23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful form at 7m/1m last season, fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, third in the Jersey Stakes, odds-on for 7f Naas win; kept on for third in 7f Group 2 in Saudi Arabia in February; ran as well as could have been expected when fifth of eight behind the spectacular Ka Ying Rising at Sha Tin last month; trip possibly a little sharp for him. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Cork maiden winner last year and was gaining first win since when landing odds in minor Naas conditions event in July; highly tried at times, including smart form in both 2000 Guineas Trial over C&D and when beaten 5.5l in Irish 2000 Guineas; has been withdrawn due to soft ground before so ground unlikely to suit here. |

Cork maiden winner over 6f last year; some fine runs in defeat in stronger company since, notably in Leopardstown 2000 Guineas Trial and Irish 2000 Guineas; below that form in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot last time and has to rebound. |

9st 5lb |
Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

Marvelous veteran showed he retained all his ability when winning for the eleventh time in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) a month ago; however, has come up short in the last three renewals of this race and 5f probably sharp enough for him these days. |

Splendid veteran with eight Curragh wins to his name; thoroughly deserved his career highlight when beating a subsequent Classic winner in this race last year; has also produced many good displays in defeat here; showed plenty of zest with Dundalk second in December; eased when beaten on reappearance in the Irish Lincoln. |

9st 5lb |
Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Hampered when fifth to Spycatcher in this race last year; gained ample compensation in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good; gamely) two months later; didn't give his running in two Group 1s in the autumn but this is easier and he has gone well when fresh in the past; high on the list. |

Six wins from just 16 attempts and he landed the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good) in May; however, he was only eighth in this race 12 months ago and finished last in the Sprint Cup at Haydock last month; unlikely to be good enough. |

Group 1-winning juvenile over C&D; returned from aborted stud career last year and won a 5f Listed race at Naas (good) and a C&D Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before failing to run to expectations at the Breeders' Cup; well below best on soft on seasonal debut at Cork; better over 5f at Naas, but needs more to make an impact here. |

Top class 2yo returned from aborted stud career last year and won a C&D Listed race (good) and a Curragh Group 3 (6f, good); fine third in the Group 1 Flying Five before a below-par run at the Breeders' Cup; soft ground not ideal for seasonal reappearance and better expected now; chance. |

Late-maturing type won the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good) in 2024; did not appear last year until September and failed to recapture his best form in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite at Doncaster on last of them; reversed that form (and had James's Delight behind) when fourth in a 6f Listed race at the same venue eight weeks ago. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Arrives late on the scene and had a stellar 2024, his three wins including this race (soft) and the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (good); wasn't seen last year until September and didn't fully fire in three runs, only fifth behind Spycatcher when favourite over C&D on last of them; dangerous if rebounding but has to prove he retains all his ability. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 4lb |
Made the leap from top handicaps to Listed/Group races last season, winning the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock (6f, good) by a head from Kind Of Blue, before finishing fifth to that rival in this event; 11 months off when an encouraging third of 11 in Group 3 at Newbury last month, getting going too late on his first attempt at 5f; that run suggests he retains all his ability and he's a serious candidate four weeks on. |

3yo filly won on debut over C&D on her only start last season (Bounty second); solid effort on return to action in a 6f rated race at Naas when still looking green; the drop to 5f didn't suit when seventh in a Tipperary listed heat latest; the step back up to 6f is a plus and she could surprise a few with a big run. |

Looked smart when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) on final juvenile start; beat only one rival in his first two races last term; produced massive shock (200-1) when beating the favourite Lazaat in 6f Group 1 at Ascot last October (good); wind-surgery evidently the key to that success; little mileage on the clock, fascinating prospect for this season. |

All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip. |

Career-best when winning C&D Listed Amethyst Stakes in May (good), coming from well off pace; similar tactics employed in Group Desmond Stakes over C&D last month but left with too much to do when strong-finishing 1l third to front-running Johan; likely stronger pace here should suit but this looks a deeper race. |
