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. |

9st 9lb |
Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals. |

3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won this in 2023; consistent stakes performer with seven wins; won Heritage Stakes last season, beating Mutasarref by a neck; best subsequent effort came when fourth in Minstrel Stakes in July; two starts this season, improved from return to be beaten 3.25l behind The Lion In Winter at Leopardstown seven days ago; down in trip; mightn't want the ground too testing but shouldn't be far away and trainer has good course record. |

9st 7lb |
Seven career wins include this race last season, when he got up in the last strides to deny the odds-on favourite Mutasarref; produced his best subsequent effort when fourth in the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh last July; dropped away tamely in the 7f Gladness Stakes at the Curragh on seasonal debut. |

led, slowed tempo after halfway, joined 3f out, soon headed and pushed along, disputing second when ridden over 1f out, no chance with winner when lost second inside final 110yds |

Useful sort won a Group 3 at Saint-Cloud in testing ground on second start last year andf ran creditably in stronger company after; however, was very disappointing on return over C&D behind White Birch and has to bounce back. |

9st 7lb |
Well beaten in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot 2023 on her first attempt at 1m4f and returned to the trip only on latest outing, when comfortably moving 4l clear in the closing stages at Saint-Cloud (very soft); that was a career best, in only a Listed race compared to today's Group 1 but she may now have more to offer at this sort of trip and is in each-way contention. |

Decent filly goes best on testing ground, winning a Navan Listed and Saint-Cloud Group 3 last season in such conditions over this trip; is 3lb better off for a 3/4l beating by White Birch in the Group 3 Alleged Stakes on return, so there should be little between them today. |

Uneven form in four starts last year; put up a clear career-best when running away with a 1m1f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 in September; excellent run on return over C&D in Group 3 Alleged Stakes when just a neck behind White Birch; plenty to prove now after last of five behind the same talented colt in Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes. |

Was hit and miss in four starts last year but put up a clear career-best when running away with a 1m1f Fairyhouse fillies' Group 3 last September; excellent run on return over C&D in Group 3 Alleged Stakes when just a neck behind White Birch; 3lb better off today, so a big chance. |
