1st 3 (4) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Won his only race as a 2yo and the future looked bright indeed when he reappeared with a ready win in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good to firm) in May; his career has gone dramatically off the rails in the Derby (4-1 second favourite) and Irish Derby, however, and with far fewer apparent excuses in the latter, which was followed soon afterwards by a gelding operation; begins the road back by returning to the scene of his finest hour. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Impressed despite betraying inexperience when winning a 1m maiden on good at Sandown; on sole 2yo start; became a strong Derby candidate after his winning return in the Group 2 Dante at York; nothing went right for him at Epsom (bumped at the start, failed to settle well, raced wide); one bad run can be forgiven, but wider doubts about the Dante form abound. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Granddam's siblings include Brian Boru, whose two Group 1 wins included the 1m6f St Leger, and Sea Moon, a dual Group 2 winner at 1m4f; never more impressive than in the final furlong when winning a 1m maiden at Sandown (good; unraced on slower) on sole 2yo start and his finish was deadly again in the Group 2 Dante at York (about 1m2f, good to firm) when, despite having little space and taking a few strides to pick up, he dashed clear of Damysus in a matter of strides; this will be more truly run but he's making big waves and there's no knowing how far he can go. |

15th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Well-backed favourite when defying his inexperience to power clear on debut at Sandown (1m, good) last August; absent since, having reportedly "had an issue", and this is a vastly tougher test of his credentials, but he's an exciting prospect and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie. |
