4th Aug 2023 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Ran to a decent level on debut when beaten 3.75l into second behind Warnie at Bellewstown; looked green under pressure that day and cheekpieces are now reached for; big player. |

First foal; dam unplaced 1m-1m4f Flat (RPR 53)/2m-2m5f hurdles, half-sister to winners Character Onesie (7.5f-1m1f) and Captain Middleton (US 2m hurdle); doesn't make much appeal on paper, despite a light weight; still, worth a market check for respected yard. |

12th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 192y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
Won two in a row in Qatar (1m2f/10.5f) earlier this year; however, well beaten in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard (1m2f) and the Buckingham Palace Handicap (7f) since returning to Britain, and others are preferred. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Hampered when a never-nearer eighth of 18 in his sole 7f handicap in Britain, at Goodwood (good to firm) last July; much higher in the weights now following three 1m2f wins in Qatar over the winter and a remote finish in a Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f) recently left questions hanging. |
66/1 |

9st 2lb |
Beaten off handicap marks in the low 90s in Britain last summer; three wins in Qatar this winter and not beaten far when bidding for a big handicap prize in Saudi Arabia in February on latest outing, but stiff task in this. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 14y |
10st 0lb |
Won twice at Leopardstown track last year over 1m4f/1m5f; has confirmed a liking for that venue this season; third to today's rival Cooley's Mist in a 1m5f event the middle of the month, as a prelude to last week's winning effort over 1m7f; up 5lb, can remain competitive. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Won twice at this track last year over 1m4f/1m5f; the best of three runs this term came back here last time over the longer trip; steps up in trip today and a big player if staying; raised 1lb. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 (6) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Placed at two before missing 3yo season; two wins here last year, including corresponding contest (Ob La Di well-held fourth); not seen after that until fair comeback over 1m2f here in May, and 2m1f may have stretched her at Limerick; only 4lb higher than last year; likes it good, but scratched because of quick ground last time. |

Wide margin winner at Down Royal last year off 62 (7f, good); some okay runs following that but well beaten in last four starts and needs to return to her best. |

Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |
10/1 |

2nd 8 (6) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |
14/1 |
|
21th 15 (12) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |
