3rd 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden on third 2yo start and led on the post in Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding) in October; 11-1 with three of his stablemates among those at shorter odds when he reappeared in nine-runner Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) last month but it was him who asserted in the final 1f to win by half a length; will stay further but looks firmly in the mix. |

9st 8lb |
Short head winner from A Boy Named Susie in the Eyrefield Stakes over 1m1f here last October; extra furlong should suit but would probably need more than a 2lb concession to account for Pierre Bonnard. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Needs to find improvement following a midfield finish in a Curragh maiden on debut (6f, good); perhaps the step up in trip will see him to better effect; one of two for trainer. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
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. |
6/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Looks reasonably treated on last two maiden runs over this trip, at Galway and when staying 4l third of 9 at Gowran (heavy); staying sort, will appreciate a truly-run race and definite contender in such circumstances. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Looked raw on debut at the Curragh when well behind but much improved at Galway earlier this month when 3.25l behind what looked an above-average rival, and nicely clear of the third; that run makes him a leading candidate. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Left Gowran debut effort behind to win a 7f maiden here last October on very soft ground; won the Madrid handicap at Naas (7f, soft) on seasonal return off 94; preferred by Ryan Moore to his higher-rated stablemate Neolithic in a 1m Listed race here 19 days ago; won comfortably and can continue on the upgrade; pedigree suggests this trip will be within his range. |

4th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Left Gowran debut effort behind to win a 7f maiden here (sft-hvy) last October; won the Madrid handicap at Naas (7f, soft) on seasonal return off 94; that form has taken some knocks but interesting that Moore prefers him to his higher-rated stablemate Neolithic; unproven on quick ground; cheekpieces go on. |

1st 1 (1) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Finished 5.5l behind better fancied stablemate on debut at Gowran (1m, heavy); dropped back to 7f at the Curragh (soft to heavy) and kept on well to go 2.25l clear at the finish, second and fifth have won subsequently; trainer spoke positively about him at recent press day and is a major player on handicap debut. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 12lb |
Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (7) |
4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Modest efforts in 1m maidens last year; gelded and returned with a midfield finish on handicap bow at Naas in the Madrid (7f, soft) from 4lb out of the handicap; shaped as though that was needed and this is less demanding; interesting. |
17/2 |

8th 13 (5) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Maiden form is nothing to shout about; gelded since a 10.5l seventh of nine at Gowran in September (1m, heavy); 4lb wrong here for handicap debut and dropping to 7f; Holohan has been in good form at Dundalk over the winter and is value for his 7lb claim. |

Twice showed fair form at 1m in his four Irish races last term for Ger Lyons; well beaten on handicap debut there, however, and it was the same story this month on both British starts. |

Showed ability in two of his three maiden races in Ireland but well beaten on handicap debut there (1m) in October and a remote last of eight at Chester (1m4f, good; 80-1) on British debut 15 days ago; cheekpieces (worn for his last two Irish starts) return. |

Half-brother to six winners inc Lord Riddiford (prolific 5f inc 2yo/AW/Listed; RPR 107), Mister Freeze (6f/7f AW; 76) and Hope Probe (5f/7f; 71); dam placed 1m1f, out of 1m winning half-sister to Middle Park winner First Trump; never sighted in late-season Gowran 2yo maiden; tongue-tie fitted for return but can only be watched. |

20th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 75y |

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. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |

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. |
