22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever last summer, winning Cork premier handicap (7f, good) and career-best second in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return in May and following month fared best of those racing far side when third in repeat Cork bid; in fine form but stiff enough task conceding weight to a pair of less-exposed 3yo fillies. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over C&D (good) and career-best in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh over an extended 6.5f in July; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return (6f, good); entitled to improve and he's in the mix off 2lb higher. |

Three-time winner over 5f-7f on turf in Ireland but has beaten a total of one rival in two runs at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) for this yard; first-time hood and the return of a tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |

Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |

Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |

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. |

Five-time winner (two on turf) effective at 1m-1m4f; had been running well on the AW this year before a poor effort on testing ground at the Curragh when last seen in April; this ground more suitable and has gone well fresh, but yet to win off this high a mark. |
