1st May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Listed Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien and initially looked a good prospect for hurdling; however, has struggled badly under both codes since returning from an absence. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 24y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Listed Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; made a successful hurdle debut for this yard in early 2024 but it's been a struggle since then under both codes; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's hard to trust at the moment and others are preferred. |

One of three for Joseph O'Brien; Dylan Browne McMonagle has ridden on both starts; won on debut at Limerick (1m3f, soft) in April and close second to Peking Opera in Listed race at Navan (1m5f, soft) latest; having raced just twice, he could have lots more to offer and is one to be interested in. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Tipperary maiden winner over 1m1f on soft before disappointing run in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final outing at two; limitations evident when third behind Peking Opera in a 1m5f Listed event at Navan on reappearance. |

Brother to several smart performers, notably Group 1-winning juvenile and Melbourne Cup runner-up Johannes Vermeer; Tipperary maiden winner over 1m1f on soft on third outing at two; disappointing in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final outing; blinkered for the first time; fair prospects of getting this trip. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Dual-purpose Flat, hurdles and chase winner; rated 144 over fences but just one win from six chase starts; pulled up on last chase start in the Galway Plate when the 6-1 favourite; again below best when beaten 24l back on the Flat latest; capable but others arrive in better form. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
9st 6lb |
One of seven for yard and the stable jockey rides; dual-purpose; pulled up when favourite in the Galway Plate on latest; neck second behind Ascending on last Flat start in the Ascot Stakes and 2lb better off with that rival now; blinkers replace cheekpieces; big chance. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Behind three of these when last of six in Navan Listed race (1m5f, soft) last month but was beaten about only 2l on that second start and his strong finish in that slowly run race suggests his performance can be marked up; game win in Fairyhouse maiden (1m4f, good) 12 days ago and this unexposed colt could be about to take a big step forward; one of three for yard. |
