6th 7 (4) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Both wins have come right-handed on yielding ground, over 1m3f last year and under a brilliant ride from the champion jockey over 9.5f at Gowran last month; has run well this way round, too; handled quick ground okay when ridden to get 1m4f (upped to this grade) at the Curragh last time; cheekpieces swapped for blinkers. |
13/2 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Two-time winner on easy ground, including on latest at Gowran (9.5f, yielding); won over 1m3f (yielding) at Down Royal last season; 3lb rise for latest success seems reasonable and worth a try at this trip but could probably do with some rain. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 8lb |
Landed 1m3f Down Royal handicap in September before disappointing favourite on the AW next time but had excuses; returned with encouraging fourth at Navan (1m2f, gd) 48 days ago, travelled well; set to come on for that and big player. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 40y |
9st 9lb |
Won a 1m3f Down Royal handicap last autumn but was poor on AW after (found to have mucus in his lungs); needs best on return but can't be ruled out. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 5lb |
Improved since handicapping after a gelding procedure, finishing 2l third when well-backed for his handicap debut over C&D last month before staying on best to win over 1m3f at Down Royal 10 days later; unexposed with just five starts under his belt and should go well again from 5lb higher. |
4/1 |
