19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Best effort at two when a close fourth in a 6f Naas maiden; flopped in a Dundalk nursery on final start before the winter; now appeals as a possible future winner after Curragh third behind The Pipers Call, who had shown a useful standard of form at two. |

Best effort yet when a close fourth in a Naas maiden last month just a neck behind You'll Think Of Me and shaped like she would relish this longer trip; form working out and is a major player for a yard that excel with their juveniles. |

9st 8lb |
Failed to win in four runs for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland but she showed progressive form for him and made a winning debut for new yard in five-runner novice at Kempton (6f, AW) in December; the latter was at 1-3, admittedly, but she stays 7f and goes on the shortlist. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Improved from debut to finish runner-up in a 6f Naas maiden and finished a neck in front of Quinta Girl over the same C&D last month; that form is working out and ought to go well if she finds any improvement for an extra furlong. |

500,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 7f Group 3 winner at three for Aidan O'Brien; looked raw when unplaced favourite at the Curragh; was slightly impeded before weakening late; went very close over C&D on her second start and looks almost certain to be in the mix. |

9st 2lb |
Half-sister to Group 2 winner Dancing Gemini; mixed form last season, beaten favourite twice; more like it when landing a 7f Dundalk conditions race in February with cheekpieces on; headgear left off now, but makes plenty of appeal in a race of this standard. |

One of two for yard; maiden didn't run badly in a 6f maiden here on penultimate; a bit short of room when beaten 2.75l off 73 on handicap debut over C&D when last seen in October; not discounted in first-time cheekpieces. |

Some promise in a couple of his maiden starts and left a low-key handicap debut behind to win a Down Royal handicap over this trip last month; however, form knocked since and he'll need more from 10lb higher. |

Won a 7f Dundalk nursery last October and gained another win over the same trip in a Curragh fillies' handicap in May; respectable run in the Sandringham H'cap at Royal Ascot, first in her far side ground; has a bit to find still. |

8st 5lb |
Has had seven races but won two of her last three, 7f handicaps at Dundalk (AW; cheekpieces) and the Curragh (good; tongue tied); went up 5lb for the last of those (workmanlike in beating Green Carrera) and they claimed 5lb that day, so she has plenty more on her plate here. |

Narrowly denied on second start in a 7.5f Roscommon maiden (good) in August; no show in Goffs million over this C&D (soft) but off the mark on handicap debut at Dundalk (7f) in October; will strip fitter for comeback run back there in March when beaten 1.5l off revised mark; tongue-tie on. |

Got off the mark in a 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May; best run since was fourth in a Bellewstown handicap last time; the blinkers worn then are retained but she needs to do more on these terms. |

Best run came when beaten 6l in a 6f maiden here last month; didn't get the clearest of runs when favourite on last week's handicap debut; extra furlong will probably help but widest draw won't. |

One of two for yard; not much to recommend in maidens at 6f-1m but yard's runners always merit respect on their handicap debuts and he's preferred by McMonagle; check the market. |

Two less encouraging runs since starting the season brightly with a fourth placing at Roscommon; testing ground probably the issue at Leopardstown; less easy to overlook his Bellewstown failure behind Cause I Like You, Stonyfalls and Beau Army then. |
