this race in 2021 (his only appearance in it); has a slightly mixed reappearance record but he was almost as good as ever with his two wins last term, including first time out, and a return to that level would make this 9yo the one to beat. |

11 wins in all, and seven of them at stakes level; C&D winner on heavy in April and Listed winner over extended 1m4f on soft at Limerick in June; held in Leopardstown Group 3 on quicker ground last time; second to Carmers over 2m at Down Royal back in May and now 4lb worse off. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
His record now stands at 11 wins and 16 places; he celebrated his 50th outing by winning a Listed race on his favoured soft ground at Limerick in June, his seventh stakes win; would benefit most from a marked deterioration of ground conditions. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |

Ten-time winner, including this race in 2023 (third in this contest last year); won good-class Curragh conditions event (1m6f, soft to heavy) on return; never able to land a blow in the Vintage Crop on quicker ground; first attempt at 2m on latest when runner-up to Carmers in Down Royal Listed (good); each-way possibilities. |

9st 7lb |
Last seen finishing 12th in the Arc and soon after changed hands for 300,000gns; a genuine 1m2f/1m4f Group 1 performer at his best but entitled to need this first run back from being gelded; rain would be welcomed. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |

Third in 2023 Derby after Dante second; in rear in the Irish Derby and not at best here on final start at three; progressive in a hat-trick of Pattern wins at the Curragh early last season, culminating in an impressive Group 1 victory over Auguste Rodin; setbacks later, returned with a fine effort against Los Angeles; excuses behind the same horse in Tattersalls Gold Cup. |

8st 11lb |
Entered in Irish Derby and Irish St Leger; showed promise on good ground last summer and stayed on strongly from off the pace, but a fraction too late, in handicap at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy) on reappearance; no difficulty when 4-9 in maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) on his only start since; into a hot race but he's a striking candidate for 1m4f. |

Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |

Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |

One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |
