3rd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Thoroughly proved himself in the mud as 2yo, notably when beaten a head in Group 1 at Saint-Cloud (1m, heavy) in October; that form has taken some knocks and reappearance one month ago was not at that level but he gradually worked his way to the front for a tidy win in that Listed race at Roscommon (11.7f, good to yielding; 11-10 favourite) and looks set to build on that performance, including with greater stamina tests. |

Second runner for yard; won a C&D maiden in 2024; gained a deserved Listed success at Killarney over 1m last time after some solid runs in defeat at that level; has run well over C&D but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |

8st 12lb |
Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden and bolted home in Naas rated contest over 1m2f; quite tame effort however in Leopardstown Listed over this trip last time after setting a steady pace; return to easier ground should suit but questions to answer at this level now. |

Much improved this spring with step up in trip, winning Tipperary maiden over this trip before impressive in Naas rated contest over 1m2f, travelling strongly to lead some way out and going clear (eased and value for more than 10l margin); well worthy of this step up in grade and should go well if handling this fast ground. |

Opened his account at 16th attempt with a comfortable front-running success in a 7f maiden here last Friday; previously, had often run well in defeat, in good company at times (has run in three Pattern races); 5f was too sharp here on his penultimate start; 1m should suit |

In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip. |

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since; encouraging enough comeback run (after 258-days off) at the Curragh a month ago, staying on late after not clear run; down to an enticing mark and could go well. |

AW maiden winner and ran a cracker in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in 2023 but hasn't repeated that form since although solid run in Naas Listed last year; reappears for new yard off much reduced mark (23lb below career-high) and interesting to see if new yard can exploit it. |

Ran just four times last year, winning on three occasions (1m, good/soft), and back on the scoresheet at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago on his second start of the season; did it cosily last time and a 4lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

Did well to win at York (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in August but only fourth of five in the Great Metropolitan at Epsom (also 1m4f, good, Topteam behind) 17 days ago; that was a shade underwhelming given he'd won the race in 2025 but was a little weak in the market so maybe better can be expected this time. |
