16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has form here and deserved his maiden win at Roscommon (2m4f, good to yielding), beating 14 rivals; the hood is working well and this 4yo comes into handicaps with a progressive profile. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 59y |

Runner-up in maidens at Perth (2m4f) and Downpatrick (2m2f) before bumping into a useful Mullins prospect at Kilbeggan; in the mix. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 13lb |
Steadily improving 4yo finished a clear second over 2m4f at Perth (good) early this month and 11 days later again clear of the remainder when beaten 2l by an odds-on shot at Downpatrick (2m2f, good), not fluent at last and tending to hang left but keeping on well in first-time hood; still a work in progress but major player. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Ten-race maiden over hurdles but some good efforts in defeat last year in maidens, most notably when second at Roscommon in August; returned from break at Bellewstown 27 days ago, pulled up before last; needs improvement on chase debut up in trip, but not out of it on pick of form. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |

Seven-race maiden but some good runs in defeat; back-to-back runner-up finishes in maiden hurdles at Roscommon and Ballinrobe last August on better ground; way below that at Downpatrick when last seen in September. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 0lb |
Six-race maiden but some decent runs in defeat, including back-to-back runner-up finishes on last two starts; best run was at Roscommon when a lot went wrong (interference, mistake, hung), and he was still a 1.25l second; this is the longest trip he has tackled under rules. |

23rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
11st 7lb |
Modest Flat performer but encouraging signs in two runs in maiden hurdles, hitting the frame with a 9l third at Roscommon in August before finishing a close second at Killarney earlier this month; shaped like she would relish a step back up in trip and ought to go well. |
15/2 |

Maiden went closest to scoring when second over 1m6f at Navan in October 2023; only beaten 9l on return after a 600 day absence at Down Royal so should build on that. |

Good second behind prolific bumper performer Seo Linn on debut at Ballinrobe in August; stayed on well to finish fourth on hurdles debut at Roscommon; similar form back down in trip when 14l fifth behind El Cairos 56 days ago; step up in trip will suit and definite claims. |

Second to a smart one in her first bumper before slightly lesser show at Galway; best work at the finish when fourth of 15 on hurdle debut at Roscommon in August (20.5f, good to yielding); this trip could be sharp. |

Stays further than this; not beaten far in fourth at Fairyhouse in November, absent since but not without a chance; seems to be ground-versatile, although her Wexford win was gained on good going. |
