11st 11lb |
Rewarded determined ride when keeping on strongly from poor position to lead on the post at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; visored) in February but again raced lazily at Stratford (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in March, where he was beaten before final-flight fall; worth a go over this longer trip but it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task; visor refitted. |

Best form was in Britain in 2023; steadily working his way into form of late, although slow starts haven't helped his cause the last twice; wide draw a negative. |

Best form was in Britain in 2023; steadily working his way into form of late, although slow start didn't help at Naas on Tuesday when 4.25l off Roderick; this trip his limit. |

21st Jul 2023 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Ten-race maiden who can take a strong hold but he's finished runner-up in last four starts and he ran into a handicap blot at Salisbury (1m2f, soft; first-time visor) last Saturday; was no match for the winner in that race but he pulled clear of the third and still looks on a workable mark; key player. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 1f 201y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Doesn't help himself by racing too freely and remains a maiden after nine runs but came second three times last month (8.3f-1m2f, good to firm) and is likely to be right in the thick of things again here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; handles good to soft, unraced on anything slower. |

Plenty of chances at a lowly level on turf and didn't improve for the switch to the AW (Polytrack) last time; is some way down the pecking order. |

0-10 on turf and she's shown just modest form; switch to AW needs to have a dramatic effect. |

Runner-up at Ripon (1m2f, soft) in June but two lesser runs have followed and she's now 0-20; wears a first-time tongue-tie; others are preferred. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Races mainly on AW where he has six wins; 1-15 in this sphere and may be worth waiting until he returns to AW. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Consistent spell under Ryan Kavanagh during the winter but resumes from a short break still on a career-high mark as a result (3lb above his highest successful rating); more likely than most to give his running, though, possibly from the front again. |

30th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Modest Irish form and beat only one home on British/handicap debut over 6f on the AW; enough to prove. |

8th 7 (2) |
3rd Mar 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hard to recommend on bare form of three Irish turf runs for Ciaran Murphy but shaped considerably better than the distance beaten in 7f Down Royal maiden in June, travelled well and not persevered with when short of room at a crucial stage; not obviously thrown in but worth a market check. |
