Curragh specialist, bringing tally of course wins to ten with Listed victories at 7f and 6f this year; also finished a fine second to Power Blue in a 7f Group 2 event and similar RPR when second in last week's Group 3 Renaissance Stakes (6f, heavy); has to concede weight but greatly respected. |

Magnificent course specialist; has brought his tally of course wins to ten with Listed victories at 7f and 6f this year; also finished a fine second to Power Blue in a 7f Group 2 event; should be back in his comfort zone now after running in the Flying Five. |

No success since landing last year's Madrid Handicap at Naas (7f, soft); started this season with a second placing behind Big Gossey on soft in the Gladness in March; in rear in 7f Group 2 won by Power Blue here in July; down in trip after a moderate 1m run at Killarney. |

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. |

9st 3lb |
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. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Good 7f performer for a long while; has shown career-best form in his 1m attempts this season, coming off a solid pace to register a 50-1 success in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot (good to firm) then running creditably in the Sussex Stakes and Prix du Moulin; in the mix, especially if getting another well-run race. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
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. |

Given a fine ride in front when a 33-1 Listed winner at Naas (7f, good) in May; hasn't run to same level in three starts since, not discredited in Group 3 at Cork but folded quite tamely under similar tactics in Group 3 at Doncaster on latest; needs to be at her best to play a major role. |

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. |

Her five wins include a Group 3 at Tipperary over 7.5f last year; good early-season form when second in Group 3 here on testing ground but form over the summer well below her best; bit to prove now, but not one to rule out with ground to suit. |

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. |

Eight wins, including three in stakes races; has been regressive this year; down from an official rating of 107 in March to 88; duly took advantage of his reduced mark at Galway this week; carries 7lb penalty; however, not overburdened, and the win may have restored his confidence. |

Never figured at Leopardstown in a handicap he won 12 months earlier; that was underwhelming, as was his previous run here when slowly away, but too well handicapped to put a line through him. |

Out in box 21 but was drawn in 16 when winning this 12 months ago off 10lb higher; comes with risks, given that he was again slowly away last time at the Curragh, but has a similar chance to Benevento on their previous 1-2 at Gowran; has to be of interest. |

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. |
