9st 2lb |
No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring. |

7th 4 (7) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Three-time winner including a rated race last June over C&D (good); promising effort on seasonal return over C&D when 3l fifth to stablemate The Lion In Winter in the Listed Heritage Stakes, half a length behind Tokenomics and just in front of Lord Massusus; rated 100 and improvement is required. |

Consistent in handicaps and conditions races at around 1m/1m1f last season; only once out of the first four in his nine 2024 starts, three wins, including over C&D; has never run in a stakes race and will need to raise his game to score at this level. |

Won his maiden on heavy but handled faster ground when sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; keen and didn't get home (lost shoe) over a mile at Killarney when long odds-on last time and gelded since; bit to prove and draw not great. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Heavy-ground maiden winner who is effective on good but unraced on faster; the Group 3 he contested on reappearance was won by a Group 1 horse and he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) had he been sharper from the stalls; that form is working out well and he wouldn't be exposed just yet; considered. |

9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |
16/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

Won C&D maiden last summer before following up over the same trip in Down Royal handicap; back to that level of form on latest when strong-finishing 1/2l off an all-the-way winner here over 6f in December; back up to career-high mark but return to 7f to suit and respected. |

11st 7lb |
When all his best form on the Flat and over hurdles is on good ground, it's best to put a line through his run on heavy in a French Grade 1 last time (November); he beat little of note when making hay in minor jumps meetings last summer but barely broke sweat in any of those races and his jumping was pinpoint accurate; one to be interested in for a trainer (also runs Glen To Glen) who knows what's required for this; gelded since his last run. |
18/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Flat form stands out in this company and he's looked a natural over hurdles in winning at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter (good ground both times); penalised accordingly but should be hard to beat. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Just one win from ten Flat starts but ran creditably in two valuable races last month; easily justified very skinny odds to make winning hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (good) a week ago and could be very hard to beat here. |

9st 11lb |
Returned from a short break to land Clonmel fillies maiden last month and five days later only worn down late by 0.5l winner Kashel Spring in Punchestown fillies handicap (Presence third); should again be thereabouts but extra 1f may not be in her favour. |
13/2 |

2nd 3 (4) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 58y |
9st 12lb |
Second in a 1m1f Leopardstown handicap in June; failed to back that up in two Curragh runs during the summer; came good in a maiden on yielding to soft at Clonmel last week, scoring readily from an 83-rated rival on level terms; definite chance under a 7lb penalty. |

Best of nine runs was a 1.25l second in a 1m1f Leopardstown handicap off 74 (good); hasn't backed that up in two most recent Curragh runs; back from a break now and would need to improve to win this but can't be ruled out. |

Started the season well when third at Cork and then winning for the first time at Gowran (1m, heavy); 10lb higher now but shaped better than finishing position suggests off this mark at the Curragh latest (7f, good); interesting stepped back up in trip. |
