27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Both runs on slow ground; fourth of 14 over 1m here last October and was returning from 319 days away when a keeping-on runner-up at Roscommon (1m4f) with two of today's rivals behind; solid claims. |

Sent off at 50-1 on sole start in a Curragh maiden last October when 8.5l behind the winner (1m, yielding to soft); gelded since and has missed a couple of intended comeback runs; likely improver upped in trip. |

Runner-up in both Curragh maiden starts for Andy Oliver at 1m2f/1m4f on yielding/yielding to soft; gelded since and now makes hurdling debut for champion trainer; player. |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Started at 18/1 but was a running on second in a 1m2f maiden here on debut, a neck in front of today's rival Appeared; is bred to stay this trip so with improvement likely should be a major player. |

12,000gns yearling; half-brother to winners Mountain Bell (1m2f-2m; Listed; RPR 107) and Future Investment (10.3f-2m; 103); dam unraced; worth checking in the betting. |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Soundly beaten at Navan on debut but a better effort in third (neck behind Portnahapple) over 1m2f here since; cheekpieces added and this longer trip should suit but he may struggle to overturn the form with the runner-up then. |

3rd 2 (1) |
27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

$600,000 yearling; made a low-key start when weakening into tenth at Navan (1m2f, good; 9-1) but horses from this yard can prove different propositions second time out. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 10y |

Justify colt cost $285,000 as a foal and $600,000 as a yearling; fourth foal; brother to US/Canadian 4.5f-8.5f 2yo winner Living Magic (inc dirt/turf/AW/Listed), half-brother to US 5f/6f dirt winner Silver Blur; dam 6f-1m winner (mostly AW, inc 2yo/US Grade 2; RPR 107); debutant appears the stable second-choice, likely all the better for the experience. |

Second runner for yard; was fourth in a 1m2f Curragh maiden for Willie McCreery last year but form deteriorated after; no better on debut for this yard; blinkers need to work. |
25/1 |
|
13th 9 (6) |

Best run for Willie McCreery came in a 1m2f Curragh maiden (yld-sft) last September; tailed off on AW when last seen in December; new yard now; likely best watched unless the market speaks. |

Best form by far came on sole start at around this trip second time up at the Curragh; weakened over 1m4f back there latest but this distance may suit better and his half-brother won on dirt so he could take to this surface; place shout. |

Half-sister to the talented Thunder Kiss; third in two of her four starts in maidens; ran poorly over 1m2f on heavy ground at Leopardstown on her only handicap start; premature to write off. |

Handicap debutante's best run came in a Sligo claimer (10.5f, yielding) on penultimate; reportedly didn't handle the track in a 1m4f maiden at Tramore on latest; can't be discounted. |

1st 2 (2) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 4lb |
Promise in all three maiden runs at 1m2f-1m5f; the latter trip on soft ground probably stretched her on latest at Down Royal; form of previous second at Roscommon (1m4f, good) looks solid in the context of this race; rated 74 and big chance if taking to this surface (half-sister won on AW). |

Stayed on well over 1m2f at the Curragh on sole start last year for Jessica Harrington; still looked raw when second to the Harrington-trained Marazion at Roscommon last month on her first start for Joseph O'Brien; should improve enough to play a leading role. |

Fourth and final Irish start for Lorna Fowler when staying-on second in a Dundalk maiden (1m4f, AW) last November; tongue tied first time when not disgraced at Newcastle four weeks ago (1m4f, AW; 33-1) on yard/handicap debut and she had wind surgery two days later; not entirely dismissed. |

Bettered her turf efforts significantly in a Dundalk (Polytrack) maiden when last seen ten months ago (none of the front three have run since); an unknown quantity for her new yard in a first-time tongue-tie and the market will likely be the best guide. |
