Three races on heavy in Ireland, with pretty useful form last year but not so good when comprehensively turned over at 4-9 on reappearance; stepping up from 1m to 1m4f on probably good to firm ground is ringing the changes for this Galileo colt on handicap debut for top yard, which runs four. |

Built upon satisfactory stable debut and ran big race before weakening into third at Kelso (2m2f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; remains on a good mark and should cope with the forecast slower ground here; likely contender. |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Kempton last April off 2lb higher when trained by Nigel Hawke; ran as if he needed the run when fourth of six finishers at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) 19 days ago on his stable debut after eight months off; sports first-time cheekpieces and has to be of interest. |

Two wins for Ed Walker last season and positives can be drawn from the fact that one was on his seasonal return and the other was over C&D (good ground); returns from a six-month break on a manageable mark and a promising claimer is booked; contender. |

Successful on soft ground in Ireland; has notched two handicap wins since joining Ed Walker (including under today's rider Oisin Murphy) but he needs to bounce back from a below-par run at Goodwood last time; same trainer/jockey won this last year. |

Fourth in Chester Cup and Ascot Stakes last season, won a four-runner St Leger Trial at the Curragh in August, readily brushing aside front-running Dallas Star; failed to do himself justice when tailed off in the Irish St Leger, made late progress into fourth behind Scandinavia at Navan on return; should be sharper now and may reverse form with runner-up Dallas Star. |

One of three for Joseph O'Brien; won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and also took a huge prize for last September's Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding); underwhelming in his three handicap hurdles in November-April, which is a concern, as is today's widest stall, but his Curragh win (bursting clear 1f out) was delivered with considerably more authority than the winning margin suggests; respected. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |

It was never in doubt once his jockey pressed the button in last season's Fred Winter at this meeting (2m, good to soft) and much the same when he landed a huge pot in the Irish Cesarewitch on Flat (2m1f) in September; whether he's on a good mark is an issue but he may have found 2m at Listowel sharper than ideal when runner-up in September and this marked step up in trip is an interesting move; big-race performer who has to be given a close look. |

Inconsistent filly but she had an excuse when upped to 1m6f last week and that was after a brave win over C&D (classified event) seven days earlier; still unexposed on AW and has possibilities if she can recapture that penultimate form; visor is removed and blinkers are now tried. |

Progress on the Flat featured a 1m2f maiden win on good ground; has wasted no time in raising his profile as a hurdler and this Navan maiden winner pocketed valuable course experience when a rallying third behind dead-heaters Quantock Hills and Teriferma here in December (good to soft); beaten since in a Punchestown heavy-ground handicap won by Slurricane, but can jump better than he did that day and nothing was finishing stronger; has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo; makes the shortlist in first-time headgear. |

Well beaten last month on her two runs this year (1m2f/1m1f) and arrives with something to prove, but she's 4lb lower than when winning at Haydock (11.6f, good) last July and the step up in trip may be a positive; stable has won the last two runnings of this race with Two Auld Pals; not written off. |
