9st 8lb |
Course specialist won this in 2023 and third in last two renewals; lacked a prep outing before his run here on Tuesday where he backpedalled tamely; draw has been kind for one with his run-style, but he's pushing on and looks opposable. |

Completed a four-timer when winning a 7f handicap here in 2022; won the 7f Ahonoora Handicap at the 2023 festival; made it three from six at this venue (also placed three times) when winning this event last year; third in the Ahonoora later that week; absent since last September; stiff task against that background, despite his liking for the track. |

Good record over 6f on straight tracks and on easy ground; was second in C&D nursery at two, but there will probably be stronger finishers up the hill; jockey is one to watch. |

Three wins include twice over C&D last October; promising C&D comeback second in March, stiffer task in Listed company last time; one to consider back in handicap company, especially given his record here. |

Landed the Victoria Cup over C&D in 2022 and hasn't had the smoothest of passages in two attempts in this contest (finished 11th that year and tenth in 2023); losing run is mounting up, however, and he doesn't look particularly solid on his form for current stable. |

Unexposed and progressive; won well at the Curragh on Derby weekend and fine second to Orandi when favourite here on Tuesday; had a decent run through then, and no real excuses; first time to drop back to 7f, and it's not sure to suit him as well as a mile. |

Won a Gowran maiden (1m, good) for Dermot Weld last May; met trouble in running on stable/seasonal debut in a Limerick race won by Monvoe; improved from that when beating Booyea in a 1m premier handicap at the Curragh a month ago; up 9lb, might struggle to confirm form with Booyea (up 5lb). |

Won on debut at Dundalk in 2024; ran well in top handicaps last season, including third in Victoria Cup at Ascot and second in Ahonoora over 7f at this venue; has taken a while to hit form this season; opened his turf account last month at the 15th attempt; up 7lb for that 7f Cork success. |

Smart turf form at up to 7f in Bahrain for George Scott early last year; some good runs this year, second to Sir Les Patterson on the AW (6f) in February and close fourth at Chester in May (7.5f, good); no luck in running in the Habitat here (won by Headmaster), again behind that rival at Cork. |

Ended 2025 with a pair of heavy-ground wins at Doncaster (7f); useful form in defeat this year, in the frame in competitive York handicaps (good ground) on consecutive days last month; another good run when fifth of 17 on quick going at the same venue last time; ground-versatile, trip a worry. |

Won 2025 Irish Cambridgeshire for Dermot Weld, beating today's rival Genuine Article by a short head; maintained his good record in races over 1m when an emphatic winner from stablemate Far Form Dandy at Naas on seasonal/stable debut; mid-division in the Royal Hunt Cup, seventh of 20 in his group, not a bad effort. |

Acts on soft ground; Irish 4yo who landed a major handicap at the Curragh during his time with Dermot Weld; won well at Naas (good) on stable/seasonal debut, taking form figures over 1m to 3111 and strike-rate to 3-6; interesting challenger with further improvement very plausible. |

Won the Irish Lincoln last season; attempted to bring off the double at Doncaster and produced a fine effort to finish third of 22 behind Godwinson; has failed to prosper since third to Dunum in this last year; however, he is 8lb lower now and should be at peak fitness after a Curragh prep-run in a race dominated by Pierre Royal and Booyea. |
