9st 10lb |
Won three handicaps last season including this event off 93 (beating Gleneagle Bay a head); career-best when beaten a neck in Group 3 Brownstown Stakes over C&D in July, well below best when dropped in trip latest; one to consider. |

9st 7lb |
Won three handicaps last season, including the Sovereign Path over 7f at Leopardstown's Irish Champions fixture; solid form this season, including second to Bellaphina (rec 11lb) in a 7f Curragh handicap before career-best in finishing a neck second in a Leopardstown Group 3; failed to match that form when unplaced favourite for a 7f Listed race at Cork ten days ago. |

Unlucky not to get her head in front again this term after an eyecatching second in a Curragh handicap before a neck defeat in a Leopardstown Group 3 last time out recording a career best; looks like a big each-way player again. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days and gelded prior to his stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, a race in which he was caught out wide but plugged on for second behind the thriving easy winner; clearly retains ability but this will demand much more. |
40/1 |
|
2nd 2 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Useful for Richard Fahey, winning five times the latest of which was a 7f handicap in Qatar in November 2024; makes his debut for his new yard (gelded in the meantime) and, like his stablemate The Strikin Viking, whether he is on a favourable mark remains to be seen; the choice of James Doyle, though, so interesting to see what the market says. |
4/1 |

4th Oct 2024 Heavy 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |

3yo who made it four wins from his six starts when scoring at Chester (6f, good) in July, and he's been a close third the next twice (6f/7f, good); won on debut on good to soft (unraced on softer); he could still have more to offer and may be in the shake-up this afternoon. |

Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but he's finished runner-up on his last three outings, including when dropped back to 6f here (good to firm) last Friday; races from the same mark and this previous course winner looks sure to be involved. |

Campaigned mostly over 7f; on a two-year losing spell but his turn looks near, having finished second at Ascot (good to firm) the last twice; successful on both Newmarket tracks and the way he races suggests this drop back to 6f is worth exploring; respected. |
11/4 |

He recorded the last of his three victories back in August 2024 but his mark had reflected that when very good neck second of 17 over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; up 3lb but another good show can be expected. |

The last of his four wins came in a C&D premier handicap in June 2024; some cracking runs in defeat since, including a close sixth in this race last year and runner-up over C&D in June; not as good behind Kalir last time. |

Last win came in a valuable C&D handicap in June 2024 off 88; best run for almost a year came in the same event here last time in first-time blinkers (retained), with 3l back to Playin Cool; 5lb rise for that is perhaps a tad harsh but winner ran well twice at Galway; firmly in the mix. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Uncharacteristically below par at Ascot recently but was under a new rider in the Shergar Cup; he's run really well in defeat under Danny Tudhope in some hot handicaps this year and was second in this last season (good to firm); versatile ground-wise; could bounce back with a big performance. |
16/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 1lb |
Finished second behind Ebt's Guard in this race 12 months ago when rated 14lb lower; he has earned his lofty rating since then, winning twice at Goodwood last autumn and recording a career-best RPR when second of 18 in the Golden Mile at Goodwood eight days ago; another big run anticipated. |

Blew his chance at the start in most recent handicap attempt but generally consistent otherwise in the last year and ties in with several of today's rivals on Royal Hunt Cup form; 2-2 at Goodwood and looks interesting back here despite remaining on a career-high mark. |
