9st 2lb |
One of two for yard that has won two of the last four renewals; useful hurdler was well held on return to the Flat behind Poetic Sound here on latest (1m6f, yielding) but was runner up in this last year on good ground off 1lb higher; dangerous to discount. |

Useful on the Flat, although sole win came back in 2024, narrowly beaten here over 2m last summer; equally talented hurdler, but some stiff tasks of late; market likely informative back on the Flat. |

One of three for yard; Useful on the Flat; off the mark over hurdles in a C&D maiden in February (sft-hvy); beaten 11.5l when midfield in the Supreme at Cheltenham (when Townend rode) and raced keenly before pulled up in the Fairyhouse Grade 2 won by Koktail Brut latest; overlooked by Townend here. |

9st 6lb |
Won handicap debut at Ayr (1m, good to soft) last September; well held in Royal Ascot handicap in June but placed either side, leading for long way when third of seven at York (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; the stable's very good form and first-time blinkers are reasons why he might pull out a bit more this afternoon. |

31st Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ultra-consistent and registered a deserved first win in a novice at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) on latest outing; however, having had to settle for a place in his 1m2f handicaps at Ascot (good) and York (good to soft) in May, this field looks more demanding; worth a go at 1m4f but others are preferred for the win. |

Yet to win but not fully exposed and he was better than the bare facts of his only start over this trip (met trouble); beaten a neck in 1m novice event at Windsor last time but interesting back up in trip returned to handicap. |

Runner-up three times in novice/maiden events at around 1m; suffered a miserable trip when fourth of eight in a 1m2f Ascot handicap last month (good; first-time cheekpieces); sets the standard back in novice company and he's a strong contender. |

Overcame inexperience and a slightly troubled passage when narrowly making a winning debut in a maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) in January, but was never involved after a slow start in a novice over the same C&D a fortnight ago; should be suited by the step up in trip and respected on turf/handicap debut. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner in Britain (1m-1m3f); made promising start to hurdling career on stable debut after 11 months off when landing 2m1f maiden at Killarney 27 days ago, beating Tyson Fury by 4l; jumping was very novicey and needs to improve; form of that race has a solid look to it and he's a leading contender; wouldn't want much rain based on Flat form. |

Three-time Flat winner for Marco Botti in Britain; purchased for 89,000gns in August; brings a Flat rating of 89 for his hurdling/stable debut; should be suited by this better ground and of obvious interest given trainer/rider combination. |

Flat winner has shown much-improved form over hurdles this season, winning at Clonmel and Limerick the last twice over approximately this trip; another 7lb rise demands more, but he has to be on the shortlist. |

1st 4 |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Won as a 2yo in Britain; failed to make much impression over hurdles last winner; different proposition now; has gone up 13lb for his improved performances (second, followed by a win) at Clonmel this season; sustained progress is feasible |

Off the mark in 1m novice on Lingfield AW in December but he's found it harder in handicaps this year and his recent runs back at Lingfield leave him with work to do on his Tapeta debut. |

Landed a novice over C&D last December but has blown hot and cold in handicaps in the meantime; drops into a Class 6 and needs the return to this surface to help galvanise him. |
