30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Seven-time winner, on a long losing sequence now, although soft/heavy ground not ideal of late; handicapper relenting so don't rule out with ground more in his favour; rider/trainer had a winner at Roscommon on Monday. |
8/1 |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 90y |
9st 5lb |
Lost a Group 3 in the stewards room earlier this year; odds-on when beaten in a handicap at Naas (1m2f, good) and never got involved from off the pace when tried hooded in a Group 3 on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown (1m4f); might yet be capable of better. |
7/1 |

6th 10 (5) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Navan maiden win came on soft and most recently career-best albeit beaten odds-on favourite when second in Naas handicap over 1m2f (good); first attempt at 1m4f and hood tried. |
16/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 13lb |
Looked good in winning his maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) and was first past the post in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh only to be demoted for causing interference; again wandered for pressure when eighth in another Group 3 at Royal Ascot and no surprise to see him now gelded; into his first handicap here and retains significant potential. |

9st 9lb |
Maiden placed several times last year including here over 1m1f (good) off 77; absent since a faller over hurdles in October and probably best watched on return. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |

Now 0-10 after finishing fifth of 16 when favourite over C&D 20 days ago, finishing well after hitting a flat spot; this looks stronger. |

Has had a run over hurdles since beating Ehteyat at Roscommon; might not uphold the form on the revised terms. |

Got off the mark over hurdles over 2m1f here in April; has been below form on his last two hurdle runs but won on the Flat five days ago at Roscommon so can't be ruled out. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
8st 9lb |
Only a length off Lambourn on his debut and later won a 1m maiden at the Curragh; beaten about 7l in his two races this season (the latest a handicap) but has been gelded and could come good again at some point. |
6/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Curragh maiden winner last autumn had an underwhelming seasonal return in 1m2f Roscommon median auction contest last month (winner Arouet runs in Listed race on this card) but was eased once chance had gone; slight drop in trip could suit and unwise to rule out on handicap debut. |

9st 5lb |
3yo's best maiden efforts came over 7f-9.5f on good ground at Gowran; soundly beaten on handicap debut at Naas (10.5f, good) when 5lb wrong; now sports a tongue tie; untried on testing ground and a bit to prove for now. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |

5lb out of the weights for this handicap debut but his maiden runs weren't devoid of promise and has been gelded; the market should be informative with the same yard also running Reyenzi. |
9/1 |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 100y |

Promising on only start last season when splitting two market principals in 7f maiden on good at this venue; soft ground may have been his undoing on seasonal debut at Cork; failed to stay 1m5f at Ballinrobe last month. |
