Champion stayer of recent years attempts to win this for the third time in the last four years; unblemished record last season included wins at the highest level in Ascot and Goodwood Cups, Irish St Leger and Prix Du Cadran; reappeared for traditional Vintage Crop win at Navan last month and another straightforward task here en route to Ascot. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
10st 1lb |
Second of three for yard; ran a solid race off 2lb lower in the Ebor at York in August, staying on for a 3l third (0.5l behind Ascending); predictably came up short in the St Leger here on latest but he could bounce back returned to handicap company. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Sole win (11 races) was a 2023 maiden; career-best on latest when third in Ebor Handicap (York) but has fallen short at Group level in the past and likely to do so again here. |
33/1 |

3rd 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 2023 maiden; twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in spring 2024 and Curragh Group 2 on latest outing was up with his best form, albeit finishing only sixth of seven; last year's 17th in the Ebor and 11th in the Cesarewitch, both off only 3lb higher than today, suggest it is best to turn elsewhere despite his illustrious connections. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; won a slowly run, four-runner Group 3 over 2m here in April 2025 on his stable debut but failed to kick on and he needed to run a lot better than he did at Newmarket in early May (1m6f) to be seriously considered here; the hood and blinkers are new additions. |
50/1 |
|
12th 3 (9) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Started 2025 with a bang for new connections when winning a slowly run, four-runner Group 3 at Ascot (2m, good to firm) in April; remote with ambitious targets on next three starts and although sixth of 11 in 2m handicap at Chester in September was an upturn, markedly better is required to win this.. |

26th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Big chance on best 2023 efforts for Roger Varian but he did not shine last year (hurdles/Flat) for Emmet Mullins; 8,500gns buy in September and heavily beaten at 100-1 in a hot AW handicap (2m; first-time visor) in April; others are more solid at present. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer, although he has been lightly raced since taking a 3m1f Kilbeggan conditions hurdle in August 2024; absent since last October; would receive 16lb from Daddy Long Legs in a handicap. |
12/1 |
|

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 154y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer although hasn't won since taking 3m1f Kilbeggan conditions hurdle last summer; two recent runs under his belt could give him a fitness edge but lots to find on ratings with Hewick. |
7/4 |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 129y |
11st 6lb |
Eight-time winner, including four over hurdles; disappointed on the Flat at Killarney on return from 314-days off; should strip fitter now and handles soft but the majority of his best form has come on good ground; not discounted, especially if the track dries out. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 7lb |
Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |
40/1 |
|
10th 7 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |
16/1 |

11th 6 |
1st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Fine dual-purpose performer is a credit to himself and his stable; won this two years ago but disappointing last year; however, was in good form over the summer and has a chance again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer but on losing run since November 2024; excellent second in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket last October but well below best in three runs this term and this trip looks far too sharp; others appeal more. |
18/1 |
|
7th 2 (4) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; recent run here was over an inadequate trip, more expected of here and seemingly McMonagle's pick. |
10/1 |

12th 1 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; runs over an inadequate trip here on second start of the season. |
