9st 1lb |
Third in a Group 2 last season before winning his maiden at the Curragh (7f); off for nearly a year prior to finishing last in the 1m4f Group 2 Prix Niel only 19 days ago (good to soft); needed to show more to be a confident selection for this; now tongue tied. |

Justify colt and Ballydoyle representative who finished well for second in Newbury maiden (7f, good to firm; favourite) four weeks ago, faring best of the newcomers; bottom of this pack on bare figures but is open to progress and could perform well. |

Chased home an odds on shot from Ballydoyle on debut but the third didn't do much for the form last weekend; ought to build on that and shaped like 1m would be fine. |

Thrived with step up in trip this summer, winning at Leopardstown (1m1f) and stayed on strongly over today's C&D in beating Glen To Glen 2.25l in July; 7lb higher but could go well. |

Won off 76 on handicap debut at Leopardstown early last month (1m1f, good); another solid effort off revised mark of 84 over 1m1f in premier handicap here latest, shaping like this extra furlong would suit; dropped 1lb and has run well on soft; could go well. |

9st 11lb |
Contested some good maidens and runner-up three times before decisive win at Gowran (beating Iceford) in May over this trip; creditable handicap debut against his elders at Cork when racing away from the pace; rider's claim a positive back against his peers. |

Contested good maidens; runner-up three times before decisive win at Gowran last month; form franked but 11lb rise makes this hard for the only three-year-old in the race taking on battle-hardened handicappers. |

Second to Ballydoyle-trained colts (notably Monday's Tetrarch Stakes winner Officer) on his first two starts before a fourth behind one from the same yard at the Curragh last year; strong in the betting when second of 16 at Naas (7f, soft to heavy) on return; leading contender on this contrasting surface. |

One of two runners for yard; green but promise on debut at Galway on yielding ground when a 13l third; tenderly handled dropped back to 7f at the Curragh on latest; the step back up in trip here will suit and he seemed to handle an ease at Galway; claims. |

Out of a winning sister to Derby hero Serpentine; also blinkered at the Curragh and could manage only eighth of 14 behind a well-fancied stablemate; Wayne Lordan rode that day but he's now on Light As Air. |

Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip. |
6/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Progressing well on AW for current yard, recording a second win at Dundalk last month off 61 before solid third there next time; couldn't transfer that form to turf at Bellewstown last time when tailed off (1m4f, soft); perhaps better ground can suit more, but likelihood is that he's better on AW. |
