Started his career in bumpers; weak form in maidens, hard to fancy from an opening mark that puts him at the top of this handicap. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; drops in trip with cheekpieces now fitted; wants decent ground. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

Recent Down Royal run was a bit more encouraging (not clear run) and cheekpieces now tried. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 10y |

Didn't show much in maidens at 1m-1m2f and similar story on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m); still early days but others make more appeal for now. |

8st 9lb |
Two fair runs over 1m on turf; poor on AW last month; one of two runners for his trainer; plenty to prove on handicap debut. |

12th Jul 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Finished a well beaten fourth on debut at Gowran in May over 1m; similar story at Naas when well behind in third; capable of hitting the frame. |
8/1 |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |

Improvement likely from debut fourth at Gowran; beaten almost 10l in that eight-runner contest in which a longer-priced stablemate finished in front of him. |

9st 2lb |
Recent Gowran effort a small step in the right direction but of limited appeal off this opening mark unless first-time cheekpieces bring serious improvement. |

Shown nothing in three starts on the Flat up to 1m4f; stamina in pedigree but probably best watched. |

10st 0lb |
Half-brother to 1m winner Red Viburnum followed up encouraging Gowran debut run last month by taking similar contest three weeks later, making all in a weaker affair; very interesting into handicap company here off a mark he could well better and extra furlong no problem. |

Modest form in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; new cheekpieces need to have a dramatic effect. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 60y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Third in his only outing for Michael O'Callaghan at Gowran Park (1m, good) a year ago, but nothing in two starts at Lingfield (6f, AW) since returning for this yard in March; makes handicap debut in a first-time visor; probably best watched unless market suggests otherwise; stable also runs Almavillalobas. |

20th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made an encouraging start when third in 1m Gowran maiden last May for Michael O'Callaghan but beat only one for her new handler after ten months off in C&D novice 26 days ago; this Kodiac filly has something to prove now. |
66/1 |

8th 3 (5) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Made some late gains when third of eight at Gowran Park (1m, good; 10-1) last May but she was beaten 9l on that debut run; now switches to sprinting for new yard and she needs plenty of progress after 308 days off. |
25/1 |
