2nd 10 (7) |
16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Unraced on firmer than good and his form claims are pretty flimsy; however, he's one of the dark horses of the race after just six starts and he's shaped at 1m6f as if he may well be an out-and-out stayer; has tried cheekpieces and a visor once each, and now blinkers are given a go; close relation Middle Earth was third over 2m in last year's Melbourne Cup. |

12th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y |
9st 12lb |
Highly tried at Listed level last season after winning his maiden here; the concern is a very laboured comeback run on handicap debut at Cork. |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Lightly raced 4yo didn't debut until June last year, winning Killarney auction maiden on second start; contested 1m6f Listed races both subsequent starts, staying on fourth at Leopardstown and never landed a blow when beaten 5.5l at Ascot in October; drops to handicap company for seasonal return and has to be respected. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made debut in June; 4-6 winner of a Killarney auction maiden (11.3f, yielding to soft) in July and built on that when fourth of eight in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) six weeks ago; started to make ground all too late in the latter and the headgear is now discarded; lightly raced, with strength in stamina, but big improvement is needed. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Half-brother to the talented Buckaroo made a very pleasing debut at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) when slow-starting third to Happy Pharoah and landed odds in 1m4f Killarney auction maiden following month, still looking green but never stronger than at finish; type to improve again and cheekpieces fitted here. |
