9st 9lb |
Second runner for yard; hasn't had much racing for his age; won the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2024 and beaten 7l by Al Riffa in last year's Curragh Cup; finished 26l behind Chally Chute when remote fifth in Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes in November; returns from a break with plenty to prove now. |

Hasn't had much racing for his age; won the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2024 and beaten 7l by Al Riffa in this year's Curragh Cup on only run since; should be involved if close to his best. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

12st 0lb |
Largely consistent 7yo who gave it a good shot from the front when third in competitive Sandown handicap (2m4f, good) last month; eased in grade here and will be fine over the shorter trip; major contender. |

Largely consistent 7yo who recovered from a jumping error at third-last flight to take fourth in Sussex Champion Hurdle at Plumpton (2m, good) there weeks ago; also suited by 2m4f and this track; considered each-way. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Has won at this trip but last four runs have been over further and he hasn't kicked on from his Musselburgh win in January (2m4f, good to soft; 3lb lower); probably has little margin for error mark-wise and unlikely the same is true about some of his rivals. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 16y |
9st 8lb |
Mare is 2-17 overall; without a win since landing a 2m4f listed race at Mulheim in September 2023 for Peter Schiergen; outran odds of 50-1 on second start for this stable when a 0.5l second in the Group 3 Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse (1m6f, good) on latest; a repeat of that would give her a place shout. |

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. |

Effective here; goes well on testing ground, as he showed again when winning at Ffos Las (1m6f; stays 2m+) in September on latest start; 3lb rise today is far less concerning than a move away from soft or heavy ground; big player if conditions are in his favour. |
