28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-10 over hurdles; good effort at big odds when a 4.5l fourth of 18 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; didn't back that up at Fairyhouse on latest; would have a place chance with a repeat of that Sandown run. |

10st 4lb |
Hasn't added to Galway 3yo maiden win although last month's return from winter break was encouraging, not fluent last when fourth of 18 behind Mondo Man in Imperial Cup at Sandown; runs off same mark here, rider's claim a positive. |

11st 2lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who failed to threaten on his last two hurdle starts last autumn; however, a break may have helped and he was a close third of 15 at Galway (2m1f, good) last August; his maiden hurdle win came on yielding to soft; has an each-way shout if back on song; tongue-tie is left off. |

Resumed winning ways at Lingfield (1m, AW) in June but scuppered his chance (not for first time) with a very slow start when beating one at Wolverhampton (8.5f) since. |

16th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hasn't always looked straightforward but found things falling his way when winning narrowly off 2lb lower on Polytrack two weeks ago; fine on Tapeta but his jockey, who doesn't claim, has only ridden twice under rules, including once over hurdles in Ireland. |

Tapeta win last summer came off this mark and the booking of Rossa Ryan is a positive as he returns to the AW after three ordinary efforts on turf; not always looked straightforward and interesting to see whether support comes this time. |

First foal; dam German 1m3f winner, half-sister to numerous winners inc Now We Can (French 1m4f Group 2) and New Harzburg (German 2m4f Listed) out of German 1m3f-1m4f winner; plenty of stamina in this newcomer's pedigree; stable's juveniles are flying and interesting to see what the market makes of him. |

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. |

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when winning at Navan (1m5f, good) last month and only narrowly failed to follow up at Bellewstown five days later, getting caught on the line over 1m7f after forcing it; up a total of 12lb for those efforts so more needed. |

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when always well positioned and winning at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago; 6lb higher now but rider's 2lb claim partly negates that; consistent sort is a big player again. |

Met trouble in running on debut at Navan; stayed on well for third in a 7f claiming race at Fairyhouse; this trip should suit and he looks best of four runners for Joseph O'Brien. |

18th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Only one place and 1.25l behind the fourth Tartaraghan when fifth on debut at Navan and considering he did not have the run of the race on that occasion (dwelt start and checked turing in), no surprise with the experience under his belt if he improves past her; definite shout. |

Close up in third in a first-time tongue-tie in a 1m2f handicap at Cork, ran in snatches but was staying on at the finish; took a while to warm to his task at Gowran but again showed ability in keeping on well from an unpromising position; longer trip may help to bring out the best in him. |
