9st 9lb |
Has won ten of his 30 starts, including four times at this venue at 7f-1m; most recent success came at Cork in October 2024 (1m, yielding) but ran some fine races last season, including when third in this; well behind a couple of these on seasonal return here last month but better expected now with that run under his belt; place chance. |

Ten victories include four here, most notably twice at Group 3 level in 2024; not quite at the same level this year but solid form, most recently seasonal-best when getting up late for second in Group 2 Solonaway Stakes at the Curragh. |

9st 12lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle 4yo who has been running for Norwegian yard this year; won in Norway in May but struggled in handicaps at Meydan early this year and was well beaten in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot in June (third of six in far-side group); others are preferred. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Proved well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, notwithstanding two wins (7f/1m2f); comfortably on top in Ovrevoll handicap (8.5f) in latest start for a Norwegian stable that he has joined this year; however, faces a markedly harder assignment in this field. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 42y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Superbly bred gelding whose form has hit new heights this season; runaway winner of handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day and followed up cosily in Listed race at Sandown (1m2f, good) five weeks ago; thriving and looks the one to beat. |

1st 5 (4) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Produced a very smart handicap performance at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) on Oaks day, registering an RPR of 121 and taking record to 4-8; leading contender provided that form is backed up returned to Listed level. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Has run respectably on soft; hooded on last two starts, with a back-to-form second of six when stepped up to 1m2f for C&D handicap (good) on 2026 reappearance; raised 5lb since and probably not straightforward but that was a promising effort here from out the back (ran on well with too much to do) and he has to be in serious calculations. |

Highly-tried filly with just a Killarney maiden win to her name but only denied by narrowest margin in Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary in August (yielding) and wasn't disgraced when under 5l off winner in Group 1 Matron Stakes over C&D last month; place claims. |

Seventh of 13 behind Fallen Angel in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas; back from long absence to win 1m Killarney maiden in May; ran her best race of the season when a short head second in a Group 3 event over a little shorter than this at Tipperary 13 days ago. |

Seventh of 13 in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas; back from long absence to win 1m Killarney maiden in May; failed to build on that when unplaced in a 1m Listed race at Navan in June; not disgraced in sixth in a 7f Group 2 event at the Curragh; found 6f inadequate at Naas last Sunday; may do better now. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-11 this term for current yard but some solid efforts including latest when strong-finishing third in Naas fillies Listed a week ago over this trip (yielding); this looks a better race so more required. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-10 this term for current yard, appearing a bit one-paced back at today's trip last two times on heavy; looks to have a bit to find. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
One of three for yard; rated 94 and shaped nicely when a 3.25l third of 9 in a listed race at Killarney (1m, good) last month; won on soft ground in France and is preferred by McMonagle so has to be considered for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |

9st 9lb |
Won a Curragh maiden on debut last year and was a fine third in a Tipperary Group 3 next time after a 100-day break; didn't seem to handle heavy ground on final start last year; again below her best on return at Navan; will held by Duckadilly on that running. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 9lb |
Debut 7f winner at the Curragh early last season; fair third in Group 3 event at Tipperary last August, having been badly hampered turning in; probably unsuited by heavy ground when failing to make an impact at Leopardstown on her final start. |
