Sole win on turf in the 2023 Norfolk Stakes; has won five conditions races at Dundalk since, the most recent over 5f in February; has struggled since then, most recently last Sunday at Naas; out of his depth here. |

Still to add to his debut success as a 2yo but he has taken well to AW this winter, in the frame in three Class 2 handicaps at Newcastle; looks the clear pick of the Richard Fahey contingent. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Creditable effort at York on his reappearance but turned in a lacklustre effort in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot last time; not a solid option on the back of that but he's 2-2 over C&D, including this race 12 months ago (strong form), and new cheekpieces could help. |
7/2 |

12th 2 (9) |
21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Underwhelming on final two runs last term and only fourth to Inisherin in the Duke Of York on his return; however, he shaped as though he may have needed that latest outing and looked a possible future Group 1 winner when landing a hot running of the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury (6f, good to firm) last July; might not be far away if tapping back into that promise. |
18/1 |

14th May 2025 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Won Group 3 at Deauville (soft) as a 2yo but that surface left him cold when last seen at Ascot in October; had looked as though he might be a high flyer in the sprinting division earlier in the year, when coming clear in a Listed Newbury race before landing a Group 3 there (good to firm); had a draw excuse at Haydock in September but looks well berthed today and this could be the time to catch him. |

His trainer mentioned this race as a target after he was pushed out to justify favouritism comfortably on his 5f Naas debut (good to yielding) at the beginning of May; looks at least useful and could play a part. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |

Inconsistent front-runner who's given a third try in a tongue-tie following a below-par effort back on turf last time (made much of the running from the rail draw at Musselburgh); on a competitive mark if he's on a going day though. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Useful on his day for Brian Meehan, third to subsequent Group 1 winner American Affair over C&D (good to firm) last spring off an 11lb higher mark; might have needed both his runs for new connections, midfield over C&D at the Dante meeting last time; very dangerous if staging a revival. |
10/1 |
|
11th 13 (20) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
His form has gone the wrong way since he was third in this last year (good to firm), behind two subsequent Group-race winners, and he needs a good step forward from his recent stable/seasonal debut at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) where he was seventh; however, he's 8lb lower than 12 months ago and could be just the type that David O'Meara excels with; interesting contender. |
20/1 |
|
7th 3 (11) |
2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Poor strike-rate for one of his ability when trained by Brian Meehan but he can go well fresh and is starting out for David O'Meara (sold 22,000gns last October) off a dangerous mark, some 6lb lower than when third in a hot 5f handicap at York's Dante meeting last May; possible he'll have one eye on that prize but still more interesting than many. |

Out of connections' Queen Mary and King's Stand winner Lady Aurelia and looks to have inherited plenty of her speed judged on his 10.5l debut success over 4.5f on Keeneland's dirt in April; blinkers worn on that occasion are retained and a tongue-tie is added; fascinating contender for trainer who has won this twice since 2013. |

Comes from a speedy family and he ran out an impressive winner on his debut over 5f at Cork (soft to heavy); improved when edged out by Coventry fourth Givemethebeatboys (His Majesty close up in third) in 6f Curragh Group 3 (good) 26 days ago, travelling powerfully for a long way; the return to 5f looks the right move and he ought to be in the shake-up. |

Norfolk withdrawal at Royal Ascot (got upset in stalls) is flanked by promising performances over 6f on good ground at Newbury, winning readily the second time; about 4l behind Purosangue in the Molecomb at Goodwood over 5f but the soft going seemed to tax him; could well get much closer in this rematch. |

Turned over in a messy race when 5-4 for his Newbury debut and was then withdrawn from the 5f Norfolk at Royal Ascot after getting upset in the stalls; confirmed himself a smart prospect when making no mistake from the front back at Newbury (6f, good); easy to knock that form but he's held in high regard and the stable seeks a hat-trick in this (last year's winner won a maiden the time before); looks quick enough for 5f. |
