2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Tipperary maiden winner over 1m1f on soft before disappointing run in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final outing at two; limitations evident when third behind Peking Opera in a 1m5f Listed event at Navan on reappearance. |

13th May 2023 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 0y |

Brother to several smart performers, notably Group 1-winning juvenile and Melbourne Cup runner-up Johannes Vermeer; Tipperary maiden winner over 1m1f on soft on third outing at two; disappointing in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud on final outing; blinkered for the first time; fair prospects of getting this trip. |

Always been highly regarded; close third in Curragh Group 3 in May and excellent second in valuable handicap over same 1m2f trip back there lately; travels well so drop in trip no concern and handles a little ease; apparently bound for Australia after this. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Comfortably doubled his hurdle score when winning at Hexham (2m, good) nine days ago, escapes a panalty for that success and Tom Midgley can claim his 3lb allowance here; another bold bid looks likely. |

Just 1-23 over hurdles but was well clear of the rest when 0.5l second to Snapaudaciaheros (2lb worse off) over C&D eight days ago; good chance. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 4f 65y |

Out of form before a Dundalk win in May, down the field behind Deluca Chop at Down Royal; plenty to find on that evidence. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
10st 1lb |
Both turf wins came at Chester in 2024; surprise winner on AW at Dundalk last time given his poor form leading up to it, keeping on well over 1m4f; not certain to back that up off 3lb higher. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Out of an Irish Oaks runner-up; failed to win in two starts at two; emphatic Dundalk AW winner in March; backed that up with Listed success in the Dee Stakes over an extended 1m2f at Chester; did not seem the handle the track at Epsom, worthy of another shot at 1m4f. |

11th May 2023 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Derby and King Edward VII entry; dam second in Irish Oaks; two soft-ground maidens last October; further improvement when winning a 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) six weeks ago, leading well over 1f out and galloping nearly 4l clear; well off the best form in this field but he looks sure to make further progress and his yard has a superlative record in this race. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won in a first-time visor (retained since) at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January and easily made all at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) next time; having gone up 9lb he was beaten 9l when third of 14 at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) last time but today's sharper track may help; could make bold bid. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two from two since visor went on, winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) and Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft; won by 13l); put up 9lb for last win but should be competitive again. |
100/30 |

11st 10lb |
0-26 (0-9 over hurdles) prior to getting off the mark in a first-time visor at Catterick (1m7f, soft) a fortnight ago; came clear with the favourite and he's a strong candidate if the headgear maintains its effect. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
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. |
7/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three of his four wins have come over C&D and is 5lb lower than for the latest a year ago; well beaten in his last two visits, though, so has something to prove. |
16/1 |
|
6th 4 (5) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
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. |

8th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m6f/2m handicaps on yielding when trained in Ireland; added two more on the AW for this yard before an underwhelming run at Carlisle where perhaps the ground was too soft; he's another with each-way claims. |
14/1 |

6th 7 (5) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |

Has gradually found his feet on AW for new yard since returning from lengthy absence and gained neck wins at Southwell (2m) the last twice; at the top of his game and he was effective on turf in Ireland. |

Bounced back from a lesser effort when third of eight here last month and built on that to record his first success for this stable over C&D nine days ago; lively contender under a 5lb penalty. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Minor promise at Sligo on latest but beaten 13l and extended record to 0-8 over hurdles; down 1lb but this step up in trip needs to eke out a lot more. |
