Form & Verdict

Improved from his debut in a 7f course maiden dominated by Aidan O'Brien when chasing home the subsequent Saint-Cloud Group 1 winner Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk; found the competition too hot in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; 102 official rating (or even the more conservative 94 RPR) more than enough to win if he handles the ground.

1st 7 (10)	5th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y	15:20 Killarney Shaihaan 9st 5lb J: Chris Hayes T: Donnacha Aidan O’Brien	Only 1-8 but he's smart and was placed in a Group 3 before not too bad a run in the Irish Derby; wasn't at his best in the Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, but has been gelded since then; considered.	4/1

Sole win from seven races was a 1m2f maiden in March but he's also contested four Group events; best form when third in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) in May, before weakening to a 13l defeat when fifth there in the Irish Derby (1m4f); that leaves his stamina unproven but his dam was suited by the trip.

Form & Verdict

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
