8st 10lb |
Winner this year over 1m at Dundalk and 1m2f at Fairyhouse in June (good); good form in defeat over 1m1f at Leopardstown, beaten a neck in a 22-runner contest, no luck in running back at 1m on latest at the Curragh; can't rule out but trip a bit short. |

Winner this year over 1m at Dundalk and 1m2f at Fairyhouse in June; good form in defeat over 1m1f at Leopardstown, beaten a neck in a 22-runner contest; fair run over a longer trip last time, this may be closer to his best distance. |

Winner this year over shorter at Dundalk and Fairyhouse and better again over 1m1f at Leopardstown six days ago when beaten a neck off this mark in 22-runner contest, having had every chance; not at best on only previous attempt at this longer trip so bit to prove. |

A winner of seven races on AW and three on turf; last turf success was in 2022, but this season's overall form provided a fair amount of encouragement; a three-time runner-up at this venue, including in June; had plenty of horses behind him at Leopardstown ten days ago. |

Generally consistent sort gained a second handicap win at Down Royal (7f, soft) two weeks ago off 58; in form but most of best turf form is on softer ground so probably needs rain. |

1st 2 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised. |

Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |

Six-time course winner, most effective at this trip; generally below his best since winning here last September; mild encouragement from his most recent run, but needs to reverse form with Comfort Line, Kitty Bear and Punk Poet; dropping in the ratings, now 9lb below last winning mark. |

Was in the form of his life around this time two seasons ago with back-to-back 6f wins for Michael O'Callaghan; signs of a revival when seventh of 21 at Naas last month; another reasonably encouraging run when fourth at Leopardstown last week. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop and he made it 2-3 for current yard when landing novice amateurs' race at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up another 2lb but remains well treated on his old form, and four of his wins have come over this trip; leading contender. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop; lost his way in Ireland but bounced back to make a winning start for Tony Carroll at Chepstow (1m2f, good to soft; fine on faster) last month; possibly found the run coming too soon when only fifth over 1m at Brighton six days later; probably stays 1m4f and retains handicapping scope on his best form. |
