12th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Proven in this headgear; pays his way under both codes and, if able to reproduce his effort here on Tuesday when hitting the line well for third in the 1m6f Copper Horse Stakes (good to firm), then he won't be far away on these favourable terms; the grey areas are inconsistency and the extra 7f (he did run over 3m over jumps) but he's one of only a few with realistic ambitions of winning. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
In rude health last summer, including when second off this mark in competitive handicap at York (2m, good to firm); won over hurdles in January but his form has been mixed since across both codes; below best back on Flat last time. |

10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose veteran has won 11 of his 39 starts under Rules but he's shown virtually nothing since a Listed Chester win on the Flat in September 2023; needs a revival. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Group 3 winner over 1m2f at three; his losing run of 13 includes a fading fourth in this last year (good to firm); likely flattered by his close proximity to Scandinavia in a 1m6f Listed race in April and hasn't fared so well since; even if back on song, this is a tough place for front-runners. |
20/1 |

4th 3 (5) |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 110y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made most from wide draw in major handicaps on both starts for Richard Hughes, reeled in late on when third in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) but backpedalling before the home straight at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); big shout if he reverts to the Chester performance. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Only 1-10 for Dermot Weld but was highly tried on occasions; made his debut for Richard Hughes in the Chester Cup (2m2f, good) and, having broken well from his wide draw, he put up a bold show from the front only to be reeled in late in the day; a 2lb nudge is easy to stomach and dropping back to 1m6f could work given the cruising speed he showed at Chester. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 7 (16) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Sole win (ten starts) for Dermot Weld was a maiden in 2024; has tried Group/Listed races but his most competitive show last year came when fourth of 14 in 1m6f handicap at Glorious Goodwood, off 3lb higher than today; tried a hood on AW debut at Lingfield in February and has since changed stables (same owners); has a bit to prove and such a wide draw is unlikely to help. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark. |
100/30 |

1st 6 (1) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won twice over 1m4f in 2024 and began last season in form of his life over 1m6f at Navan, touched off in handicap and fine third in Listed contest; last month's 1m4f Leopardstown comeback run was encouraging, could well improve enough from that to play a major role here back at 1m6f. |

3rd 1 (1) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Won twice over this trip in 2024 and began last season in form of his life over 1m6f at Navan, touched off in handicap and and fine third in Listed contest; tried over 2m afterwards to no great effect and below form on heavy ground final start; goes well fresh and top-weight respected. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 9lb |
Last year's winner who went on to post a career-best when second of 24 in Group 1 Melbourne Cup (2m, good-to-soft); last month's Limerick comeback run well below her best but entitled to come on for that and major chance on ratings. |
6/4 |

8th 9 (3) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 7lb |
Third runner for yard; dual-purpose performer, 6-12 on Flat, 1-7 over jumps; highly progressive last year, winning 1m6f and 2m Listed at the Curragh and Down Royal before Group 3 victory at Fairyhouse and third in the Group 2 Lillie Langtry at Goodwood in August; rounded off the year with an excellent runner-up in the Melbourne Cup; fitness has to be taken on trust but big player if she's ready. |

3rd 3 (2) |
2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Better than ever since sent back to the Flat after three runs over fences during the winter; justified favouritism in a 1m6f Listed race at Gowran Park, 2m Listed event at Down Royal and 1m6f Group 3 at Fairyhouse on last three outings, all on good ground; more to prove on soft (despite winning a maiden hurdle) but she needs major respect. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Bought for 330,000gns after winning two of six races for Ralph Beckett (including on soft); comfortably won 1m4f Roscommon Listed last summer and on seasonal return chased home a subsequent Group 3 winner in 2m Down Royal Listed in May; absence since a slight concern but presumably she has an autumn campaign in mind and demands plenty of respect. |

Bought for 330,000gns after winning two of her six races for Ralph Beckett; comfortably saw off Cristal Clere in a 1m4f Listed race at Roscommon last summer before holding her own in a Group 3; unraced beyond 1m4f but good chance that she'll stay and returns with yard having winners. |

Maiden and handicap winner on good ground this year and also placed in a Fairyhouse Group 3 (1m6f, good) in July; hampered when a 4.25l third behind Fleur De Chine in the Listed Bluebell Stakes at Naas on latest; this ground may not be ideal. |

Won Cork maiden over this trip in May and best effort when landing 1m2f Down Royal fillies' handicap (beating Lady Lunette); creditable efforts in Group company since so remains of interest back in Listed class. |
