9st 12lb |
Ran well in pair of good maidens over 7f; didn't get home on first try at 1m in another hot maiden at Leopardstown but too early to say he doesn't stay this trip and has been gelded. |

Decent level of ability on both outings over 7f, staying on third here in May and raced handier at the Curragh, losing third late on; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this step up in trip. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, surging back to form when scoring there on good to firm last month; a lesser run over 6f has followed but a revival isn't ruled out back at 7f from a good draw. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |

Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Gained first win since his 2yo days when making all in a Class 6 over C&D last week (blinkered first time); unlikely to get a soft lead this time and a 5lb penalty against stronger opposition demands more in any case. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Won maiden claimer for Tony Mullins in August 2024 (1m, good); hasn't won since but a few fair runs for new yard, including when third at Carlisle in June (1m1f, soft); blinkers now tried; fast ground is a concern. |
3/1 |

15th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate but he ended 2025 in good form and he ran his best race of this campaign when third over 1m1f here last week; runs off the same mark and he is one to take seriously. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Some positive efforts in his ten Flat runs; went close in a Curragh nursery last September off 72; returned from a break with a 2.5l third at Limerick in July when hampered by a faller and catching the attention of the stewards; below that level at Galway later that month; makes stable debut and an interesting contender. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |
8st 10lb |
Third runner for yard; went close in a 7f nursery at the Curragh last September off this rating; back to form when hampered by fallers and catching the attention of the stewards at Limerick 16 days ago; tongue tie is added to cheekpieces; can't discount off the same mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 70y |
9st 6lb |
Went closest to scoring on nursery debut over 7f at the Curragh last year but has been below that level in three starts at 1m since; the step up in trip on faster ground with cheekpieces needs to help. |

Enjoyed a good spell last summer, including a win and a short-head second in two outings over 1m here in June; twice made the frame over 1m here this year before winning over this trip at Down Royal in May; out of the money twice since then. |

Enjoyed a good spell last summer, including a win at this track (1m, good); fair efforts in defeat this year before improving to score at Down Royal (7f, good) on latest; up 5lb but right in the mix again as long as the ground doesn't deteriorate. |

Ran well in defeat in three starts at Listed and Group 3 level this term inc when fourth over C&D in May; had Bonnie Moon and Butterfly Wings behind her when fourth over 1m5f at Navan on penultimate start; no-show in a Cork Group 3 last time when Butterfly Wings finished in front of her (1m4f, good to yielding). |

Went close in a couple of maidens either side of finishing last in the Chesham; beaten 17l on handicap debut last time in first-time blinkers (replaced by cheekpieces worn previously here) and he's the type to bounce back. |
