15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose; Listed winner last year for Aidan O'Brien; below par in first three runs for this yard but back to form with a maiden hurdle win at Kilbeggan last month and another solid run in a Perth novice hurdle on latest; top rated and respected back on the Flat with in form claimer taking off 7lb. |

11st 5lb |
Smart on Flat for Aidan O'Brien last year (won Lingfield Derby Trial) and got act together over hurdles at third attempt, keeping on well to win Kilbeggan maiden (2m, good) last month; that form was recently given a good boost by the third and this fellow is open to more improvement over jumps. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a 1m2f Leopardstown maiden and short-headed in 11.6f Lingfield Derby Trial before a three-month absence; returned with further improved efforts when close up in the Great Voltigeur at York (1m4f, good to firm) and the St Leger at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) and he threatened to win in both those races; he therefore remains a very classy prospect but he's not been shaping as if this extra distance is what he needs. |

13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Three of Aidan O'Brien's last four St Leger winners were by Galileo and this colt is from the great sire's final crop; unraced on softer than good; won a 1m2f Leopardstown maiden and short-headed in 11.6f Lingfield Derby Trial; off for more than three months before he upstaged stablemate Lambourn in the 1m4f Great Voltigeur at York, taking over briefly more than 1f out, and although he finished fourth he was pipped for second only on the line by Carmers; there's more for him to prove regarding stamina today compared to all of his rivals, but O'Brien made clear that the York race was needed; after just three races, he still looks an exciting prospect. |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
400,000gns purchase as a foal, from the last crop of Galileo; knuckled down to win a Leopardstown maiden (1m2f, good) in April in clearcut style; ran odds-on stablemate to a short head in Listed Derby Trial at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) in May, which augured well (despite subsequent performances of the winner) but he's been off since; faced with three more stablemates, including dual Derby winner, it will be fascinating to see his market strength. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Smart 3yo who was eighth in last year's Derby; began this campaign with pretty good fourth in Newmarket handicap (1m4f, good to firm) in May, but seems badly to have lost his way since (three runs); revival needed. |
14/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; it's been 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but two disappointing shows at Ascot have followed; blinkered latest; stays at least 1m5f (unraced over this far) and he's 6lb lower than at Newmarket, but some caution is advised at present. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Contested three Group races last summer; 1m4f handicaps (good to firm) this season, registering his highest rating when fourth of eight at Newmarket in May but backpedalling from over 3f out when just 9-1 at Royal Ascot; needs to bounce back in first-time headgear but his sights are lowered. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
1m4f novice winner on the AW; hard to assess right now as he's been highly tried of late but hasn't shown much; others look safer. |

12th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Off since early June when tailed off in the Italian Derby; progressive profile prior to that, including a fourth in the Lingfield Derby Trial; these terms aren't favourable but he's a 3yo who could yet have more to offer. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
He's edged down the weights for his new yard this season and has been placed off this mark on his last two starts, finishing third at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) then beaten just a neck at Hamilton (1m5f, good); back up in grade this afternoon but he might not be far away. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (5) |
11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
A fairly useful 1m4f winner for Ralph Beckett in 2025; has steadily found his form for his current yard this season, posting a good third of eight in 1m2f handicap at Doncaster eight days ago; firmly in the picture stepping back up in trip. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat and ran in last year's Derby; hasn't won a race since but he ran okay to be second on his hurdle debut at Worcester (2m, good) and going up in trip here could suit. |
2/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Useful on the Flat at his best; has regressed and become inconsistent in this sphere but seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when third at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm; RPR 79) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces for this hurdling debut; can feature if all goes to plan. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (3) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him. |
