9st 5lb |
93 rated St Mark's Basilica colt got off the mark in a 6f Cork maiden (yld-sft) 12 days ago; was no match for Chicago Call in a C&D maiden (good) on debut but could turn the tables on this easier ground; leading chance. |

Favourite on debut over this trip at Fairyhouse, left with plenty to do, ran green but stayed on well to chase home a clear winner; still looked a bit raw when third behind subsequent Group 2 runner-up Geryon over 7f at the Curragh; failed to find much when fourth over 7f at Gowran last week; not guaranteed to benefit from a drop in trip. |

Favourite on debut over 6f at Fairyhouse, left with plenty to do, ran green but stayed on well to chase home a clear winner, holding off today's rival Krasimir to take second place; still looked a bit raw when third at the Curragh; form of that race has been boosted by the winner Geryon and fifth-placed Hawk Mountain. |

9st 5lb |
Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July (good); best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f, yielding); improved over moderate seasonal return at Cork when a 3l sixth at Navan last time (6f, good to yielding); others preferred. |

Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July; best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f yielding); below form in the Goffs Million on only 7f attempt; soft ground probably not ideal on seasonal debut at Cork. |

6f winner in Ireland last term; holds weak claims on his two efforts for new stable; opposed unless the betting suggests a resurgence is on the cards. |

Couldn't make the most of Lingfield's golden highway when weakening over 7f on his stable debut (50-1) a fortnight ago; drop back to 6f probably in his favour but others hold more pressing claims. |

9st 7lb |
3yo landed the third win of his career when beating Eclairage by a head at Navan in May (5f, yielding); has been beaten in conditions races twice since and is 7lb higher on return to handicap company; sole previous AW run wasn't his best, but his yard is red-hot so can't discount. |

C&D winner courtesy of success in valuable Ballyhane Stakes last year; ran well here over 6f when fourth in handicap on return (beaten 3l by Keke) before landing handicap back to 5f at Navan next, pulling well clear with the second; 17lb worse off with Keke now and has to put a poor effort behind him at Fairhouse 29 days ago. |

Last year's Ballyhane Stakes winner got off the mark for this season when landing a Navan handicap (5f, yielding) against older rivals off a mark of 91; now rated 101 and this 3yo ran well to be fourth in a listed race over this C&D last September (Alibah third); the return to 6f is fine and should go well. |

7f winner at Gowran at two and a fair fifth in a 7f Listed contest at Fairyhouse, achieving a peak official rating of 90; regressive this term, resulting in a slump to a mark of 79; stable is in flying form; hard to know if he can recapture his best form. |

7f winner at two and fair fifth in a 7f Listed contest at Fairyhouse; this season's form has been uninspiring; perhaps cheekpieces will help his cause; others much preferred, including stablemate Nakamura. |

7f winner at two and fair fifth in Listed contest over C&D; hasn't settled over 7f in both runs this term and has faded; drop back in trip a good move and will have more to offer if they can get him to race on an even keel. |

Won at Ayr (5f, good) last April on second start before creditable sixth in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); just one run since, when mid-division in Listed race at Fairyhouse (6f, yielding) in September, and sold for 34,000gns since; may be best watched on stable debut. |

9st 8lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August, but in poor form on turf and the AW in Britain this year and it's hard to believe he's worth his current mark. |
40/1 |

10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Won twice for Ger Lyons last summer, making all in a 6f handicap at the Curragh last August; well beaten in two runs for Charles Byrnes last autumn and he hasn't fired in three runs for his new connections either; latest York run was slightly more encouraging so he's worth a market check dropping into a Class 4 and returning to 6f. |

Has contested Listed races over this trip at the Curragh and 6f at Fairyhouse since debut fourth behind the useful Kansas (rated 101, second in the Flying Childers) in a decent 5f maiden at Tipperary in July; rated marginally superior to Bad Boy Rizz and Ennoble. |

3yo filly; won on debut at Gowran (7f, good) last September and close third in Listed race over this C&D (yielding) the following month (Howd'yadoit fourth); run may have come too soon when soundly beaten in Curragh Group 3 six days later; 18-1 and no show on seasonal return in Gowran handicap (7f, soft); needs to leave that behind. |
