19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Handicap wins at the Curragh (5f, soft/heavy) and Navan (5f, good) this year; fully effective at 6f but he will need much more than when well beaten in last season's Silver Cup; blinkers make their debut. |

Smart handicap form this season. also a fine third behind Big Gossey in a C&D Listed race on his penultimate start; not one of his better handicap displays on latest. |

9st 9lb |
A six-time winner over 5f (two on turf; 7f win on debut) but yet to score over this distance; ran well over 5f (yld) here last month and again over 5f at Dundalk last time out; on a winnable mark but others appeal more at this trip. |

Record of two seconds and a win in this contest between 2021-2023; no win since Navan in May 2025; has mostly struggled this season, although solid fifth of 20 in Curragh premier handicap six days ago; could figure. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Hasn't won for ages but continues to run well and had some of these behind when second in a Cork Listed race last month (5f, yielding); the Navan run can be dismissed as he was squeezed out at the start. |

10st 0lb |
A long time since he got his head in front but some excellent runs in defeat this season; touched off in 5f Listed heat at Cork last time and nudged up 3lb; however, not sure this stiffer track plays to his strengths. |

Four wins include valuable C&D handicap and only just failed to get up in similar contest last month, finishing strongly; didn't land a blow but by no means disgraced eighth of 21 in very valuable York handicap latest; new headgear combination tried. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Sole win in 14 races came in a maiden but he's been banging on the door in handicaps, including races won by Rosie Frith and last time Moltophino; back up 3lb for last time but he was clear of the third, and has to enter the reckoning. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Won C&D maiden (yielding) in May; three fine runs in defeat in handicaps since and was beaten just 0.75l off 2lb higher at the Curragh (5f, gd-fm) when last seen in July; this is a stronger race but can't be discounted. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Often goes well at this track and won here on soft (goes on anything) in April when only 1lb lower; well beaten on last visit in June but has a fair record when fresh, so hard to rule out. |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes in 2024; first win since came here last month in 5f handicap (first-time blinkers) coming off strong pace to reel in long-time leader late on (Collective Power, Fox In Flight and Valiant Force behind); 5lb higher now but still on an okay mark. |

Won four for Clive Cox, including the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock in 2024, his last victory; yet to hit those heights for this yard and has been soundly beaten on his last three starts; 0-2 on the AW but did run well here behind Valiant Force in February; blinkers replace cheekpieces worn last time. |

Dual C&D winner is now 1lb above last winning turf mark; prominent racer handles any ground; ran a couple of belters over C&D in the summer off higher marks; held lately but has to be of interest in this grade. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time. |

Specialist at this distance, seven-time winner, the latest at Dundalk in May; has been kept busy since then; third at the Curragh on his most recent turf outing, a neck in front of the progressive Prairie Girl |
