Very smart pedigree; beaten 13l in sixth behind a stablemate on debut at Dundalk after running in snatches; handled heavy groud when second to a shorter-priced stablemate at Listowel; tongue-tie and cheekpieces on now; stable outsider again |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |

Well-bred sort but was beaten 13l by a stablemate on debut at Dundalk after running in snatches; seems yard's second-string again here. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |

Second foal; dam placed 1m/8.6f (inc AW; RPR 69), half-sister to winners Beautiful Morning (1m2f Group 3), Classic (useful 7f/1m inc 2yo) and La Gloire (1m2f); by a quality sire and cost 25,000euros as a yearling so is worth a market check on debut. |

9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Promise in three maidens last year on varying ground, including when third at Listowel on heavy (beaten 8l into third by Straight Up); ran well on handicap debut 18 days ago when 2.25l third to Empty Wallet, first run since being gelded and in first-time cheekpieces; should be thereabouts for in-form stable. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy); may not have been suited by quick ground in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket; hooded after disappointing seasonal debut; making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Wootton Bassett colt justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy), well on top at the finish; may not have been suited by quick ground at Newmarket in October, outpaced early and unable to sustain a challenge from two furlongs down in the Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1m, good-to-firm); 8lb behind Hardy Warrior on official ratings, RPR gap is wider. |

Hints of ability at Dundalk during the winter; showed improved form to win when raised in trip at Ballinrobe; up 6lb now, strong contender whose chance could be advertised by Ballinrobe runner-up Accelereight in the first heat of this contest; the form of the Ballinrobe race already looks solid. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Regressed in Ireland, is still to finish placed after seven starts (mainly in sprints), and has ducked left leaving the stalls both runs for this yard; not without hope into such a weak handicap down 3lb though. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 6 |

29th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 5 |

Down the field in two 6f handicaps at Dundalk for Andrew Slattery this winter but her new stable is no stranger to success with recruits from Ireland, including with its other runner here; one to note in the betting. |
