18th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Keen-going sort likes a sound surface; beat Tarawa on the round mile at the Curragh just over a year ago and, after being gelded over the winter, made winning reappearance in five-runner Group 3 over that trip here in May; penalty means he's 3lb worse off with runner-up Real Appeal; down the field over 1m2f at Royal Ascot where he probably didn't stay; not an obvious candidate for headgear but cheekpieces are fitted. |

14th 2 (10) |
18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Reappeared after a gelding operation to win a 1m Group 3 at Leopardstown (good) last month but it wasn't a strong race of its type and he looks vulnerable under a 5lb penalty here; stamina is also not assured (weakened on his previous attempt at about 1m2f). |

9st 6lb |
Had lots of useful stakes form, including her fourth to stablemate Tahiyra in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas, before snaring her first blacktype win with decisive success in C&D Listed contest on good ground last month; ex-Ballydoyle runner-up might be flattered by his mark these days but she won with plenty to spare and there should be more to come. |

4th Oct 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (3) |
1st Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 11y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (7) |
12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Confirmed his liking for this venue when winning a Listed race here last season (Mutasarref a neck behind), his second C&D win; improving for each outing this season and should run his race but a rating of 99 leaves him with a fair amount to find with a few of these rivals. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 3 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Won this in 2023; consistent stakes performer with seven wins; won Heritage Stakes last season, beating Mutasarref by a neck; best subsequent effort came when fourth in Minstrel Stakes in July; two starts this season, improved from return to be beaten 3.25l behind The Lion In Winter at Leopardstown seven days ago; down in trip; mightn't want the ground too testing but shouldn't be far away and trainer has good course record. |
3/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Seven career wins include this race last season, when he got up in the last strides to deny the odds-on favourite Mutasarref; produced his best subsequent effort when fourth in the Minstrel Stakes at the Curragh last July; dropped away tamely in the 7f Gladness Stakes at the Curragh on seasonal debut. |

1st Aug 2023 Soft 1m 0f 123y |

Wide-margin Navan maiden winner last year before contesting the Vertem Futurity; neck second on seasonal debut in 1m1f Listed at Leopardstown; looked a bit one-paced over 1m on his next start and found 7f inadequate in a Group 2 event at Leopardstown last week; interesting on handicap debut, but no horse of his age has won this since 2004. |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Did well once cheekpieces were added last summer, winning at Ffos Las (1m, good to soft) and in the frame on four other occasions; can get it wrong at the start and that may be an issue dropping back to 7f. |

14th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Strong through the line when winning at Ffos Las and third here, both over 1m; didn't appear to quite see out the extended 1m2f at Chester last time and might be vulnerable to stronger stayers. |

Lightly raced 4yo was having first run since July (gelded) when staying-on second to an improver at the Curragh last month (7f, yielding-to-soft) in first-time visor; yet to race in testing conditions but good chance he'll handle it and one to consider. |

Campaigned at stakes level this year to good effect, notably just touched off in Killarney Listed over this trip; not far off that form when fourth in Naas fillies' Listed on latest although barely got home in soft ground; possibly not the strongest of finishers and interesting to see how she takes to this surface. |
