30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Won a maiden on return and shaped well in a close, running-on fourth on handicap debut next time, both 1m at this track (good); built on that when winning by a nose in 11-runner race at Ascot (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago, when he made up his ground in taking fashion but hung left when challenging; up 6lb but well worth a go at 1m2f and still brings abundant promise. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough with a winning return in May and it was a very promising handicap debut when close fourth (again Goodwood, 1m, good; Abundant third) three weeks ago; was unlucky not to get even closer that day and the form is already working out; big player. |

100-1 when sixth at the Curragh (7f, good) on his debut last year and came clear of the third when runner-up at Brighton (1m, good to soft) in October on his first start for this yard; made a winning reappearance over this C&D (good) 48 days ago and now makes switches to handicaps; could have more to offer. |

Dubawi colt from a top family; couple of underwhelming efforts in Curragh maidens, testing conditions probably weren't ideal last time; bit to prove now. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
One of two for yard; Dubawi colt from a top family; sent off at 4-1 on debut over C&D (good) but weakened quickly in the final furlong; related to two heavy ground winners so could improve but Lordan jumps ship. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Dubawi colt is brother to winners Never Ending Story (7f inc 2yo/Group 3; RPR 111) and Navy Seal (8.3f 2yo/US 1m3f; 104); dam 1m2f winner (inc US Grade 1; 110), sister to 1m1f Group 3 winner Goddess, closely related to Irish Oaks winner Bracelet; National Stakes entry, appears the Ballydoyle pick on jockey bookings. |

Showed a decent level of ability on 2yo debut at the Curragh (7f) and on return at Leopardstown (1m) in May; the third home on latter run is now rated 90; should go close if ready after another break with a tongue-tie added. |

Promise over 7f on Curragh debut but didn't really build on that over C&D (hvy) since, though still a solid effort; needs more with cheekpieces added. |

Wootton Bassett colt is second foal of a Group-placed 6f 2yo winner (RPR 104), herself a half-sister to useful 1m2f/10.6f winner Sir Lamorak, family of US 1m2f Grade 1 winner Athena and Irish Oaks winner winner Bracelet; riding arrangements suggest he is the lesser-fancied of Joseph O'Brien's pair but still respected. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 20y |
9st 5lb |
Highly tried in Pattern races as a juvenile; off the mark when making all over an extended 1m2f at Roscommon on seasonal debut this term; only 1 3/4l behind the stronger-finishing Amadeus Mozart when fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm); proved vulnerable over a longer trip in the 1m5f Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket; cheekpieces on now. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Pitched into Group events twice as 2yo and it wasn't until his second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon); 22-1, every chance through the final 2f when an excellent fourth of 16 on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) 19 days ago; longer trips than that now look well worth a go but he has the most to prove in this field, including with a bit to find on form. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; pitched into Group 2 and Group 3 events for minor roles on the last two of his three outings as 2yo; it wasn't until second start this term that he got off the mark (made all over 10.4f at Roscommon) and he had to knuckle down seriously, but that even-money success from a stablemate (who was 13th in Thursday's King George V) brings improved form into this much harder task for handicap debut. |

Fine effort over 7f at the Curragh on debut; despite running green, second to Thread Of Gold who has won two premier handicaps this season; third-placed Take Charge Star is now a Grade 2 in the US; faded late over 1m at Punchestown on his second start at two; beaten only a head on reappearance at Navan. |

Ran twice at two; always prominent on debut over 7f at the Curragh; despite running green, maintained his effort to finish second to Thread Of Gold who has won two premier handicaps this season; third-placed Take Charge Star has developed into a smart performer; failed to build on that when fading late over 1m at Punchestown; gelded now, remains of interest. |

Ran to a similar level in four starts for Aidan O'Brien and was returning from a wind operation when third of nine in a C&D novice (first-time visor and tongue-tie) on his stable debut 18 days ago; better is needed from his opening mark on this handicap debut. |

A fair sprint maiden in Ireland this spring; made a bright start for new yard with second in 7f Doncaster handicap, but well below that level in 7f handicaps at Thirsk and Beverley subsequently; needs to take a big step forward on his first go over 1m. |

Won a Curragh maiden on debut last year but ran poorly in a Group 3 here next time; however, he resumed his progressive profile this term, winning premier handicaps over 1m1f here and 1m4f at Galway; has to find a fair bit more raised in class but that is possible coming from this source so not ruled out. |

3yo has won two of his four starts; scored in a Curragh maiden on debut (7f, good); came from the back to score by 1.25l in a valuable Leopardstown handicap on latest (1m1f, good) and the runner up was a big eyecatcher at Goodwood on Tuesday; should stay 1m4f on breeding but 3yos haven't got a great record in this race and he's 9lb higher now. |

3yo; Curragh maiden winner (7f, good) last term ran a fine race behind Tim Toe on his seasonal return at Listowel (1m, good) and that rival ran a cracker off 91 in the Ascot Stakes on his next start; this longer trip should suit and he's interesting on handicap debut. |

Unplaced in all three maidens but has shown ability; stayed on well over 1m at Leopardstown in May; well behind Noble Honour and Tanzanite Diamond at Fairyhouse upped to 1m2f (good) on latest; gelded since and blinkers go on for handicap debut; could improve, but others have stronger form claims. |

Best work at finish when beaten 4.25l on debut in a 7f Curragh maiden (good) last August; kept on well again upped to 1m on seasonal return at Leopardstown in first-time cheekpieces (retained); not bred for this trip but it's worth a go on the evidence of those first two efforts. |
