9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins here in today's event and Group 3 International Stakes over 1m2f; subsequent Leopardstown efforts were below best below best, as was last month's seasonal return here in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes dominated by two stablemates; entitled to come on for that. |

Good form early last season, notably recording back-to-back wins at this venue in a Listed 1m4f contest and Group 3 International Stakes over this trip; below best when attempting a repeat of his 2024 Group 3 win at Leopardstown's Irish Champions meeting; well beaten at the same venue on final start. |

Better than ever this term, recording back-to-back wins at the Curragh in Listed contest and 1m2f Group 3 International Stakes when never stronger than at finish; below best however when attempting repeat win in last month's Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here (1m4f) so needs to bounce back; big player if he does. |

9st 6lb |
Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year, having faced some stiff tasks since, career-best when front-running second to ready winner Scandinavia in Navan Listed last month; not as good behind same rival since under similar tactics in Group 3 Saval Beg; bit to find on ratings and step up to 2m looks a big ask. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |

Won the 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes here in April 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year; no match for Leinster in a St Leger trial at the Curragh last August; twice placed in small-field AW events during the winter; stronger form in defeat behind Scandinavia at Navan; not certain to uphold form with Leinster. |

9st 2lb |
Won her maiden here last season over 1m on good to yielding; followed that with a creditable effort on heavy in a Listed race at Leopardstown in October; her final run of 2024 at Saint-Cloud was too bad to be true; only rated 91 but she's proven on testing ground and she could outrun her likely odds. |

Churchill filly made encouraging belated debut when second to subsequent Irish Cambridgeshire runner-up State Actor at the Curragh (1m, heavy) in April; unable to land short odds at Navan next time under forceful tactics but pair well clear of the remainder; this looks an ordinary maiden and she should make it third time lucky if she handles a sounder surface. |

9st 9lb |
No wins last season but strong form in defeat in big staying handicaps; fourth in the amateur handicap at Galway, fifth in the Irish Cesarewitch and signed off with a fine second in the Cesarewitch; recent run here was over an inadequate trip, more expected of here and seemingly McMonagle's pick. |

Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |

Ex-French; solid form in stakes races at two and three, including third in the 2023 German Oaks (1m3f, soft); best run last year when behind the Irish-trained American Sonja in a 1m2f Longchamp Group 3; run was too bad to be true on Irish debut at Naas. |

French recruit; solid form in stakes company at two and three, including a 2.5l third in the 2023 German Oaks (1m3f, soft); best run last year came behind American Sonja in a Longchamp Group 3; has a bit to find on the figures and is probably best watched on stable bow. |
