9st 2lb |
Won a 1m maiden on soft at Leopardstown on final juvenile start; maintained progression when winning a 16-runner handicap over 1m2f at same track on return; now helps to make up the numbers following a solid handicap display over this trip at Royal Ascot. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Big-race entries; won a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, soft) final 2yo start; always close up to justify favouritism again in a 16-runner handicap at same track (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) on return, working his way to the front late on as Light As Air flashed home for a close second; needs further improvement but likely to stay; one of three for Aidan O'Brien. |

Two-out-of-two at this venue after winning a maiden over this trip and a 1m4f handicap in blinkers last week; different headgear today but this is much tougher. |

10st 0lb |
Got off the mark on 10th start when winning a course maiden over the extended 1m2f here in May; appeared to find 1m1f inadequate at Leopardstown in July; ducked right at the horse-gate on the way to her win, visor now added to usual tongue-tie. |

Got off the mark on 10th start when winning a Dundalk maiden over 10.5f last time; raised 3lb for that but has run well in defeat at this venue before so is one to consider. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 70y |
10st 5lb |
Won a 1m2.5f Dundalk maiden in March and a decent effort on handicap debut over a furlong shorter at Gowran on soft; raised 3lb but going back up in trip on better ground should help. |
2/1 |

15th Jun 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Wootton Bassett colt outran big odds for M Halford/T Collins team in late-season Leopardstown maiden (soft); off the mark on yard debut in 1m2f AW maiden in March, staying on strongly; opening mark looks workable and could play a big role. |

Cheekpieces (and having been gelded) appeared to bring some improvement at Limerick last time, albeit barely got the 1m trip; back to 7f to suit and major claims, despite wide draw. |

3rd 5 (11) |
12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 200y |

Rated 75 after three maiden runs on the AW at 7f and soft ground at 1m; has been gelded and cheekpieces go on; pedigree suggests fast ground will suit; should go well. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins in Ireland last summer and he's twice finished second at Chester this season for his new stable; however, he's struggled to get competitive on slow ground on his last three starts and others make greater appeal. |
25/1 |
|
8th 4 (1) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Scored twice in Ireland; inconsistent this term for new yard, best efforts when second twice at Chester; admittedly had something to prove when tackling 1m2f the last twice, so this drop back in distance looks a plus. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (6) |
12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Won twice for Dermot Weld (at up to 1m1f); easily his best runs for Declan Carroll have been here (twice runner-up) but those were at about 7f and at 125-1 he was tailed off at York three weeks ago (Shafdar was third); the blinkers worn for his last two races are left off. |

9st 0lb |
Two wins last year on soft/heavy and back to form last month on better ground, just failing to get up at Cork and again finished well, having had to wait for an opening, when second to Morehampton at Listowel; disappointingly never really landed a blow at the Curragh on latest and now tried in cheekpieces. |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Two wins last year on soft/heavy included this race off today's mark; back to form latest two outings last month on better ground, just failing to get up at Cork and again finished well, having had to wait for an opening, when second at Listowel; seemingly in good shape for repeat win. |

2nd 9 (2) |
22nd Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Won handicaps over 7f and 1m on soft ground last year; inconsistent this season, but gave it a good go last time at Cork when just missing out (1m, good); he's 3lb higher now and they claimed 5lb last time, so has more on his plate. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 9lb |
4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected. |
11/2 |

1st 9 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 108 over hurdles; gained a first success at the 12th attempt over hurdles in a weak Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last time (2m3f, good); he's in good form for his chasing debut but others are more appealing. |
9/2 |
|
1st 7 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 13lb |
Now 0-11 over hurdles but twice placed in Bellewstown maidens, including early this month after forcing much of pace; has his chance in what appears a weak maiden. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Completed a rapid hat-trick in handicap hurdles in May and got off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Uttoxeter (2m, good) recently; 10lb higher against much tougher opposition this afternoon but he made all in fine style last time and this 4yo could continue his rise up the ranks. |
2/1 |

1st 5 |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded a three-timer over hurdles in May but has been turned over at short odds in first two runs over fences since; did little wrong on either occasion and remains a young chaser with potential; should be hard to beat. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 3 |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning three hurdle races on the bounce in May and very nearly defied a 4lb lower mark than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on chase debut; latest race was voided well before the finish; strong claims. |

Wootton Bassett colt; half-brother to five winners including Kingfisher (8.4f-1m6f including 2yo/Listed; RPR 116) and Finn McCool (1m 2yo; 101); dam 7f/1m winner (including AW Listed; 98), half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Furner's Green; yard's newcomers often need the run but they won this race with a newcomer last season; mixed signs in his pedigree on whether the ground will be okay; Serious Contender is yard's first-string. |
