11st 12lb |
One of three for trainer; dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); 2024 County Hurdle winner was well below his best in that race this season back from a break (2m1f, soft); improved display at Cork when 3.25l behind Ndaawi (16.5f, yielding); a good bit to find with Lossiemouth even if running to his rating, which he hasn't done so far this term. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 2lb |
Classy dual-purpose sort who has run creditably in the last three Melbourne Cups (rated 107 on the Flat); below best after a break in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but should be sharper now and Harry Cobden has won on him before; top rated at 153 and obvious chance. |

11st 13lb |
Won this in 2024 and third last year, albeit off much lower marks; operated a little below his very best on the Flat last year, including in Australia in the autumn, which perhaps raises a few doubts as to whether he'll be able to find the career-best hurdle performance which will be needed to defy such a lofty mark. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 70y |
11st 0lb |
Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and running well in the spring before his form tailed off; successful hurdles/stable debut at Navan (2m, good; third and fifth won since) four weeks ago, strongly pressed inside final furlong but finding for pressure; can only improve stepping up in trip; the one to beat. |

19th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and was running well in the spring before his form tailed off; not long with this yard and it all depends on how he takes to jumping hurdles. |

6th 2 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Well-beaten second to Leinster in weaker four-runner renewal of this last year, and no match for Carmers at Down Royal in May; on a long losing sequence and will be a big price; usually leads. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Readily beat Dallas Star in last year's weaker renewal, but was tailed off in Irish St Leger; respectable runs behind top stayer Scandinavia on goodish ground first two starts this term; well beaten on soft behind Layfayette in June; overlooked by stable jockey; tongue-tie goes on. |

5th 3 (4) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 12lb |
Fourth in Chester Cup and Ascot Stakes last season; won four-runner St Leger Trial at the Curragh in August; failed to do himself justice when tailed off in Irish St Leger; made late progress into fourth behind Scandinavia at Navan on return; ran to a similar level when fourth of six in Group 3 Saval Beg at Leopardstown; should be sharper now. |

4th 2 (4) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Fourth in Chester Cup and Ascot Stakes last season, won a four-runner St Leger Trial at the Curragh in August, readily brushing aside front-running Dallas Star; failed to do himself justice when tailed off in the Irish St Leger, made late progress into fourth behind Scandinavia at Navan on return; should be sharper now and may reverse form with runner-up Dallas Star. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; Listed winner last year for Aidan O'Brien; below par in first three runs for this yard but back to form with a maiden hurdle win at Kilbeggan last month and another solid run in a Perth novice hurdle on latest; top rated and respected back on the Flat with in form claimer taking off 7lb. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Smart on Flat for Aidan O'Brien last year (won Lingfield Derby Trial) and got act together over hurdles at third attempt, keeping on well to win Kilbeggan maiden (2m, good) last month; that form was recently given a good boost by the third and this fellow is open to more improvement over jumps. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle; won a Listed race at Lingfield last year; purchased for 78,000gns in October but has been soundly beaten in two starts over hurdles and two Flat races for new yard; needs to improve. |
