4th Aug 2023 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Ran to a decent level on debut when beaten 3.75l into second behind Warnie at Bellewstown; looked green under pressure that day and cheekpieces are now reached for; big player. |

First foal; dam unplaced 1m-1m4f Flat (RPR 53)/2m-2m5f hurdles, half-sister to winners Character Onesie (7.5f-1m1f) and Captain Middleton (US 2m hurdle); doesn't make much appeal on paper, despite a light weight; still, worth a market check for respected yard. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Won two in a row in Qatar (1m2f/10.5f) earlier this year; however, well beaten in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard (1m2f) and the Buckingham Palace Handicap (7f) since returning to Britain, and others are preferred. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Hampered when a never-nearer eighth of 18 in his sole 7f handicap in Britain, at Goodwood (good to firm) last July; much higher in the weights now following three 1m2f wins in Qatar over the winter and a remote finish in a Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f) recently left questions hanging. |
66/1 |

7th 3 (6) |
29th May 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Beaten off handicap marks in the low 90s in Britain last summer; three wins in Qatar this winter and not beaten far when bidding for a big handicap prize in Saudi Arabia in February on latest outing, but stiff task in this. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Very reliable in the first half of last season, notching two wins at this venue and three places elsewhere between May and July; wins were over 1m4f and 1m5f, and this trip is shorter than ideal for her seasonal debut. |

Off the mark at the 11th attempt in a C&D handicap in May when first-time blinkered and then chased home the favourite at Fairyhouse; up another 4lb but she's found her level. |

Wide margin winner at Down Royal last year off 62 (7f, good); some okay runs following that but well beaten in last four starts and needs to return to her best. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident. |

Did well last spring and placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but down the field in his three appearances this year; latest was in a 1m4f race at Chester last week, where he'd been runner-up the year before, so there are doubts currently. |
