3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice over the extended 1m2f at Dundalk); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, second over this trip at Naas and dead-heating for fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown despite not getting the clearest of runs; down the field behind Final Voyage here nine day ago. |

11th 13 (9) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 1lb |
Three-time AW winner (twice at 1m2f); out of form on turf last season but some good runs this term, good second over inadequate 7f at Naas (soft) and nine days ago at Leopardstown when coming late to dead-heat for fourth with Amplitude over this trip, having not had the clearest of runs; better ground here to suit and has to be on the shortlist with rider now claiming 7lb. |

4th 4 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner; out of form on turf last season; enjoyed a revival at Dundalk in recent months and proved as effective on turf when second to Independent Expert on soft ground at Naas; plenty to find with Diego El Queso on Curragh running. |

2nd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Showed promise for Andrew Balding last year but he's struggled in last two runs, including when last of nine on recent stable debut at Kempton (6f, AW); mark is falling but he's now 0-8 and has questions to answer. |
25/1 |
|
9th 9 (5) |
16th Jul 2024 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Some promise for Andrew Balding last season but his two runs this year have been underwhelming; sold for 26,000gns in May; best watched on stable debut. |

5th May 2024 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Debut was on turf (well held); 7f novice winner on Tapeta and better was presumably expected when odds-on third for handicap debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f); retains plenty of potential and kicks off his 3yo campaign now gelded. |

24th Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Came good at seventh attempt, with cleacut success at Wetherby (7f, good) last month, and didn't really have race run to suit when keeping-on third behind all-the-way winner at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; remains very much of interest. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 6 (5) |
3rd Jul 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Justified favouritism at Wetherby (good) three weeks ago, proving suited by the drop back to 7f and opening his account at the seventh attempt; back up 4lb but remains unexposed at this trip; shortlisted. |

8th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Prominent racer; has shown promise in three runs over shorter, beaten under 4l when the cheekpieces went on at Kempton last month (7f); bred to stay and could have more to come. |
5/1 |

5th 10 (9) |

29th Jun 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

230,000euros yearling; 9-1, he was beaten just over 3l at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) despite getting no cover and running green; could easily improve on that. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Took full advantage of the drop into Class 4 company when readily seeing off five rivals at Redcar last week (1m, good to firm); penalised in a deeper race but he still commands serious respect. |
5/2 |
|
1st 1 (5) |
26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Two wins last season, over C&D in April (good) and off 1lb lower over 1m1f at York in June (good to firm; beat Cosmos Raj by a nose); not disgraced in two competitive handicaps this season and is the one to beat now down in grade. |
11/8 |
|
6th 13 (12) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Ended last season with a good third to Man Of La Mancha over 1m1f on this course (good to firm); shaped as if retaining all his ability when seventh of 22 in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, short of room closing stages; should be spot-on with that run behind him and looks ready to strike. |

13th Oct 2024 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Had an excellent run in 1m turf handicaps this year, winning the first three, including over C&D, and losing nothing in defeat against a fellow improver at Newbury (heavy) 22 days ago; edged up 1lb but has much better claims than most. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 8 (12) |
21st Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Similar type to Atlantic Gamble, being a productive gelding who has a high strike-rate (5-8) in handicaps; close fifth off this mark last time (1m, AW) and remains in form; versatile ground-wise on turf. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |
25/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed. |
20/1 |

7th 1 (9) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |

Took his C&D record to 2-2 with a success in January and posted a solid effort at Southwell in most recent Flat outing; took advantage of a handy hurdles mark since; respected. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
In good form over hurdles without winning this term before scoring on the Flat at Kempton in January; he must enter calculations back in this sphere. |

2nd 4 (12) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
4-13 on the Flat; narrow winner over 2m at Kempton and it wasn't his first below-par effort at Lingfield 20 days ago; handles this surface and better can be expected. |

14th Jan 2024 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

Ninth of 16 in a 7f AW novice in August but behind on his other seven starts, the last three in handicaps (7f, 6f and 5f); visor now joins his tongue-tie. |
