Listed winner over 1m2f here at three; won weak renewal of this race last year when beating three rivals; held since, including over C&D behind Tarawa last month; 5lb better with that filly for a 3l defeat; suited by soft, handles good but fast ground may count against him. |

9st 6lb |
Handled heavy ground when winning a Listed race at Gowran on seasonal debut; raced too keenly and had an off-day when attempting 1m2f at the Curragh in June; 97-rated filly is up against it in this company. |

9st 6lb |
Returned to action when just lasting out in a 1m1f fillies Listed at Gowran last month; behind Self Belief in last year's Meld Stakes but does handle good ground; needs to improve to win this though. |

9st 9lb |
Debut maiden winner over C&D a year ago beating the very useful Thunder Roll; narrowly denied in a 1m2f Listed race at Naas; again emerged with credit when third (four runners) in the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown; failed to reproduce that form at Naas on final outing. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins here in today's event and Group 3 International Stakes over 1m2f; subsequent Leopardstown efforts were below best below best, as was last month's seasonal return here in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes dominated by two stablemates; entitled to come on for that. |

9st 8lb |
Good form early last season, notably recording back-to-back wins at this venue in a Listed 1m4f contest and Group 3 International Stakes over this trip; below best when attempting a repeat of his 2024 Group 3 win at Leopardstown's Irish Champions meeting; well beaten at the same venue on final start. |
8/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Better than ever this term, recording back-to-back wins at the Curragh in Listed contest and 1m2f Group 3 International Stakes when never stronger than at finish; below best however when attempting repeat win in last month's Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here (1m4f) so needs to bounce back; big player if he does. |
