9st 2lb |
Building up a useful CV and his comfortable all-the-way Group 3 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good/yielding) last month was a personal best; galloped on strongly that day and should stay this extra 2f; another plausible candidate for Aidan O'Brien. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Did well in the mud as a 2yo and has come good again with seriously committed front-running rides over 1m6f at the Curragh (good) on last two outings; had a huge lead turning for home in both, cut down by a very smart older stablemate in Group 2 on first occasion but thoroughly dominating at 1-2 in a Group 3 four weeks ago; that makes him a serious player on form and the others should not bank on him faltering if he again sets up a big lead. |

9st 3lb |
Dual winner at two is a useful colt but it's been tricky to find a spot for him this term; runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh in May and placed in Listed contest at Deauville in August, both times over this trip, and not shamed in very valuable Grade 3 at Kentucky Downs last time when tried in cheekpieces (left off here); handles easy ground well and should be involved. |
5/1 |
11th 10 (11) |
20th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Two easy 2yo wins (minor races) and runner-up in Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh (1m2f, good to yielding) last month; however, he was no match for the winner and doesn't appear to be progressing; something to find. |

25th Oct 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 8lb |
0-10 but was a distant runner-up in Jan Brueghel's maiden earlier in the season and went close in two C&D runs here last month; keen in both those runs but he should be a major player, particularly if he settles better and the form of his latest second has been boosted by the third winning since. |
3/1 |
2nd 5 (3) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 10lb |
First-time tongue tie (retained) seemed to have a positive effect over C&D on latest; finished 1.5l behind Psalm in third and was giving 7lb to that rival; gets 4lb from him here and that could be enough for him to turn that form around; leading claims. |
15/2 |
3rd 4 (5) |
20th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 8lb |
Remains a maiden after eight starts; poor run at Galway when last seen but ran well twice over this C&D; work to do to reverse the form with Raydamann and Psalm on July meeting here. |
9/2 |
