Irish Cesarewitch 2026 Result

Sunday 27 September 2026 · Curragh · By Matthew Glazier · Last updated

The 2026 Irish Cesarewitch is always a highly competitive race, with the runners and riders battling it out over two miles and a furlong. A big field will battle it out and it’s a strong test of stamina, with the going set to be testing on Sunday 27 September. Aeronautic is a five-year-old who has produced some solid efforts despite a failure to win.

Tim Toe has racked up a couple of successes, with the horse having also hit the frame in the other two efforts. We think Henry de Bromhead’s charge could be a prominent performer here, with Cannes an exciting three-year-old who has enjoyed a litter of displays. Sky Captain has been runner-up on two occasions and could also be handy.

Irish Cesarewitch Betting Tips

Tim Toe is a five-year-old with bags of quality, with the latest effort being third in a field of twenty at Royal Ascot. In the Ascot Stakes over two miles and four furlongs, the runner wasn’t able to keep with the first two home but the charge has solid stamina. It came after a late May success at Listowel and we’re expecting the Henry de Bromhead-trained charge to go well here.

Aeronautic has got four wins under the belt this term, with Joseph O’Brien training a runner who was third from thirteen at Goodwood last time out. That was in a handicap over a mile and six furlongs, with that coming after a fourth-placed effort in a field of sixteen at Royal Ascot. The display in the Copper Horse Stakes was more than solid.

Cannes is one of the younger horses lining up, with Joseph O’Brien having several live chances in the race. The three-year-old could be well weighted for this encounter, with the runner last seen finishing seventh in a field of twenty-one at Leopardstown. Perhaps the horse will benefit from a longer trip here.

Sky Captain began the season with a second-placed finish and the horse was also runner-up at Listowel before descending on The Curragh to step up in class. Finishing sixth in September came in a competitive handicap race, with the 8/1 shot travelling well over a mile and two furlongs. The Reverend may also return to the winners’ enclosure after two successes at the tail end of last season.
