9st 2lb |
Group 3 winner for the Charltons over 1m at Ascot on good-to-firm; 0-8 for current yard but has been tried in hot company; two runs earlier this season were on soft/heavy, Curragh Listed second would see her close here and better ground seems sure to suit; likely good pace to suit too. |

Won four races for the Charltons including a 1m Group 3 event at Ascot in 2022; yet to score for Joseph O'Brien but has run well in defeat; second in a 1m Group 2 event here last May on Irish debut; fair fifth in Group 1 Matron Stakes before ending the season in a Grade 1 at Keeneland; started campaign well with second to a race-fit rival in the Gladness; leading chance. |

9st 9lb |
Has won ten of his 30 starts, including four times at this venue at 7f-1m; most recent success came at Cork in October 2024 (1m, yielding) but ran some fine races last season, including when third in this; well behind a couple of these on seasonal return here last month but better expected now with that run under his belt; place chance. |

Ten victories include four here, most notably twice at Group 3 level in 2024; not quite at the same level this year but solid form, most recently seasonal-best when getting up late for second in Group 2 Solonaway Stakes at the Curragh. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

9st 10lb |
Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |

Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

Won his first two races, including a 7f Group 3 event at Leopardstown; fourth from the front behind Rosallion in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere, and same place from off the pace having stumbled at the start in the Dewhurst (6l behind brilliant stalemate City Of Troy); failed to adapt to Dirt in the UAE Derby and reported lame on left-fore; not a long recovery period. |

Course regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m here this year; always behind in valuable 1m2f Lingfield contest at Easter; solid claims back at his favoured venue. |

Dundalk regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m this year, but he may be vulnerable to younger legs back down in trip. |
