10st 2lb |
Course legend has won 10 of his 12 races at this track and amassed 575,000GBP in prizemoney; has won twice at Listed level this season and second in a Group 2; however, wasn't himself when eased and well beaten last time; has run well in defeat in this race for the last two years but the trip stretches him and is vulnerable again. |

Course specialist made it ten wins here with a Listed race success over this trip in June; also won the Gladness Stakes over 7f here in March; second to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave in the Greenlands in May, with James Delight in third; holding his form admirably on the evidence of Group 2 second over 7f here three weeks ago. |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ran well in the Group 3 Abernant in April on his stable debut (6f, good) but he's been unable to build on it in three runs since; others have more pressing claims. |
20/1 |

2 (8) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Ex-French 4yo who excelled himself on stable debut when second in Group 3 Abernant at Newmarket (6f, good); hasn't repeated that form in two runs since, although he faced a stiff task in Group 1 at Royal Ascot on latest; no surprise if he bounces back and he'll be a major player if he does; just as effective at 5f as 6f in France; tongue-tie on for first time in Britain. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Group 2 winner as 2yo; threw away a golden opportunity in 6f Listed race at Doncaster in March when diving to his left inside the final furlong; well below par in the same grade last time and would be a surprise winner here, even if first-time blinkers give him a boost. |

6th 5 (6) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Group 2 winner as a 2yo; threw away a winning opportunity in a Listed race at Doncaster in March (6f, good to soft) when diving to his left inside the final furlong; this is easier than this summer's earlier turf assignments but he's often slowly away and he isn't one for the faint of heart. |
9/2 |

7th 3 (2) |
29th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced since winning 2yo Group 2 in September 2023 (7f, soft); went close in Listed race on 2025 reappearance (6f, good to soft) and respectable fifth in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) last time; however, he again looks vulnerable this afternoon. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won last year's Greenlands Stakes here, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn; out of the money on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; more like it in his repeat bid in the Greenlands, splitting Big Gossey and Bucanero Fuerte; relatively light campaign may stand to him now. |

3rd 6 (3) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |

7th Sep 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Went very close in a Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) in May and comfortably made all in Listed race at Newmarket last month (6f, good to firm; Elmonjed second); carries a 3lb penalty today but has leading claims nevertheless at a track where he has plenty of strong form. |

1st 6 (7) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Had a fine 2024 campaign once blinkers were added, winning two Newbury handicaps then blitzing his rivals in the Ayr Gold Cup; 0-4 this year but he has been running with great credit in good company; drops into Listed company and his record of 211 over C&D features a notable 3yo handicap win; looks sure to go well. |
3/1 |

3 (5) |
28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Last season's Ayr Gold Cup winner who has returned in good nick, going down by only a short head in a 6f Group 2 at the Curragh (good) five weeks ago; also had some good 7f form last year. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Australian 6f Group 2 winner who made the frame in Group 1s there; disappointing favourite on stable debut at the Curragh last month but the ex-Australian Starspangledbanner won this for the yard in 2010 following a substandard first northern hemisphere run; could bounce back with a very bold show. |
5/1 |
|
7 (9) |
24th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Bids to follow in the footsteps of Starspangledbanner having won Group races down under before a switch to Ballydoyle; this is a stepping stone for Group 1 engagements at Royal Ascot but Australian sprint form is a cut above European in recent years and he's likely to be hard to beat if fully tuned up. |

9st 7lb |
Listed winner at Cork (6f) on heavy ground on last season's return before lesser run in France; not beaten far when sixth of nine in 6f Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here on seasonal debut; career-best when second in a 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown last month, with East Hampton fourth and Mutasarref back in seventh. |

Two-time winner; beat My Mate Alfie by a short head in a listed heat over C&D (good) in June; didn't uphold that form in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes; much more like it in the Group 3 Ballyogan Stakes at Naas on latest when chasing home Sky Majesty; ground versatile and should be in the mix again. |

7f Group 2 winner as a juvenile, and runner-up in the Group 1 Moyglare Stakes; Classic-placed in France last year before found wanting in subsequent Grade 1 attempts; sights have been lowered this season; twice fourth in Pattern races before landing 6f Listed at the Curragh in June; lacked the pace to make a major impact in a 6f Group 3 at the same venue on latest. |
