Course legend has won 10 of his 12 races at this track and amassed 575,000GBP in prizemoney; has won twice at Listed level this season and second in a Group 2; however, wasn't himself when eased and well beaten last time; has run well in defeat in this race for the last two years but the trip stretches him and is vulnerable again. |

Course specialist made it ten wins here with a Listed race success over this trip in June; also won the Gladness Stakes over 7f here in March; second to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave in the Greenlands in May, with James Delight in third; holding his form admirably on the evidence of Group 2 second over 7f here three weeks ago. |

Not won since his Madrid Handicap success 18 months ago at Naas (7f, soft) but has run some fine races, most notably when second to Diego Velazquez on good at the Curragh last year and filled the same spot behind Big Gossey on soft in the Gladness in March; well below form last time on firm; highest-rated in the field but may need ground to soften up before he's at his best. |

Won his maiden over 6f here in 2024 (yielding to soft) and bagged the Madrid handicap at Naas last season (7f, soft to heavy); best run since was when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in this race last year (good to yielding); beaten 1.5l behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on return (soft to heavy); not at his best at Leopardstown last time; appears to give his best on softer ground. |

Sole win came in Madrid Handicap at Naas (7f, soft) last year; best subsequent run came when beaten a neck by Diego Velazquez in Group 2 at the Curragh over same trip; started this year positively when 1.5l second to Big Gossey in Listed Gladness 75 days ago, deserving extra credit for where he came from; at his best on soft and big run expected. |

Has improved on his 2yo efforts this term, winning a conditions race at Gowran (7f, soft; unraced on firmer than good) in between thirds in Listed races at the Curragh; solid chance on the figures and he's Ryan Moore's pick; wears blinkers for the first time. |

Didn't show much in first two starts but made it third time lucky when winning a median sires series race at Naas (6f, good); reappeared with a decent third here behind the evergreen Big Gossey in the Gladness Stakes (7f, sft-hvy); took the scalp of Greek Mythology at Gowran (7f, soft) last time but that rival lacked a recent run; top rated but Moore prefers Causeway. |

Prior to this year all his best form was at 7f on ground good or slower, and yet he popped up at 50-1 in a fast-ground Queen Anne and proved that was no flash in the pan with his close fourth to Bow Echo in the Sussex Stakes (again 1m on good to firm), in which he was nearest at the finish having been held up out the back; hard to knock. |

Came off the good pace set by Opera Ballo when 50-1 winner of the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last time, completing a quickfire June double that was initiated over 7f at Epsom; still unexposed as a miler and has frame possibilities provided the latest piece of form is backed up. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |

Acts particularly well on ground softer than good; very useful 7f performer who prevailed narrowly at Epsom ten days ago for a second success in the Group 3 that was formerly the John of Gaunt Stakes and run at Haydock; ran creditably over 1m in 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but this is a stiffer test at the trip and a stiffer assignment to boot. |

One of two for yard; shock winner of a 7f Listed race at Naas (good) on penultimate but finished last of seven upped to Group 3 company at Leopardstown on latest in June (7f, soft); freshened up since, rain not a worry and not dismissed. |

9st 6lb |
Limerick maiden winner on soft; followed a poor run over 6f at Cork with a career-best at Naas (7f, gd) 25 days ago when making all in Listed race; needs to build on that and not guaranteed to do so; likely to go forward. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
2-2 in truncated 2yo campaign, including 6f Group 3; 0-3 this year but appeared suited by the drop back to 6f when neck second to Song Of The Clyde in Listed race at Newbury (good) last month, faring best of those who raced in the centre group; improvement needed but he's Ryan Moore's mount of the Ballydoyle three and could still have more to offer; not ruled out. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Has rather compromised his chance by taking a good hold in 7f events this term, latest at Newbury (Group 3) when still running creditably in a hood that is now removed; skipped the Guineas option and heads down the Commonwealth Cup route instead; 2-2 previously, both wins over 6f in May 2025, including Curragh Group 3; retains potential. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 (4) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Rare runner in the Greenham for his powerful connections, who are still working out whether the highly regarded colt is a Guineas prospect or needs a return to 6f over which he was 2-2 as a 2yo (both on good ground); only sixth when favourite for Curragh Listed race (7f, soft to heavy; took a good hold) on return from ten-month absence but retains potential and could well take a big step forward, as well as settle better, in first-time hood with the outing under his belt; adds great interest to this field. |

One of four for yard; two wins last year included this race, which was run at Tipperary; went close in a Listed heat at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) in April but has beat just one rival home on her last two starts, most recently in a Listed over C&D on good; forecast rain a plus and no surprise were she to bounce back. |

Group 3 winner at Tipperary (7.5f, yielding) at the end of last summer; matched that form when second in 1m Group 3 at the Curragh in April (soft/heavy); below-par on her two most recent starts, including in a Curragh Group 2 event in which Carolina Jetstrean was second; might prefer an ease. |

Impressive maiden winner at the Curragh in 2024; promising third in Greenham Stakes last year but finished down the field in Jersey Stakes; disappointed when last of ten in Gladness on return 25 days ago; needs to come on plenty for that but still lightly-raced and handles soft ground. |

Cost 500,000euros as a yearling and created a favourable impression with a convincing win in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) on sole 2yo outing; good third in Group 3 Greenham at Newbury (7f, good; raced freely, kept on) on reappearance; lacks experience but has stacks of potential. |
