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. |

27th Jul 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Has flopped badly on three occasions in his career, including in this race 12 months ago; otherwise a high-class performer who has won several top middle-distance prizes, all on good/firmer, including the 2023 Derby and most recently the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot; leading player provided he avoids one of his bad days. |

19th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
The Derby, Irish Derby, Irish Champion Stakes and Breeders' Cup Turf all fell to him last season but he ran absolute shockers in the 2,000 Guineas and King George (here) and flopped again in the Dubai Sheema Classic this March; Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (good to yielding) late last month was much more like it again, albeit leading only briefly in the closing stages before White Birch asserted by 3l; peak efforts have been on good or firmer (also Group 1 winner on heavy as 2yo) but he's uncomfortably enigmatic. |

Classy 2yo won a three runner race Gowran last July, his third win on turf; has failed to fire since and was never sighted in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, although heavy ground may not have suited; sliding mark but others appeal more. |

Smart juvenile in 2022, winner of the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; has come down in the world in recent seasons and has been competing over longer trips on AW; makes little appeal despite career-low mark. |

One of two for yard; sole win last season came in three-runner Gowran conditions race (9.5f); two middling efforts in handicaps since joining this yard, including a fourth behind Gaucher in December; last year's winner Dallas Star has better claims. |

9st 3lb |
Made debut last October and sole defeat among his first four runs (1m2f-1m4f, all AW) came behind Rebel Romance, who has since won two Group 1s; well-beaten fourth in Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh on last month's turf debut (1m2f, good to yielding; stablemate Crypto Force third) but perhaps today's faster ground will help and he's not ruled out. |

Has won three of his four starts, all on AW, notably a fine performance at Newcastle last time in winning the valuable Easter Classic Handicap under top-weight, making all; now rated a very respectable 113 but hard to know how effectively he will cope at this level on his first turf attempt. |

Group 3 and Group 2 winner who has bits of form at the top level; however, she has something to find on 2024 efforts, latest behind Emily Upjohn in the Pretty Polly; doesn't look poised to break her Group 1 duck. |

Has won only twice but has strong form, including Ribblesdale second last year (Bluestocking third); improved with cheekpieces to land Group 2 Blandford Stakes over C&D in September; third in Prix de l'Opera, not disgraced in sixth behind Inspiral at Breeders' Cup; made little impression in Tattersalls Gold Cup on return; cheekpieces left off then, back on now. |

Yet to win above Group 3 level; seemingly used as a pacemaker for higher-profile stablemates in Group 1 races of late and again looks poised to adopt that role; bottom of this pack on ratings and again likely to be swallowed up in the latter stages; wears first-time headgear. |

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. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

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. |

Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |

One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |
