7f and Cork not really his bag, so not a bad effort at all when beaten less than 2l in Listed company last time; previous fourth of 20 in British-dominated Scurry handicap was creditable too, and will have every chance if he gets the right set-up. |

Has recorded six of his eight wins over 5f, including last year's Rockingham Handicap; twice successful at 6f; now attempting this trip for the first time; has run well in Listed sprints this term and won a Naas conditions event before a creditable fourth of 20 in the Scurry Handicap at the Curragh. |

Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke here in the Rockingham, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at his best at Dundalk on first start this year; down the field behind Genesis in the Rockingham last month. |

Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke in this race, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at best at Dundalk on only start this year; however, potentially interesting now that he is reunited with the champion jockey who rode him to a Cork win off just one pound lower last July. |

Best known for AW exploits, but is effective on turf; not a bad effort on seasonal return in the Habitat Handicap when 2.25l behind the winner Headmaster (6f, good); good second at Navan next time, but his latest two runs have been below-par, including when well beaten over 6.5f here last time; blinkers return and replace the visor worn that day. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her return from the AW to finish a close third in Fairyhouse conditions event (6f, good) in June; not at same level later in month in Curragh Listed and good bit to find with Fregada on that run. |

Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company). |

Last win came in last year's Scurry here over slightly farther; some good runs this season, but basically he's in the handicapper's grip; went back up 4lb for Galway second over 7f, not as effective over 5f when favourite here last time. |

Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 in 2023; has also won at Listed level and was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; good efforts over this trip and 6.5f here recently and even better at Galway last time when a close second of 15 (7f, yielding); had things in his favour that day but should remain competitive off 4lb higher. |

C&D winner; very useful on his day and has won at Group 3 and Listed level; below best in three runs this term and sold for 35,000gns last month; tongue tie goes on for stable debut and on a dangerous mark if that sparks a revival. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |
