12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Debut maiden winner; lost out by only a short head to Christmas Day in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes here in October on his fourth start; built on that when 2l second to Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud; does not need to improve much to win a Pattern race; solid chance here. |

9st 5lb |
Won easily on debut at Killarney (1m, soft); has come up short in Group 2s the last twice at the Curragh (7f, good) and here (1m, gd-yld); drops in grade and steps up in trip; rating of 99 may flatter him but could bounce back if ground is soft. |

Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam is out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; made fine impression on Killarney debut, quickening well off a steady pace in 1m auction event on soft ground, didn't progress as much as expected in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh, keen enough and outpaced over shorter trip when beaten 7l on good; return to 1m and softer ground could see improvement. |

Beat the debuting Michael's Well in C&D maiden (yielding) in October and second over 5f on testing ground at Cork on return, having led both times. |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark on final start last year when winning a Naas maiden over this trip, narrowly beating Michael's Well; the cheekpieces worn then are left off and has been gelded since; has early speed and could cope with this trip but looks the stable second-string. |

Best of two maiden runs was finishing 6l behind subsequent Group 3 winner Mission Central at the Curragh (6f, good); outclassed in a Group 2 back at that track in August (7f, good); slowly away and always behind in the Goffs Million most recently (7f, soft); cheeckpieces go on now and he could get involved back at this level. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Group 1 entry at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f; by Wootton Bassett out of unplaced sister to 1m4f/1m6f Group 1 winner Wonderful Tonight; short-headed at Newmarket before making all when odds-in in both a Galway maiden (7f, yielding) last July and five-runner Group 2 at the Curragh (7f, good) last August; both wins came with authority and the pedigree is encouraging for 1m2f; his enthusiasm for getting on with it last year raises more of a question but the 1m2f French Derby has been mentioned by his trainer as an objective. |

9st 5lb |
Wootton Bassett colt cost 400,000euros as a yearling; narrowly denied in decent Newmarket maiden (winner finished third in Group 3 Acomb Stakes during the week) on last month's debut before landing long odds later in month over this trip at Galway, making all; type to keep improving and Ballydoyle's sole runner sets the standard here. |

Wootton Bassett colt cost 400,000euros as a yearling; was only narrowly denied in a decent Newmarket maiden (7f, gd-fm) on debut; likely to improve for that initial experience and he's the one to beat. |

Won maiden here on debut (7f, good); ran with real credit in Group 2s here on his next two starts over 7f (good) and 1m (good); stayed on well for fourth on seasonal return in Leopardstown Group 3 (behind Redemption Road, ahead of Iron Lily); return to 1m a plus and he's a leading contender. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |
9st 5lb |
Long-priced Curragh maiden winner on debut last August; subsequently form ties in with smart Ballydoyle colts Constitution River and Hawk Mountain; Beresford Stakes second was advertised by Hawk Mountain in winning the William Hill Futurity; tongue-tie on now. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Both starts over 7f at this track; belied market weakness to make a striking winning debut in August and ran a cracker when second in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes later that month; he was a bit keen then so will have to relax up to this trip but has the form to win if doing so. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Made the frame in three races at this venue last season, all won by Ballydoyle-trained colts; most meaningful form when third of five in a 7f Group 2 won by Constitution River; odds-on for a comfortable maiden win at Gowran on reappearance; massive rise in class for his first attempt at this trip. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Ran to a very useful level in three starts last season on varying ground from 6f-7f; beaten 1l on debut behind New Zealand at the Curragh; improved to be beaten 5.5l into third in Group 2 by the smart Constitution River; similar level when second to Trojan Warrior dropped in trip 183 days ago, went with enthusiasm and traded short in-running; handles soft and should be tough to beat on return for yard in form. |

9st 7lb |
Kingman colt, 100,000euros foal, 220,000 yearling, half-brother to 6f/7f AW 2yo winner Port Augusta (RPR 94); dam 7f AW/8.4f turf Listed winner (104); very useful level of form on both starts over the summer in 7f Curragh contests on good ground, close fourth behind a trio of Ballydoyle colts in a good-class maiden (1.5l ahead of Seoul Force) and in Group 2 Futurity Stakes stayed on third behind Constitution River; back in trip and much softer conditions here but major player if handling them. |
