11st 12lb |
0-10 over hurdles but made the frame on last three attempts, losing out only by a short head on one occasion; placed twice on the Flat lately will be suited by today's trip/ground; good chance. |

10st 9lb |
Sole win from 22 starts came at Cork in April 2023; went very close over hurdles here in March and was second of ten behind an improving filly at Ayr (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; can go well after 1lb nudge. |

Touched off in maidens at Cork and Ballinrobe; not quite at his best at Leopardstown last month; back to 1m should suit and sets a decent enough standard. |

Promising debut at Cork in April (1m, good to yielding) but failed to build on it in four further runs for Willie McCreery; betting to guide on stable/AW/handicap debut. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Has form at a variety of tracks but seems ideally suited by Pontefract, being 3-4 there compared to just 1-16 elsewhere; drops back in class for this first visit to Ayr. |
10/1 |
|
8th 14 (11) |
5th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 113y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Four-time winner who landed a third success at Pontefract (1m, good) on his penultimate start, having attracted support; also effective on a softer surface than that but it was this mark he raced from when well held at York three weeks ago and this demands a career best. |
20/1 |
|
12th 16 (5) |
14th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
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. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |

Two wins in 2023; regressive form this year; mid-field last time at Fairyhouse when ridden by Colin Keane who deserts him to ride stablemate Sonic Invader; blinkered first time. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |
9st 7lb |
A long time since his last win, under Keane at the Curragh in 2023 off 13lb higher (1m2f, soft to heavy); not far away again under Keane last summer at Cork (1m4f, good); form since then has been poor, but interesting that Keane is aboard again now. |
22/1 |

14th 21 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

A long time since he showed his best form; the most recent of his two wins was in 2023; towards the rear in three outings this season; 6lb out of the handicap, can be ruled out. |

8th 3 (1) |
23rd Jun 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Promise in his first two starts but well below form in two runs since including handicap debut last week; first-time blinkers may help him get back on track and there's speed in his pedigree. |

Holy Roman Emperor gelding; cost £25,000 as a yearling; dam French 1m winner, closely related to 7f-8.6f AW winner The Firm; worth a look in the betting but this looks tough for a newcomer. |

3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |
