| 5th 4 | 9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 157y | 11st 12lb | A E90,000 Goffs Arkle purchase as a 3yo; tenth foal; half-brother by Kapgarde to six winners, notably Gold Tweet, winner of 11 races over jumps in France; dam 1m2f winner. | 14/1 |
| 3 | 6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y | 11st 8lb | 1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination. | 9/2 |
