29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 7lb |
Quality performer won the Group 3 Ballysax Stakes early last year before finishing a 7l 2nd in the Irish Derby; similar efforts in defeat in the Group 2 Mooresbridge Stakes and Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup both starts this term; unhelpful draw but holds a strong chance if fully effective on this surface. |

3rd 4 (3) |
28th May 2023 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Won 1m2f Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown on seasonal debut last year; performed below expectations in the Derby, the track a legitimate excuse; best of the rest when no match for Westover in the Irish Derby; disappointed in the 1m4f Grand Prix de Paris in July and did not appear again; fair third in the Mooresbridge Stakes on seasonal debut, with a below-par Luxembourg fifth. |

29th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Four-time winner, including twice on the AW in UK; held in this grade at Windsor last time but can do better back to this surface. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 1 |
9st 7lb |
Record of 4-9; posted his best RPR by some way when coming clear in a 1m2f AW handicap in June before reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when favourite for York's John Smith's Cup (also raced freely); the potential is there to make a mark at Listed level. |
10/1 |

17th 4 (4) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up on final two starts last season (1m2f/1m3f, good/AW) and improved form when readily winning six-runner Class 3 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; unraced on slow ground; this is much tougher but this lightly raced 4yo is ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; one to consider. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Course regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m here this year; always behind in valuable 1m2f Lingfield contest at Easter; solid claims back at his favoured venue. |

Dundalk regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m this year, but he may be vulnerable to younger legs back down in trip. |

2nd 4 (4) |

Veteran is an eight-time course winner at 7f-1m4f; narrowly denied over 1m4f in a conditions race here a week ago; is 6lb below last win so feasibly handicapped but stepping into unknown territory over this far; chance if he stays. |

Won a 7f maiden here last November and several solid efforts in defeat since up to 1m1f; has a fair bit to find on ratings but is suited by this surface. |

Only win was gained at Dundalk last November; probably capable of better than he showed here in race won by Crystal Black on latest, since two previous Leopardstown runs suggested the possibility of a first turf success. |

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. |
6/1 |
|
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). |

Scored twice in France but failed to score in Ireland, albeit showed useful form on occasions; unlikely to defy top weight, having failed to figure at Kempton (2m; last of eight) on debut for Jamie Osborne. |

8th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 2yo AW winner in France, but 0-8 for Joseph O'Brien and makes his debut for another new yard having changed hands for 13,000gns last month; only previous attempt over this far when in midfield in last year's Irish Cesarewitch and may be best watched for now. |

20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Dual 2yo AW winner in France ran well in defeat at times for this yard last year up to 1m4f; respectable return in a C&D Listed race when 4l behind stablemate San Andreas; can improve from that. |

Four-time winner who last scored over 1m2f at Windsor (good to firm) off just 1lb lower in July; runner-up over C&D in October, however, and confirmed this trip holds no fears when second again at Nottingham (also good) 18 days ago; player. |

Had 1m2f wins last April (here), June and July; kept his form well, including when second in October on his only attempt at 1m6f; recent reappearance was another creditable show here and he has each-way claims. |

Generally consistent gelding who won three times last season including on his reappearance over C&D (good; 3-1) last April; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid after 166 days off. |

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. |

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. |
