Great money-spinner for connections and especially effective at Galway, winning for the third time there when landing Colm Quinn Mile in July under well-judged front-running ride; fine effort under 7lb penalty five days later at same venue when third in Ahonoora Handicap back at 7f; second in this race two years ago off 101 so major respect although draw hasn't been kind. |

Loves it here, winning this race two years ago and back at his best when winning Colm Quinn BMW Mile on Tuesday under well-judged front-running ride; went close to completing this notable double in 2023 so has to be respected although mandatory 7lb penalty makes this a lot tougher; good draw. |

9st 8lb |
Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however. |

Three fine efforts on AW to start the year but his run of good form came to a halt when well behind Blue Rc at Newcastle over Easter; acts on turf but has a much better strike-rate on AW; drawn widest. |

Won the Irish Lincolnshire (1m, soft) last March before finishing third in this (good to soft) and at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); a market check is advised but he's now been below par on each of his last four runs, having finished down the field in the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over C&D (good) and career-best in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh over an extended 6.5f in July; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return (6f, good); entitled to improve and he's in the mix off 2lb higher. |
