9st 7lb |
Dual C&D winner (on good and heavy) in 2024 but no joy since; beaten 1l when third in this last year and 1lb lower now but had the benefit of a recent run that day; might need this after 238 days off but Keane booked so market check advised. |

Won twice over C&D in 2024, including a premier handicap; some good runs in defeat this year including over 1m2f here last time; this trip suits better and handles this ground so is considered. |

Only 1-15 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Goodwood over the summer for Gavin Cromwell; dropped out quickly on yard debut at Dundalk last month and back in trip here. |

Only 1-14 but has flashes of good form and wasn't beaten far in a 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood last time; however, she's relying on some of these being below par to have a major say. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Best results on good ground; debut remains her only win but she has run some big races in defeat, narrowly denied in a fine duel over 9.5f at Gowran Park on last month's stable/seasonal debut; that's the furthest she's been and she was well held when back to 1m for new owners at Royal Ascot 16 days later; well worth a go at 1m2f. |

Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable. |
10/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track. |

Highly tried and rated as 3yo but only managed maiden win; back from almost three years off and nearly beat 104-rated foe at Gowran (7f, heavy) on Thursday; turned out again quickly which is a very Bolger thing to do; won't mind this ground and respected. |
