1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
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. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
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. |

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. |

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. |

4th 3 (3) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Stepped outside of handicap company (fourth in Chester Cup and in Ascot Stakes) to win a four-runner St Leger Trial at the Curragh last August, readily brushing aside front-running Dallas Star in the final furlong; faced a very stiff task but ran no sort of race when tailed off in the Irish St Leger. |

11st 0lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle; won Lingfield Derby Trial last year but well held in Irish Derby and Irish St Leger; bought for 78,000gns and soundly beaten on yard debut in Grade 2 Leopardstown hurdle at Christmas; tried in a tongue-tie here and plenty on his plate in what looks a hot Listed race. |

Ex Ballydoyle-trained; won Lingfield Derby Trial last year but well held in both Irish Derby and Irish St Leger; bought for 78,000gns and soundly beaten on yard debut in Grade 2 Leopardstown hurdle at Christmas; tried in a tongue-tie here and plenty on his plate in what looks a hot Listed race. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
3yo represents stable that has won this nine times, including last year; built on promise of reappearance effort behind Delacroix when winning the Derby Trial at Lingfield (11.5f, gd-fm); off since below par effort in the Irish Derby; gets weight from his older rivals but needs to prove stamina for this trip (mixed messages in pedigree); obvious chance if he stays. |
