Cheekpieces fitted in last two races; second to subsequent Derby winner Christmas Day in Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) in April and again finished close up in Group 3 Derby Trial over same C&D (good) before easy Listed win from the front there (1m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; holds leading form claims. |

Second to the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at Killarney; best display at two when second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; this year's course form involves links to Derby candidates; stuck to his task to take second when Pierre Bonnard flopped in the Ballysax; pick of these on his close third behind James J Braddock and Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial. |

Chased home the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at the Curragh; won a maiden at Tipperary before second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; made the running for Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud before fading; same role in the Ballysax here four weeks ago; proved himself a smart type in his own right, sticking to his task as Pierre Bonnard flopped. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut. |

Made a winning debut in a 7f maiden at the Curragh last June; no match for Godolphin's Maho Bay in a novice event at Newmarket in April (winner a beaten favourite in the Lingfield Derby Trial on next start); looked in need of further when failing to make an impact in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes won by stablemate Causeway. |

9st 11lb |
Cork maiden winner in May (1m2f, soft); beaten off 78 in handicap on her previous start (also at Cork) over 1m4f (gd-yld) and is 5lb higher now; remote third in 1m4f (soft) Listed race at Leopardstown on latest; drop back in trip a plus and probably capable of better. |

Rated 80 after four starts; okay form in maidens at 1m-10.5f; narrowly denied on handicap debut upped to 1m4f here last month; drop back to this trip a plus on the evidence of that effort; big player. |

Landed a Dundalk maiden early in the year; has found life a little tougher in handicaps since and was out of her depth in Listed company last time; others preferred here. |

Winner of a middle-distance Dundalk conditions race in February; subsequent form in turf handicaps does not inspire confidence at this level. |

Sole 3yo is second runner for yard with good record in this race; got the better of better-fancied stablemate in AW rated race in February; fair run against male rivals when beaten 5l in strong 3yo handicap at Leopardstown, but she's now 3lb higher as she's out of the handicap; cheekpieces. |
