9st 5lb |
One of three for yard; ran green on debut at Fairyhouse but much more like it when making all under Ronan Whelan for an easy 3.25l win second time up at Galway (8.5f, soft); won't mind if there's any rain and he could make a bold bid. |

9st 7lb |
Looked badly in need of the experience first time out at Fairyhouse in June; could be a different proposition now that he steps up in trip with a run under his belt; stable has won six of the last seven editions of this maiden, and 11 of the last 14. |

St Mark's Basilica colt; dam 1m 2yo/1m2f Listed winner (RPR 104), half-sister to winners September (7f 2yo Listed), Sir John Hawkins (Group-placed 6f 2yo) and Wisconsin (useful 12.5f), out of Irish Oaks/Yorkshire Oaks winner; beautifully bred newcomer but his stablemates have racecourse experience over him this time. |

9st 2lb |
0-5; promise in maidens but hasn't made an impact in first two handicaps, here last October (1m, yld-sft) and at the Curragh when last seen in April (1m, sft); cheekpieces reached for and a bit to prove for now. |

Fair form in maidens before 5 1/2l fourth in a Leopardstown nursery; all four juvenile runs were in races won by Ballydoyle inmates; interesting now on the strength of Gowran third behind Ballysax winner and Classic hope Christmas Day. |

9st 6lb |
Placed on all three starts; however, all have been in small-field races and he was beaten 5 1/2l in first-time cheekpieces by a stable outsider at Tipperary 11 days ago; apparent selected for trainer who also saddles three newcomers and should go close. |

Fourth in Naas barrier trial in May; promising Killarney run in July when 20-1 stable second-choice, staying on for third ahead of an odds-on favourite stablemate; improvement likely but perhaps the outsider of Joseph O'Brien's pair again. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
195,000gns yearling; beaten a fair way in two 1m soft-ground maidens in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last autumn, but has been found an uncompetitive race for his stable debut (same owner) after 229 days off, having been gelded since last seen; the longer trip should suit on breeding and he's respected. |

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. |

Beat very few rivals in three Flat maidens last year; modest sixth of 14 on Flat handicap debut at Gowran last time; hails from a yard that means he can't be ruled out despite a Flat rating of 45; hood goes on for hurdling debut |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form over 1m2f at the other Newmarket track on his first two starts this season, winning a handicap (on good) and third of five in a Listed race (good to firm); the Derby Italiano on heavy ground last time did not work out but he returns to a handicap on what looks a pretty good mark. |

3rd 2 (5) |
1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle colt who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his stable debut in a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in December and followed up over this C&D (good) 16 days ago on his first handicap start; could continue to progress but does need another step forward today. |
12/1 |

1st 4 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Some improvement in maidens in the mud for Aidan O'Brien in the autumn; 30,000gns purchase and first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) when getting off the mark at first time of asking for new yard in seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, making all; needs a chunk of improvement on this handicap debut but the trip should not be a problem. |
