8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Very much at the top his generation last year, winning the Chester Vase at this meeting before going on to classic glory at Epsom and the Curragh (all three wins over 1m4f on good ground); he was undeniably disappointing in the Great Voltigeur (1m4f, good to firm) and St Leger (14.5f, soft), but this looks a good starting point for his 4yo career given the race conditions and he should take the beating if anything like back to his best; cheekpieces are given a go. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Set the pace when winning the Derby at Epsom by nearly 4l and helped to set it when he dug deep to follow up in Irish Derby at the Curragh (again 1m4f on good) later in June; 3l fifth when 4-5 in the Great Voltigeur at York last month looked disappointing, notwithstanding the sprint from early in the straight, but his trainer has stressed that it was a stepping stone to bigger prizes in the autumn; the two Derby wins suggest this trip won't be a problem and they are the best form in this field. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
8st 9lb |
Only a length off Lambourn on his debut and later won a 1m maiden at the Curragh; beaten about 7l in his two races this season (the latest a handicap) but has been gelded and could come good again at some point. |

Curragh maiden winner last autumn had an underwhelming seasonal return in 1m2f Roscommon median auction contest last month (winner Arouet runs in Listed race on this card) but was eased once chance had gone; slight drop in trip could suit and unwise to rule out on handicap debut. |

Second runner for yard; maiden winner scored on handicap debut in nursery at this meeting last August (7f, soft); no impact off revised mark in four runs since and still 6lb above that last win; tongue-tie and blinkers tried. |

3yo won two on the AW last season; 0-9 on turf, though he did go close in a 6.5f Limerick rated race in July; no show in two handicaps since that run and was slowly away last time at the Curragh; others appeal more. |

3yo is a two-time AW winner at 1m; 0-8 on turf but has run well in defeat including a 0.5l second in a 6.5f rated race at Limerick (good) last month; soft ground not ideal at Galway latest; 4lb wrong but should be staying on at the finish. |

Maiden had been running well in defeat, including third here in May (1m3f) and Ballinrobe third (1m2f); didn't convince twice over 1m4f at Galway last month so legitimate stamina concerns upped further in trip here. |

0-8 but has run well in defeat of late, notably on Monday over C&D when fourth in first-time cheekpieces, barely getting the trip; quick return and likely stronger stayers in opposition. |

0-7 but has run well in defeat the last twice in lesser races than this at Killarney (1m3f, good) and Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld); more needed in this company and this longer trip not certain to suit. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago but shaped as though he may have needed that run and he's back in blinkers today, which he wore for the first time when winning at Gowran Park (9.5f, good) in June on his final outing for Joseph O'Brien; interesting. |
