Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid.

T: Miss Kate McGivern

Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely.

His seven wins include this race in 2024; added a valuable handicap in Bahrain over the winter; bounced back to form after a break when winning a C&D Listed race last month but found Group 2 company too tough at the Curragh last weekend; this is easier despite his hefty weight.

Mostly campaigned (without success) in Listed company since winning off 77 at Chepstow (5f, gd-sft) last August; remains 10lb above that last success but a repeat of her 3l Cork fourth on penultimate would give her a squeak back in handicap company and she'll be suited by a strongly run race.
