3rd 8 (6) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 2lb |
Easily won a 6f Fairyhouse nursery last season; built on a positive comeback against older rivals at Gowran to run a career best when filling the second spot in a Naas handicap eight days ago (6f, good); she's progressing, but looks out of her depth here. |
50/1 |
|
2nd 7 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 8lb |
Went from 70 to 84 after easy 6f nursery win at Fairyhouse in September; shaped well against older rivals over 7f on Gowran comeback, improved to go second a furlong out before hanging right and tiring; has clearly trained on and 6f will be better for her. |

5th 11 (11) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Off the mark at fourth attempt over 6f on yielding in Fairyhouse nursery in September, making light work of opening mark of 70 in beating Zarvali by 4.25l; ran well six days later when beaten 9l into 12th by Dorset in Goffs Millions; off 207 days; trainer has good record at this course and she's the type to progress but bad draw. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Trained last year in Ireland by Johnny Murtagh; made an immediate impact for new yard when winning Catterick novice (7f, good) 12 days ago, seeming suited by the step up from sprint distances; may improve further but this is a fair bit warmer. |
9/1 |
|
1st 3 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Ran four times for Johnny Murtagh last year, finishing second in a nursery at Fairyhouse in September when last seen; subsequently sold for 25,000euros and gelded; upset in stalls and withdrawn from intended stable debut at Thirsk last month (40-1 at the time); improvement is necessary. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Some promise on first three 2yo starts and he improved when second in nursery at Fairyhouse (6f, yielding; blinkered) in September; subsequently changed hands for 25,000euros and gelded; still low mileage and may progress further for new stable. |

9st 2lb |
Cork maiden winner (5f, good) for Jack Davison last year; made a winning stable debut in a Naas handicap in March (5f, soft) and added another victory in a Cork rated contest (5f, soft); beaten 9.5l by Royal Bay Cen in a Cork Listed race last time (5.5f, soft); a lot to find. |

3rd 5 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 110y |
9st 2lb |
Has run 11 times, with two of her three wins gained over C&D; failed to progress from a maiden win last May; sold for 9,000GBP in January and got back to form in winning a 5f Naas handicap on stable debut; fifth in a 6f handicap at the Curragh early here last month; reappeared over C&D the following day to win a 5f conditions race; more on her plate. |

Won a C&D maiden last May but didn't progress from that over various trips; sold for 9,000GBP in January and got back to form in winning a 5f Naas handicap on stable debut; raised 7lb for that but is race-fit and has to be respected; fifth in the 1.57 Curragh Friday. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Narrow defeat in a Sligo maiden in early August followed by a good third on nursery debut at the Curragh; another decent effort off this mark at Fairyhouse on latest; needs to find a bit more to get his head in front. |

4th 1 (3) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

Below par back over 5f when just behind Zarvali in maiden last time but now returns to 6f over which he was placed off 1lb lower in a nursery at the Curragh; should run well. |

28th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Narrowly denied in a Sligo maiden before hitting the frame on handicap debut last time out; looks like a place player again if he handles the drop back to 5f. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |

Navan nursery handicap winner in October (6f, yielding); has beaten precious few rivals in three handicap runs for new yard including when tailed off at Bellewstown last time; new hood needs to spark something. |

Maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over 6f at Dundalk in April; slowly away over 7f at Gowran next time; another slow break over 6f at Navan on latest; others more likely. |

7th 9 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Maiden went closest when chasing home a progressive type over this trip at Dundalk last month; soft ground and 7f trip proved too much (slowly away too) at Gowran three weeks later; back in trip and better ground here so don't rule out. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

Much improved when second at 50-1 in a 6f handicap at Dundalk three weeks ago on seasonal debut; encouraging that her best run at two was in a C&D nursery on heavy ground. |

Nursery form on turf left a lot to be desired last year but ran much better upped to this trip when beaten 4.5l into fourth by Keepsgettingbetter last month over C&D; poor run again on turf 12 days ago in first-time blinkers; can bounce back on the AW and an each-way contender. |

Soundly beaten all four nursery runs; best of two Dundalk runs was on latest when fourth over 1m, one place behind Personified; blinkers now; each-way candidate if he can take a step forward. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Possibly not the most straightforward but it was a big run when second of 15 at Salisbury (6f, good; front pair clear) last Thursday; that was a career best and subsequent 3lb nudge could have been worse; previous third over 5f showed this trip is no bother and he's considered. |
9/4 |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Aidan O'Brien; struggled on his first four starts for this stable but ran better when third in the returning blinkers at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago; steps back up to 6f and looks a contender. |

3rd 11 (8) |

Maiden who showed modest form for Aidan O'Brien and has form figures of 8980 in four handicaps for his current yard; has lots to prove and he needs a transformation back in trip. |

Well exposed daughter of Wootton Bassett out of a mare by Galileo; regressive tail end of last year; fourth of 24 in 6f Curragh maiden (soft) on return; hard to be confident despite the pedigree, connections and being Aidan O'Brien's sole runner on the card. |

24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

By the late Wootton Bassett but yet to deliver in seven starts, the best of them when narrowly denied at Navan last month; hails from top yard so should be capable of better but comes with risks attached. |
