9st 8lb |
Commanding C&D Derby Trial win in testing conditions in the spring but has encountered much quicker ground on all three starts since in Group 1 contests won by Auguste Rodin, pick being Epsom Derby fourth; reportedly didn't let himself down on the ground here in Champion Stakes on latest; down in class, handles these conditions and major player. |

Started the season with a low-key Naas win before beating Up And Under and Proud And Regal in commanding fashion in the 1m2f Derby Trial at Leopardstown; ground was very testing then, but he handled quick going effectively when a creditable fourth in the Derby; met some trouble in running and did not look suited by the track, so his performance can be upgraded. |

Promising debut at Navan last October; runner-up in a pair of 1m2f Group 3 races at Leopardstown in the spring; beaten 1/2l by White Birch in the Ballysax Stakes and split Sprewell and Proud And Regal in the Derby Trial; dam a 1m2f winner by Galileo, so 1m4f may prove within his range. |

26th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good 2yo when winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, as well a second in the National Stakes; pleasing third in a Group 3 first time back and it's been Group 1s since then (1m/1m4f); absent three months but commands respect back at this level. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Enjoyed a fine season at two, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; third to Sprewell in the 1m2f Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal debut; made little impact when dropped back to 1m in Irish 2,000 Guineas; Galileo colt out of a top-class miler by Danehill, tackles 1m4f for the first time. |

Enjoyed a fine season last year, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; ran okay in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal bow three weeks ago; back to 1m here on quicker ground is another test altogether; interesting runner but others preferred. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win five weeks ago; one concern is that he was below form last September on his only run at this track. |

9st 7lb |
In the frame in six of his eight starts since returning to the AW last September, but his losing run is mounting yet he remains 8lb above his last winning mark; others more compelling. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Won on debut at Gowran (9.5f, soft) in April; hasn't threatened in Leopardstown Group 3 (1m2f, soft to heavy) or Goodwood Listed race (1m3f, good) but displayed staying potential at Goodwood and is not ruled out now up in trip on handicap/stable debut, having changed hands and left Johnny Murtagh. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 35y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Twice placed over hurdles this spring (2m1f, good to soft/good), with a heavy defeat on the Flat at Musselburgh (1m6f, soft) in between; however, it's possible this shorter trip will be a better fit for him in this code. |
25/1 |

3rd 9 |
15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-8 over hurdles and has a tendency to race too freely but ran by far his best race for Iain Jardine when very close second at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in March, and remains well handicapped on older Irish form. |
8/1 |

8th 10 (9) |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 5f 216y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Ex-Irish; beaten 30l and more over hurdles in first four British starts but back to life for a short-head defeat 13 days ago (second run after wind surgery); now returns to Flat, in which sphere he's 1-9 having won a maiden in 2023 and been second in a 1m5f handicap last July; needs a second look. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a maiden at Market Rasen in July and a novice at Hexham the following month over around 2m4f but form has dipped since handicapping on his last two starts; blinkers replace cheekpieces on this drop in distance and he needs to be taken seriously in this low grade. |

In good form in the summer, winning over 2m4f at Market Rasen and here; only fourth of five at Newton Abbot last time but ran respectably on the figures; shapes as if he'll be suited by this step up in trip; respected. |
