Progressive colt is still lightly raced with just seven starts; improved form this year, winning twice at the Curragh, notably a demolition job over this trip in the Listed Orby Stakes; not as good over 1m2f in the Group 3 International Stakes next time; this is his first run since but he goes well fresh and has run well at this track so looks the one to beat even carrying a 3lb penalty. |

This progressive Kingman colt is on a hat-trick after successive Listed wins at Cork (10.5f, yielding) on final run of last term and at this venue (1m4f, good) on seasonal return; won that latest race by 6l in seriously impressive fashion (eased down) and should be fine dropped back in trip; top rated here and leading claims. |

9st 11lb |
Seven wins on the Flat, also a winning hurdler; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for a third time last month; has chased home the smart Purview on two occasions at this venue this season; got closer over 1m2f three weeks ago, than in a 1m4f event in May. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner on the Flat; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for the third year running on latest; won lesser renewal of this race last season (good) but was no match for Purview in 1m4f Listed heat here on penultimate; hard to see him turning that around, but generally reliable and place chance. |

Won this race in 2023 and 2024; good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins in Listed/Group 3 contests at the Curragh over 1m4f/1m2f on good; hasn't hit top stride yet this season but is top-rated here; he would prefer decent ground but has form on soft. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again. |

3rd 3 (7) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up. |

Beat Delacroix in last year's Futurity at Doncaster; has failed to make a major impact this season, including behind Delacroix in the Eclipse; did not have much luck in running before staying on late in the Saratoga Derby six weeks ago; up against it. |

9st 6lb |
Very solid performer at this sort of level, decisively landing the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown in July; good second to the subsequent St Leger runner-up in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, before a below-par run at York; sets a good standard and sure to be hard to beat. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 177y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
3yo who has got better with each run this season and impressed in the Group 3 Meld at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last month before finishing second in the Group 3 Gordon at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) under a 3lb penalty (same today); runner-up in a Group 2 on yielding to soft last September; this versatile sort could be in the mix back down in trip. |

Ran in two Group 2s as 2yo and progressive at Listed/Group 3 levels this season, winning well at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) two weeks ago when he reverted to front-running; probably stayed 1m2f on penultimate start, without shouting that he's a 1m4f horse. |

Showed improved form earlier this year, winning a Gowran handicap in good style and followed up in a Listed race over 9.5f at the same track; solid in defeat since including against the classy Purview here last time; should run well. |

Smart 2yo was a close fourth to Pierre Bonnard in a 1m2f Group 1; however, he has shown his best form over shorter this term, winning a Navan Listed race over 1m1f before a better effort when taking the Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D; looks the pick of his yard's trio so respected. |

Goodwood maiden winner on debut last August (7f, good to soft); creditable run in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; moderate efforts first two runs this term; back on song when winning a 1m1f Listed race at Navan; doubts raised by two subsequent runs; 1 3/4l behind Cowardofthecounty in the 1m1f Meld Stakes here. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Highly progressive in handicaps last season (good/soft), winning the Balmoral at Ascot (1m) on final start; he's failed to fire in an Irish Group 3 and a 1m2f handicap here on his two outings this term but he's not written off for his top yard. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Progressive in handicaps last season, winning the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, good) on final start; may still have untapped potential but he ran poorly in Irish Group 3 on reappearance and is now fitted with a tongue-strap. |
