20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; rather put in his place in a Group 3 on final 2yo start and two Listed races this season, but he rallied well when a close third to Birdman (Wednesday's Queen's Vase third) over 1m5f at Navan last time and perhaps could have done with setting a stronger pace; top trainer (runs four) won this in 2019 and has had two runners on the premises since. |

9st 2lb |
Comfortably won Dundalk maiden (1m, AW) on third and final 2yo start and close third of five in Group 3 Derby Trial at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) on reappearance; changed hands for £480,000 on Monday (remains in same yard); in excellent hands to continue to progress and could be involved. |

1st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
All four wins on the AW and 0-15 on turf, though has been running well at 1m-1m2f on grass this year without getting the job done; does have to bounce back from a poor one, however. |

Held off his revised mark on turf since two AW wins, including here, in April; wins have all come over shorter but he stays this far and is one to consider back on Tapeta. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
He has the ability to make a nonsense of his lowly rating but slow starts have been a recurring theme and he completely disgraced himself at Leicester in May; running okay over hurdles this summer but can't be backed with any confidence. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
1-25 on the Flat; kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June but two lesser efforts have followed and it's questionable whether the refitted cheekpieces will make the necessary difference. |

Won a weak Galway maiden last summer but 0-5 in handicaps since, twice well beaten at this year's Galway festival when cheekpieces tried (nor discarded); hard to fancy. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |
9st 3lb |
Won a weak C&D maiden at last year's meeting and absent until well held in Leopardstown handicap in June; better effort 15 days later in first-time tongue-tie at Down Royal when staying on late after not clear run but didn't count here on Tuesday in first-time cheekpieces. |

29th Jul 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Won a maiden over the extended 1m at this meeting last year but has been below that level in two handicap starts this term; cheekpieces need to have a reviving effect. |

Has placed form at this track; won a 1m4f handicap off 75 at Fairyhouse when last sighted in June; off since and has had a gelding operation; got a 6lb hike for that last win and this drop back to 10.5f not certain to suit on the evidence of his last couple of runs. |

Two decent Curragh maiden runs but was well below par there on soft last time; however, this surface should suit a colt who is a brother to a Grade 3 dirt winner in USA; interesting. |

9st 8lb |
Bagged back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Gowran in October last year on softer conditions; back to form at Gowran on heavy ground when reeled in late last time (1m, heavy); 4lb hike for last run seems harsh but cheekpieces on now and can go well. |

Two wins last October including here over a bit further, beating Pink Socks; has been mostly well below that level this term but not dismissed off that same mark. |
