18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is progressive in the main; justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (good to yielding) most recently, taking his form figures over 1m2f to 11121 and overall strike-rate to 6-11; unable to match Ombudsman's late acceleration in the International but had got up late on to collar that rival in the Eclipse and is set for another gripping rematch. |

9st 3lb |
Won two Derby trials over C&D and bounced back from Epsom failure to win the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); deserved much credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on, having found trouble in running in the straight; beaten by the same top-class rival at York; reputation largely restored all the same; major player for stable denied six in a row in this last year. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Derby trials this spring and bounced back from Derby disappointment to win the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he deserves immense credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on last time having found trouble in running in the straight and got behind, and it was a performance that suggests he could take plenty of beating today. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
This progressive Kingman colt is on a hat-trick after successive Listed wins at Cork (10.5f, yielding) on final run of last term and at this venue (1m4f, good) on seasonal return; won that latest race by 6l in seriously impressive fashion (eased down) and should be fine dropped back in trip; top rated here and leading claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Smart, lightly raced 4yo; never quite fulfilled Leopardstown's Derby Trial second this time last year although did end the campaign on a winning note in 1m2f Cork Listed in September in ready fashion; looks the type to make an even better 4yo upped to this trip; very interesting player. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1-winning 2yo made the frame last year in Epsom/Curragh Derbies and career-best when winning the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay (1m7f, very soft) at Longchamp in October; disappointing when last seen in Group 2 Riyadh contest in January, fading tamely on quick ground after forcing much of pace; demands plenty of respect on overall form. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Coped with heavy ground to beat Green Storm in three-runner Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f) last October; needed the race and unsuited by a muddling gallop and quick ground when around 7l third behind Delacroix in the Ballysax in May; did best of those who came from off the pace when finishing strongly for third in the Derby; holds a fighting chance in the rematch. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Proved well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, notwithstanding two wins (7f/1m2f); comfortably on top in Ovrevoll handicap (8.5f) in latest start for a Norwegian stable that he has joined this year; however, faces a markedly harder assignment in this field. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner Navan contest over this trip in July when dropped in grade; no show in Group 3 Royal Whip over C&D latest; stiff task back in handicap company. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |

Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |
