23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
9st 10lb |
Modest form so far in a trio of maidens and no signs of improvement on handicap debut at Roscommon three weeks ago; dropped 4lb but probably best watched for now. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 94y |
9st 12lb |
A hint of ability on debut last year but was poor in two starts this year; can surely do better now in handicaps; worth a market check. |

Finished in mid-division in a 27-runner Curragh maiden on only start at two; comeback run at Naas nowhere near that level; will be of more interest in handicaps. |

11st 4lb |
2-7 on the Flat; left maiden hurdle form behind when a keeping on 2.25l second of 15 on handicap debut at Sligo (2m2f, good); raised 3lb; debatable whether this sharper test will suit but he's a player. |
9/2 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |

Dual winner and rated 73 on the Flat; has to be of interest off 93 in this sphere after a warm-up on the Flat in March. |

Two-time winner on the Flat; won off 3lb lower at Killarney (1m3f, soft) last October; returns to the level after three runs over hurdles so won't lack for fitness; worth considering. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 11lb |
Won 6f Navan maiden on final start for Noel Meade last October; pleasing start for this yard when fifth at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) last month; dropped 1lb but this trip might stretch him. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Won his final start for Noel Meade in a Navan maiden in October (6f, yielding) under a front-running ride; makes stable debut now and not discounted. |

8th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 180y |
9st 8lb |
Seven race maiden ran to a decent level earlier this season but his form has regressed in recent starts; beaten 12.5l on latest at Down Royal (7f, yielding); the drop back to 6f needs to spark. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 9lb |
Placed over C&D (good) on debut for Gavin Cromwell; won a 1m Cork maiden (soft) on third and final start for that stable last September; opening mark looks fair; market best guide on stable/handicap debut after a break. |
6/1 |

1st 8 (16) |
10th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Nearly came out on top when beaten roughly 1l in a Limerick maiden on debut and nearly reeled in a well-backed favourite at Killarney since; sets the standard on form and ought to go well with more progress likely. |
3/1 |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 40y |
9st 8lb |
A 15,000gns foal; half-brother to three winners inc 1m4f-1m6f winner Trendsetter; dam an unraced half-sister to Cheveley Park winner Prophecy; easy to back when making promising debut in 16-runner Limerick maiden over this trip last month, finishing a clear second to an all-the-way winner; granted normal improvement, should go close if handling softer ground. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Two soft ground wins last term; found 1m inadequate here on seasonal debut; much better when second at Cork, with Apercu back in fourth; could be in the mix. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 (14) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 6lb |
Two soft ground wins last term included 9.5f Clonmel handicap off 84; didn't count back at 1m on recent seasonal return at the Curragh but entitled to come on for that so don't rule out. |
14/1 |

10th 5 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Pulled 12l clear with next-time-out winner when landing a Killarney maiden in July; excuses next time out and landed an extended 1m1f handicap at Clonmel in good style on latest start 204 days ago; up 7lb but progressive in handicaps and should enjoy conditions; leading player. |

Cost $1,200,000 as a yearling; brother to US Grade 1 winner Gina Romantica and half-brother to Grade 1 scorer Gift Box; dam maiden half-sister to UAE 6f Group 1 winner; didn't get home on ground probably softer than ideal in Naas 2yo maiden won by a stablemate in October; somewhat belated seasonal return and ground may not suit. |

Cost $1,200,000 as a yearling; 11th foal brother to Gina Romantica, a three-time US Grade 1 winner on fast ground; half-brother to five winners including fast-ground Grade 1 scorer Gift Box, and Grade 2 Stonetastic, also suited by a quick surface; dam maiden half-sister to UAE 6f Group 1 winner; interesting, but easy surface hardly ideal |

20th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Yet to win but has been placed four times up to 1m; poor at Punchestown last time but can be a player if rebounding. |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 58y |
9st 8lb |
Went close in Curragh maiden on 2yo debut for Ger Lyons but regressive this year until much improved on last month's handicap debut at Killarney, tearing off into clear lead under today's rider and rallying well once head to finish runner-up over 1m; returns to maiden company here and will have to settle better to see this longer trip out. |

2nd 10 (17) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 7lb |
Maiden went close in Curragh maiden on 2yo debut for Ger Lyons but regressive this year, most recently on yard debut when remote third in C&D maiden last month in first-time visor; limited appeal on handicap debut from a wide draw and inexperienced claimer. |
