25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Won the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; first-past-the-post in last year's Galway Hurdle, demoted for causing interference; fair sixth in this year's edition on ground plenty quick, below best back on the Flat at Leopardstown recently. |

9st 2lb |
Won the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; first-past-the-post in last year's Galway Hurdle, demoted for causing interference; fair sixth in this year's edition; otherwise, no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicaps over hurdles. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |
10st 9lb |
Enjoyed a career highlight when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; very nearly matched that achievement when first-past-the-post in this race last year, demoted for causing interference to Ndaawi; no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicap over hurdles or on the Flat since then; still 5lb higher than 12 months ago. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 7lb |
Admirable dual-purpose veteran is a winner of 14 races; 6-34 over hurdles but time may be catching up with him based on the evidence of his last two runs and was well beaten in this in 2024 off 2lb lower. |
40/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Fine dual-purpose performer won this last year (beating Helvic Dream) off 9lb lower; won twice on Flat afterwards, back from a break when well held back over hurdles at DRF in February; 13yo probably needs a career-best over hurdles to follow up here. |

Fine dual-purpose performer is a credit to himself and his stable; won this two years ago but disappointing last year; however, was in good form over the summer and has a chance again. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |

Eight wins (four on Flat, four over hurdles); ended last season with a Curragh second behind Sirius; confidence dented by recent form over jumps. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Grand sort has won four hurdles, including two small-field contests here last year; returned with a spin over fences in May; 2m3f is the farthest he's gone, so stamina for 3m is the concern. |
9/1 |
|
6th 10 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 107y |
11st 8lb |
Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but holds a good chance on current form; not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore before two decent handicap hurdle runs, third over 2m3f at Kilbeggan and second over 2m1f at Wexford. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Six-time winner over jumps (five of those coming over hurdles); getting on in years now, but not a bad effort on the Flat at Tramore over 2m before a good third of 12 at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding); her last win in this discipline came last year off 105 at Navan (2m, heavy). |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Progressive 2025, notably on good to firm with his win at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and second in the Ebor at York (1m6f); easily his most competitive show of 2026 was last time when fourth of 22 back in the Ebor (good to soft; Beylerbeyi a neck behind giving 3lb) and he shaped from off the pace as if he's probably as good as ever; seriously considered. |
8/1 |

4th 18 (9) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Unraced on the soft on Flat for nearly two years; progressive last season, most notably on good to firm with his win at Royal Ascot (2m4f) and second in this race; failed to shine at Ascot on first two starts this season (every chance over 1f out at the Royal meeting) before never dangerous when 40-1 in a recent Leopardstown Group 3; off the same mark as 12 months ago, however, this Irish St Leger entry could be dangerous to dismiss. |
22/1 |

6th 1 (6) |
6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive last season, completing a hat-trick in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; continued on the upgrade when second to Ethical Diamond in the Ebor at York (1m6f); has failed to recapture his best form in two trips to Ascot this season; was getting 6lb from the Mullins horse in the Ebor, now rated 20lb inferior. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Just 1-20 over hurdles, the win gained from the front in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) in April; not seen to same effect when ridden much more patiently on last three hurdling starts and was well beaten on the Flat last month but has slipped to a good mark. |
14/1 |

8th 3 (1) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Won 3yo maiden at the Curragh in 2023 but he hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years and an ordinary strike-rate over hurdles in the meantime suggests he'll struggle off his current mark back at this game. |
25/1 |

7th 4 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
1-19 over hurdles, the win gained from the front at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in April; below that form when fifth of six in recent 2m Uttoxeter handicap, though, and others in this field have much more potential. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 0lb |
Won this race (yielding) on first start for this stable last season and has held form well since; runner up in Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) then landed the Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes there in November; close second in Limerick Listed race (12.5f, soft) on seasonal return 11 days ago; top rated and obvious chance, but could do with some rain. |
2/1 |

2nd 1 (8) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |

In the form of his life last year, winning 1m4f Roscommon Listed on seasonal debut at 125-1 and better again when upped to 2m at the Curragh, unlucky narrow defeat in Irish Cesarewitch and ready winner of Group 3 Loughbrown Stakes in November on heavy; will appreciate the forecast rain and has to be respected on return. |

Three Flat wins include over 2m1f at Killarney and more recently 2m AW success in March; back from a break with encouraging third (Party Dress second) in Leopardstown lady riders' handicap last month; one to consider. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |

Strong stayer has won at up to 2m1f; got the better of Palamon by 1.5l over 2m on AW in March but was well behind that rival from 8lb worse off at Gowran on latest; might prefer further than this these days. |

24th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Very smart performer on the Flat, including wins in the Ebor and Irish St Leger; has only run three times since 2022, two moderate efforts on the Flat and then won a 16.5f maiden hurdle here in May; off since and best form is on good ground so underfoot conditions a worry. |

31st May 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |

Six-time winner on the Flat including the Ebor and Irish St Leger in 2021; off nearly three years and has been a long way below his best in two subsequent runs on the level for new yard; interesting switched to this sphere and wouldn't need to transfer all of his Flat ability to be a factor on hurdle bow; market may provide clues. |

A revelation at Downpatrick between May and August this year with three wins over 2m6f, the latest when easily defying a mark of 106; form dipped since, including when fourth over the same C&D last month, but the runner-up Harpy Eagle advertised the form with a win at Punchestown on Wednesday; won here on the Flat in the past; player. |

A revelation around here between May and August this year with three C&D wins, the latest last month when easily defying a mark of 106; the form has been well advertised by the third who won since; never a factor in the Ulster Cesarewitch on the Flat a fortnight ago but big player back at her favoured track. |
