1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 40y |
9st 5lb |
Won back-to-back races at Dundalk last autumn (both 10.5f); also won a 1m handicap here last season (good) off 14lb lower; off since November and stamina to prove for this trip, so probably best watched. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 5lb |
Hit the crossbar when making her handicap debut on return before Gowran win in May and back to form over this C&D more recently; promoted to second after interference on her penultimate start before career best success latest and should remain competitive despite 6lb rise. |
4/1 |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Modest form in maidens last term but confirmed promise of a big run on return when winning over 1m at Gowran in May and bounced back from some lesser efforts when runner-up (promoted from third) over C&D last month; form knocked since but still lightly-raced and first-time cheekpieces may help. |

Ran well when a 5.5l third over C&D (good) on handicap debut last May and 9lb lower now; off since 10l defeat at Dundalk in January; a repeat of that C&D run last season would give him a squeak. |

Got it together since dropped to this trip on the AW this year, winning a couple of 0-55s on Polytrack, latterly off 5lb lower in first-time blinkers; returns to turf 7lb higher than when last seen on it and will need a career-best effort to take this. |

Has a patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including a comfortable success at Lingfield (6f; blinkers added) last Thursday; has a penalty but he was as good as ever last time and he's still unexposed at this trip; interesting contender. |
