30th Jun 2023 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Won 7f Galway maiden in first-time cheekpieces; solid first run of this season (no cheekpieces) when chasing home a 10l winner in Naas rated contest over 1m2f; again second over 1m at Listowel with tongue-tie as well as cheekpieces; looks the pick of two runners for the stable. |

Second over 1m at Bellewstown; always prominent and rallied well up the hill to win useful 7f maiden at the Galway festival; not seen since and headgear left off; big step up in trip but dam 1m winner out of half-sister to 1m4f Group 1 winner and running style suggests he'll stay. |

Hasn't added to 2yo Galway maiden win but career-best when touched off in Listed contest at same venue in August in first-time visor; two runs since not nearly as good, not seeming to get home in heavy ground latest; AW debut and major chance on her best form although hasn't always looked the strongest of finishers. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |

A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things. |

Three of his four wins have come over C&D (from 11 visits to Pontefract) and latest was off 3lb higher last July; he therefore cannot be comfortably dismissed despite being well held on all three starts (two here) this term. |
