9st 6lb |
Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner Navan contest over this trip in July when dropped in grade; no show in Group 3 Royal Whip over C&D latest; stiff task back in handicap company. |

Won a 7f Galway maiden last July; highly tried subsequently; failed to make an impact when sights lowered in a 1m2f Royal Ascot handicap latest; came good when upsetting a short-priced favourite in a Navan conditions event; supporting role here. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
95-rated 3yo gelding gets weight from his elders; has won his last two, over 7f on soft at Limerick and making all over 1m on good at Listowel twelve days ago; obvious claims but he's also entered in two races at York this weekend; should go well if taking his chance. |

9st 10lb |
Hardy winner of a Limerick maiden in April (7f, soft); that was his best performance in four starts and he may have benefitted from being gelded or the first-time blinkers which are retained here; he is on an upward curve and is a key player. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |
16/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. |
7/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

9st 8lb |
Appreciated the step up in trip to 1m4f-plus when winning at Thurles on his final start last season; ex-Dermot Weld; further improvement possible for his new trainer; this may not be far enough to bring out the best in him. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |

Eight-race maiden and one of his better recent efforts when beaten 3l in a Gowran claimer last time out; two previous efforts over further than 1m haven't been encouraging so new trip is the main concern but stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |
11/2 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 10lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground. |
5/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
10st 12lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; the best of four hurdle runs when beaten 15l in a Naas Listed juvenile event; beaten a long way in the Triumph Hurdle since; can go well but others look stronger. |
12/1 |

17th 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Placed only once from 12 starts on the Flat, showing fair form at best; big odds for his three races in the mud over hurdles, appearing to show his best form when fourth of five in Listed race at Naas last time, but that 15l defeat does not suggest any threat to today's principals. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
8st 9lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo who is hard to fancy on the evidence of his last two starts (1m4f, including here); however, before those he made some late headway over 1m4f here on his stable debut, hinting that today's step up in trip might be a good move; a hood goes on; possibly not a forlorn hope. |

12/1 for debut in 6f Fairyhouse maiden and despite showing signs of greenness he shaped nicely in 5th, beaten 4L; runner up from that race has since won a nursery off 90; step up to 7f could suit and top jockey booked; respected. |

No Nay Never gelding cost 40,000gns at the breeze-ups; half-brother to 1m winner Garden Route (RPR 93); dam South African 5f-6f 2yo winner (inc Group 1); staying-on third in Naas barrier trial in late May looked promising; interesting jockey booking. |
