8st 13lb |
AW winner at this trip last autumn and easily best of three turf runs this summer when beaten a neck over this trip at Leopardstown; may not have handled the track at Galway latest (softer ground) but definite chance on that Leopardstown run. |

Second runner for yard; half-brother to 5f winner Autumnal Breeze (inc AW; RPR 67); dam unraced half-sister to 7.5f winner Es Que (dam of Group winners Dominant, Listen In and Es Que Love); comes from a decent damline but cost only 2,500euros as a yearling; hooded; best watched. |

27th Sep 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Pretty quiet in Ireland this year but, after a 15,500gns sale in August, he broke his duck at the first attempt for new connections in a ten-runner apprentice handicap at Chester (1m6f, heavy; under Liam Wright) eight days ago; back up 4lb but should stay 2m and can build on that breakthrough win. |

A fair ex-Irish maiden who signed off for Jessica Harrington with a solid fourth in 2m1f Killarney handicap in July; has since changed hands for 15,500 guineas and not out of things for his new yard. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Showed clear promise last winter, which he made good on when winning a maiden at Worcester (2m, good; first run after wind surgery) in August; tailed off at 5-1 in quite a valuable handicap there eight days ago but is brought out again quickly; player if bouncing back. |

Showed clear promise on all three hurdling starts last season and returned from break with ready maiden win here (2m, good; first run after wind op) last month; moves up in trip today and represents stable renowned for targeting valuable handicap hurdles. |

Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Oliver; has shown promise in this sphere for Dan Skelton, in the frame in juveniles at Newbury and Ascot before making late errors when fifth of eight in 2m Ludlow juvenile in February; has since undergone wind surgery and holds leading form claims. |

11st 10lb |
Strike-rate of 5-10 over hurdles but now on a recovery mission after pulling up at Market Rasen in September and producing another laboured effort last week at Chepstow (both 2m handicaps); it could be that he's better dominating smaller fields, and he should have only one rival to worry about here. |

Continued progress, winning for the fifth time since May, when making all at Newton Abbot (2m1f, Class 3; from 8lb lower) three weeks ago; this represents his toughest test yet - up 21lb since sent handicapping - but you couldn't be confident where the ceiling lies; merits respect. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
Strong form at Leopardstown last season, winning three times, including a Listed contest and premier handicap (both over 1m5f on good to yielding); never a factor in the Irish Cesarewitch; unsuited by very soft ground here on seasonal debut; fine effort when runner-up to Scandinavia in the Saval Beg at Leopardstown (1m6f, good). |

Strong form at this venue last season, winning three times here, including a C&D Listed race and a 1m5f premier handicap; never a factor in the Irish Cesarewitch; probably unsuited by very soft ground on his seasonal debut at the Curragh six weeks ago. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Got off the mark on 10th start when winning a course maiden over the extended 1m2f here in May; appeared to find 1m1f inadequate at Leopardstown in July; ducked right at the horse-gate on the way to her win, visor now added to usual tongue-tie. |

Got off the mark on 10th start when winning a Dundalk maiden over 10.5f last time; raised 3lb for that but has run well in defeat at this venue before so is one to consider. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Record of 3-9; in first-time blinkers when a clearcut winner at Thirsk (1m4f handicap, good) last month; however, he was twice the price of Plage De Havre at York and after racing prominently he was out of sight when it mattered; he's better than that showing would indicate but still looks up against it. |
20/1 |

10th 4 (16) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
First two wins were on heavy/AW; there have been a couple of disappointments in his eight-race career but he followed two AW seconds by winning a six-runner race at Thirsk (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; up 5lb in this much more competitive race but he won in clearcut style in first-time blinkers. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 3 |

Won last September on his first two starts for this yard (heavy/AW); disappointing favourite at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on his reappearance but he's been runner-up at Kempton in both starts since; switches back to turf with blinkers now tried; contender. |

9st 12lb |
Unbeaten with cheekpieces added for his last six starts, including this race last year (outbattled an in-form Illinois), the St Leger at Doncaster (by a neck from Rahiebb) that September and last month's 2m4f Gold Cup at Royal Ascot; had proven fitness on his side against the reappearing Trawlerman when inching ahead close home in their magnificent duel for the Gold Cup, but his stayers' crown is unlikely to be relinquished without a mighty effort whatever the circumstances. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Plenty went wrong for him in the Queen's Vase here one year ago (still a close fifth) but unbeaten with cheekpieces added for his five starts since; that includes the St Leger at Doncaster (by a neck from Rahiebb) in September and two 1m6f events this spring (familiar route to this race for his stable) but also, and perhaps most tellingly, the 2m Goodwood Cup last July in which he asserted late on from last year's Gold Cup second; high class and there's plenty in those 1m6f/2m performances which suggests he will be a thorough stayer. |
7/4 |

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

Won four of his five races at three; improved with cheekpieces after Queen's Vase fifth, won a 1m5f Group 3 at Newmarket by almost 9l and mastering older stablemate Illinois in the Goodwood Cup (2m, good); dug deep to hold off Rahiebb on soft ground in the St Leger; readily coped with Dallas Star at Navan last month and now continues on the Kyprios route to the Gold Cup. |

One of two for yard; handicap debutante has shown enough in maidens to suggest she can win a race; opening mark looks fair, handles soft ground and she could go well. |

Finished 2025 in fine form, signing off with a win at Roscommon (1m4f, soft); yet to hit top gear this season, though her latest run at Galway was better than the bare result (hampered); remains 9lb above her last win, however. |

Took a big rise in the ratings for a 15l Roscommon win last season; unplaced in two early-season outings; blinkered first time; still a bit high in handicap. |
