28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Second start at two yielded a 6l course 1m win on heavy; never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day; stepped up on that when staying on strongly to beat Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial over the same course and trip; coltish in the preliminaries at Epsom; did well in the circumstances to finish third (second-best of the Irish contingent); seems ground-versatile and likely to appreciate this stiff test. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Second start as 2yo was a 6l win in Curragh maiden (1m, heavy); never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day and couldn't have left it any later in the Derby Trial back over Leopardstown's 1m2f (good) four weeks ago, but upstaging Pierre Bonnard so dramatically in the latter reinforces the feeling that 1m4f will suit him well; his sire's sole Group 1 win was at this trip; each-way player for trainer and jockey who won the Oaks yesterday. |

500,000euros yearling by Sea The Stars; runner-up to notable rivals on testing ground on first two starts; 4-5 when going one better in an eight-runner maiden at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last month, leading 2f out and gradually asserting to finish well on top; that race has produced winners since and this colt has big-race entries; promising. |

Chased home now 100-rated stablemate James J Braddock on debut last year at the Curragh; sent off 11-8 favourite here on seasonal reappearance when keeping on for a 1.5l second (over 4l clear of the third); well worth a go over this far on that evidence, but good ground is an unknown; leading chance if he acts on it. |
