10st 0lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Gowran Park maiden (1m, good) in May (runner-up has won since); came up well short in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot latest; this is more realistic; can't dismiss on handicap debut. |

9st 2lb |
Tad frustrating in maiden races until improving for first-time tongue-tie at Gowran Park (1m, good) most recently, opening his account with a ready win from the front; faces a markedly stiffer task upped in class and is possibly in here as pacemaker for the yard's main hope Henri Matisse. |

8st 11lb |
Irish challenger who won at the Curragh (1m, good) in June then finished second of 17 at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); however, he hasn't really kicked on since and needs something extra today. |

Won a Gowran maiden for Dermot Weld last year; progressive for new yard this term, winning a valuable 1m handicap here on Derby weekend off 82; fine efforts in defeat twice since at Galway five days apart, second to Orandi in the Colm Quinn Mile and fourth in the 7f Ahonoora; 4 1/2l behind Manton Bay when third in the Irish Cambridgeshire. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
10st 2lb |
Found out off higher marks since his Leopardstown win (1m1f, soft; in this new headgear combination) but has continued to run well, from 1m1f to 1m3f; consistent and rates a solid contender. |

Solid and consistent, but has plenty of weight; 1m1f Leopardstown win came on soft, but his latest third back there over 1m2f was on good and he ran his race; has his chance, but Keane's preference for stablemate wouldn't encourage support. |

Won a 1m AW maiden in Ireland and was close up in a 1m Lingfield handicap three starts ago; however, not so good on his final two runs for Jessica Harrington and sold on for 5,000gns. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark on his second start for this yard when scoring at Doncaster (1m2f) in June and he followed up at Hamilton (1m4f, also good to firm) the following month; raced freely before finishing tailed off at Newmarket last time but that was too bad to be true; return to this trip should be no issue and he's a contender to bounce back. |

21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-7 in Ireland but he's been a big improver this season and made it 2-3 for George Scott when completing a double at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was against two rivals but he won in decisive fashion and still looks feasibly treated off 5lb higher; strong contender in hat-trick bid. |

17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, prevailing by 3l on his second stable start; kept on for close third over 1m3f on his stable debut and there can be optimism that 1m4f will be within range; strong claims up 7lb for last time. |

Won Cork handicap (7f, soft) last September; failed to sustain that progress on her last three starts in 2025; improved from her seasonal debut when fifth at Gowran; not one of the more obvious contenders after unplaced Cork run. |

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out. |

Half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip; modest Flat handicapper for Joseph O'Brien; won over 1m5f at Down Royal last July off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway represents his best form; has joined Enda Bolger; would prefer better ground. |

Fourth runner for yard; confirmed promise of handicap debut third at Limerick (11.5f, good) by scoring comfortably at Down Royal (1m5f, good); hiked up 10lb for that and drops back slightly in trip; preferred by McMonagle and this half-brother to Melbourne Gold Cup winner Gold Trip could have more in the tank. |
