5th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y |
9st 5lb |
Runner-up to Item in the Dante back in May and he's the top rated of these; however, has been confined to pacemaking duties in the meantime and difficult to gauge where he is right now. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Front-running second in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good) in May but well beaten in Group 1s on his four starts since, having again made most of the running on first three occasions; a slow start scuppered pacemaking duties on latest but they may again be intended for him today. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |

1st 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Galloped on relentlessly to win the Derby at Epsom, where nearly all the others sank without trace in the gruelling conditions, and ran just as well when he was again ridden prominently in Irish Derby at the Curragh (good ground) and finished second, a neck in front of Pierre Bonnard; not quite at this best in the Great Voltigeur at York (good) but renewed his effort to be about 4l third and gave runner-up Pierre Bonnard 5lb; one of the top two on 1m4f form and leaves a strong impression that he has the required stamina. |

3rd 1 (4) |
19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Galloped on relentlessly to win the Derby from Maltese Cross at Epsom, where nearly all the others sank without trace in the gruelling conditions, and ran just as well when he was again ridden prominently to finish second in the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good; unraced on firmer) three weeks later, a neck in front of Pierre Bonnard; both of those rivals reoppose and he's now 5lb worse off with Pierre Bonnard, but won't go down without a fight. |

2nd 4 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Maiden success was on heavy going and Group 3 Leopardstown win last October was on good-to-yielding; same going description when landing Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown, with James J Braddock back in fifth; outpaced on better ground when third in the Dante, 1 3/4l behind runner-up Action; rose to the occasion when prominently ridden in the Derby, with soft ground evidently in his favour; different conditions now, but his established stamina is a significant positive. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |

Last of eight on debut at Leopardstown; big price when around 8l fourth of nine over C&D at the festival; likely to find a few too good. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 0f 73y |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Has been in top yards in Ireland and Britain; gelded since a poor 1m handicap run at York on his final outing for Andrew Balding. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
New Bay colt who has shown fair form across his three starts (trained first two by Jessica Harrington); went from the front and faded late as if his recent yard debut after nine months off was just needed; blinkers are added for handicap debut. |
15/2 |

5th 11 (13) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

New Bay colt; shaped with promise on both runs for Jessica Harrington last autumn, still looking green when fourth of 13 in 7f Listowel maiden on latter occasion; more to come for his new yard. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 1lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a C&D handicap on yielding ground in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form; something amiss here in June when eased after hanging repeatedly. |

10th 2 (10) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |
9st 10lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a 1m4f (yielding) handicap here on latest start in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form, so the drop back in distance here may not be ideal; raised 6lb and quicker ground a worry too in this deeper race. |

Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 197y Class 1 |
8st 10lb |
0-3 on Flat for Emmet Mullins last year and minor honours this spring in his three French hurdles races; back with Mullins for a five-runner maiden at Ffos Las (1m4f, good) 15 days ago, which he won by 6l in a first-time tongue-tie; looked a useful prospect and as if sure to stay beyond 1m4f, but this race (even this below-par renewal) is a very different proposition. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (3) |
27th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Three Flat runs for Emmet Mullins last year, easily the best when third in a 1m1f maiden at Tipperary (good to yielding) where he was only just behind this year's Queen's Vase winner Limestone; has since had three races over hurdles in France, performing respectably; his Irish stable's only runner on the card and he's of clear interest; the tongue-tie is new. |
6/4 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

80,000euros yearling; first foal; dam placed 11.5f in France, closely related to French 1m4f Listed winner Becqu Adoree; didn't count on Galway debut early this month (well behind third-placed Christmas Day); can only be watched. |

Twice runner-up in nurseries on AW last autumn; reappeared for back-to-back wins, at Limerick and when running away late over the same trip at Leopardstown; second over an extra furlong at the same venue on next start; back in the winning groove at Limerick; up 5lb and a senior rider replaces a 7lb claimer. |
