12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Has some flashes of classy form at two and three, though not in his last two races (both Group 3s) when tried in a visor and blinkers; those efforts temper enthusiasm in this first handicap on 13th career start; draw no help, either. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with AW Listed win and has proved consistent this term, most recently best of the near-side runners in the Jersey at Royal Ascot; holds solid claims in another change of headgear, albeit is comfortably held by Talk Of New York on Heron Stakes running. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Consistent gelding whose third to the high-class Talk Of New York in Sandown Listed race (1m, good) last time was just the latest in a string of creditable efforts; should be fine back at 7f but he's beginning to look exposed and the first-time visor (replacing cheekpieces) needs to give him a lift. |

Solid fourth at Leopardstown on debut and improved on that when winning a Down Royal maiden, both over this trip; needs further improvement in this company but could get involved. |

Strong in the market before finishing fourth of 11 in a Leopardstown maiden last month when 2.5l ahead of Divelment and 1.5l behind Pliny; not much went right that day (awkward start and too keen early) and expect better this time. |

Won on debut at Listowel last September (7f, heavy); two of three subsequent starts have come in Group 3s over 1m at Newmarket (sixth of 7 beaten 3.75l) and on latest in first-time hood (retained) over 1m2f at Leopardstown (last of 5 beaten 5.5l); rated 99, so obvious chance on the figures in this lesser race. |

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. |

9st 6lb |
Made all in big-field maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) in June on eighth and final outing for Jessica Harrington and, following a 50,000gns sale, he followed up on his stable and handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in August; backed that up with a good second of eight in a 7f 0-90 classified event here (good) and the form has been franked; had 1m form in Ireland; in the mix. |

Bought for 50,000gns soon after winning a 6f Curragh maiden in first-time cheekpieces (eighth start); proven over 1m, let alone this far, and could be interesting on yard/handicap debut. |

Sole win came in a Galway nursery on soft ground in July; was poor in a similar race at the Curragh last time and has a lot to find in this company; looks yard's second-string. |

One of two for yard; has progressed since tackling handicaps, winning at Galway off 72 and runner up over this C&D off 81 last time out (4lb higher now); decent run in the Ballyhane sandwiched between those efforts; needs to improve further to win off this mark. |

Ran a cracker in the Albany Stakes (Group 3) on second start; won a Leopardstown maiden (6.5f, good) on her next outing but she's been held in last two runs including when sixth of eight in a Listed race at Dundalk (7f, AW); still early days but she needs to find more back in trip. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Hasn't made the anticipated progress since finishing third to Diamond Necklace on debut last year and her Navan return was a tad underwhelming; what should help is this slightly longer trip. |

Three runs in second half of last season were promising, final start when tongue-tied in Dundalk AW Listed; belated seasonal return suggests all has not been straightforward and market probably best guide. |

Posted a solid Curragh debut over 7f behind subsequent Group 1 winner Diamond Necklace but didn't improve on that at Punchestown since over 1m; has to resume progress; tongue-tie on. |

Group 3 runner-up at the Curragh last August but unplaced on her four runs since and it's likely she'll assume a pacemaking role for stablemate Diamond Necklace, as was the case in the Prix de Diane last time. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |

Worth a second look given she's the sole Ballydoyle runner and it's possible she'll improve for the step up in trip on her second start of the season; however, she's been beaten in four Listed/Group races since winning a maiden at Leopardstown on her debut last June, and was 2l behind Legacy Link when fifth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket last October. |

Verdict
The experience gained by ANDAB (nap) in Pattern races in Britain and France may prove decisive against two Ballydoyle-trained runners. Wayne Lordan keeps the ride on the colt Straight Up, a winner on heavy first time out at Listowel, and Ronan Whelan retains the mount on the more experienced Group-placed filly Moments of Joy.
