9st 7lb |
Showed improved form earlier this year, winning a Gowran handicap in good style and followed up in a Listed race over 9.5f at the same track; solid in defeat since including against the classy Purview here last time; should run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Started season with back-to-back wins at Gowran, a 1m handicap (soft) and a 9.5f Listed race (10.5f, gd-yld); not disgraced in 1m Group 2 here (good) last month and again ran well when beaten 1l in 1m (good) Listed race at Navan three weeks ago; this longer trip fine and preferred by Browne-McMonagle, but rated 100 so needs to find more in this company. |

Down the field in a Group 2 event at the Curragh a fortnight ago; had previously stamped herself as an improving filly with two Gowran wins, the second of which was in this grade, earning a 3lb penalty; 100-rated filly is joint top-rated on official ratings with two of the younger generation. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
9st 9lb |
Record of 0-14 for current yard but her form in Listed races this term is encouraging; finished second over C&D in May (0.5l in front of Subsonic); another positive third over 1m4f at Pontefract last time; the fact Browne McMonagle rides her ahead of Star Performer is a big boost to her chances. |

Record of 0-13 for current yard but her 2026 Listed form (over shorter) is encouraging, including as regards this step back up to 1m4f; stable had a great week at Royal Ascot; this may be the time to catch her. |

Won a 1m2f Curragh maiden in September (yielding to soft) before good third in Listed event at Gowran Park (9.5f, good); consistent but well-held in three stakes races since; down in trip and needs more. |

Won a 1m2f Curragh maiden in September (yielding to soft); good third on seasonal return over C&D in a Listed contest in May but soundly beaten in a similar race at Navan next time and a Curragh Group 3 last month (1m2f, good to firm); cheekpieces replace the hood worn the last day; place chance. |

C&D maiden winner on yielding to soft last September; good third on seasonal return in Listed heat at Gowran (9.5f, good to yielding) but soundly beaten in another Listed race at Naas on latest (1m1f, good); moves up in grade and trip; new headgear combination needs to eke out more. |

29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Progressive last year, winning three times, notably when running away with a Gowran Group 3 on heavy ground final start; not at the same level in two starts earlier this term; top-rated but needs more ease in the ground to be at her best. |

Won three of four starts last season, including a C&D Group 3 by 7l on heavy ground; also placed in a Naas Group 3 on good ground; solid return when a 2.5l third in the 1m Park Express at the Curragh last month; step back up to this trip a plus and should be too good for these, even giving weight away. |

8st 12lb |
Has done most of her racing at 1m, odds-on for her sole win in a Killarney maiden last autumn; more recent form over longer distances in good company; this is closer to her optimum. |

Has done most of her racing at 1m, odds-on for her sole win in a Killarney maiden last autumn; this trip may stretch her stamina; on the plus side, this represents a drop in class after two Listed attempts. |

Off the mark for this yard in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap (soft) 19 days ago; all three of her wins have come in handicaps on soft/heavy and she was well held on her only previous try at this level at Gowran in May; cheekpieces go on; Shaool looks yard's best hope. |

1st 6 (1) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; good efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) and at this course (1m2f, yielding to soft; had Couer d'Or behind) on first two runs for this stable; outclassed in Listed grade at Gowran but a big player if the ground deteriorates. |

6th 2 (5) |
5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |

Solid form in handicaps for John O'Donoghue; solid efforts in handicaps at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) and Leopardstown (1m2f, yld-sft) on first two runs for this stable; up against it on the figures here but if there's heavy rain she could sneak into the money. |

AW winner in France (8.5f); ran well at Dundalk in March (7f) but no impact on turf the last twice, albeit was out of depth in Listed race at Gowran last time; tongue tie now tried. |

5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |

AW winner is 0-8 on turf and yet to trouble the judge; rated just 77 and beaten in a Limerick handicap on latest; surely out of her depth in this company. |
66/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |

French AW winner; promise on debut for this yard at Leopardstown but blood in both nostrils when a beaten favourite for her next run at Navan; back on track after a break at Dundalk (7f) last month when a 1l third; chance off the same mark if backs that up. |

9st 9lb |
C&D win came in a maiden in 2023; a couple of decent runs this term but reportedly stopped very quickly when down the field at Leopardstown latest; is 2lb below her last turf win but was well held by Iron Fist at the Curragh in May and others more convincing. |

Five-time winner up to 1m2.5f; last win came at the Curragh in 2025 off 2lb higher; has been a bit hit and miss since but has faced some stiff tasks too; beaten 6.5l in the Ulster Oaks last time off this mark; needs more. |

Impressive 5l Curragh maiden winner over 1m (good) on debut last June; 10l third in heavy-ground C&D Group 3 next time out; trailed in last of 10 on seasonal return in Group 3 at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) but was reportedly showing signs of being in season; tongue tie now goes on; could improve for return to a sounder surface. |

10th 7 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
An impressive maiden winner over C&D in June; coped well with step up in class and far softer ground when 10l third to Faiyum at Gowran Park lto; off 195 days; down in trip; progressive type but likely to struggle to turn the tables with Faiyum off 3lb better terms. |
20/1 |

3rd 13 (2) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Was an impressive debut maiden winner over 1m (gd) at the Curragh in June; this is a significant step up in class on much softer ground so others make more appeal. |
