9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |

Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |

Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |

Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

Just a Cork maiden win last year to his tally, but has performed with credit this season; excellent second in the 25-runner Bold Lad last month (splitting My Mate Alfie and Tango Flare); improved again when third behind My Mate Alfie and Big Gossey last time; has a 7lb turnaround with the year-younger winner. |

Won this race last year before two respectable runs at Group 3 level; low-key return at Listed level at Naas but should be fully tuned up now; more on her plate in this renewal though. |

Last year's two wins were achieved over 7f, including a Listed race at Cork; plenty of merit in a 6f Group 3 Curragh run on her final start, when fourth of 11 despite having lost considerable ground at the start; will need to avoid a recurrence but not without a chance. |

Won a 6f Listed at Doncaster early last season (good to soft); ended 2025 in top form with convincing wins in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and a Listed race at Doncaster (Montassib fifth); failed to uphold form with Montassib at the same venue on seasonal debut. |

Won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) when others including James's Delight met trouble; ended 2025 better than ever with convincing successes in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and Listed race here (heavy; Montassib and Art Power unplaced); penalised this time but should go well again. |

Gained sixth win of his career in a 6f listed heat at Doncaster (gd-sft) in March; best run since a 1.75l second behind Beauvatier in a Deauville Group 3 (6f, soft); beaten just 2l when fifth in this last year; needs the forecast rain to come, can go well if it does. |

9st 9lb |
Prominent racer started his campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Newmarket (5f, good) and York (5f, good); yet to score at Pattern level but huge runs the last twice in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock (5f, good) and when a 1.5l fifth of 26 in the King Charles III (5f, gd-fm) at Royal Ascot; fourth in this last year and should be in the mix again. |
9/2 |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
3-30 turf strike-rate doesn't do justice to his ability and he confirmed his recent improvement when a highly creditable fourth, again from the front, in a Group 2 at Haydock (good to soft; acts well on good) in May; this stiffer track and tougher opposition are likely to count against him. |
25/1 |
|
4th 5 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
He's got back on track in a major way in 5f handicaps this spring, winning at Newmarket then impressively making all in a big field at York last week (both on good ground; effective on soft early in career); back up in grade this afternoon but this thriving 5yo could be capable of another bold bid. |
