26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Won the St Leger and fifth in the Arc in 2023 but has failed to repeat the form since and is reduced to pacemaking duties these days; as in the Coronation Cup two starts ago, looks set to cut out the fractions for stablemate Jan Brueghel before eventually being swallowed up. |

18th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
2023 was his heyday, when winning the St Leger and fifth in the Arc; career has taken some disappointing turns since last autumn and he could be set for a front-running role at a big price today, as on his last two starts. |

9st 2lb |
Ended his 2023 campaign with a success in the St Leger and good effort in the Arc; modest strike-rate since and has become inconsistent too; possibly in here as pacemaker for stablemate Jan Brueghel. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
Seven wins on the Flat, also a winning hurdler; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for a third time last month; has chased home the smart Purview on two occasions at this venue this season; got closer over 1m2f three weeks ago, than in a 1m4f event in May. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner on the Flat; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for the third year running on latest; won lesser renewal of this race last season (good) but was no match for Purview in 1m4f Listed heat here on penultimate; hard to see him turning that around, but generally reliable and place chance. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Won this race in 2023 and 2024; good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins in Listed/Group 3 contests at the Curragh over 1m4f/1m2f on good; hasn't hit top stride yet this season but is top-rated here; he would prefer decent ground but has form on soft. |

Top rated 3yo is well treated by the conditions of this race; cracking run when fifth in the Irish Oaks in July; filled the same position in the Epsom Oaks; not beaten far in a pair of Group 3s and a Group 2 on her last three starts over 9.5f-10f; goes back up in distance now and is dropped in class; leading claims if seeing out this trip. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

9st 0lb |
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. |

9st 6lb |
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. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Top rated in here at 107; running well in higher grades on his last few starts; his last try in Listed company resulted in victory at the Curragh (1m, soft); was only beaten 3.5l in a Group 2 on latest and he has to hold big claims here if handling the surface on AW debut. |
