All three maiden starts over 6f; showed promise on debut at Naas but didn't go on from that; looks stable selected on nursery debut and could be capable of better up to this trip with blinkers on. |

Two decent Curragh maiden runs but was well below par there on soft last time; however, this surface should suit a colt who is a brother to a Grade 3 dirt winner in USA; interesting. |

Encouraging runs over this trip in maidens but didn't really build on that when making his handicap debut at the Curragh last time; may need to come down in the weights. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 9lb |
Beat Donna Nook over C&D in May when rated 1lb higher; put a couple of lesser efforts behind him when chasing home Runninsonofagun here last week; 7lb better off for 2l defeat so has a handicapping chance; new visor replaces cheekpieces; others still more appealing. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 3 (9) |
13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
C&D winner in May (good to firm) and decent third at Hamilton later in the month (8.5f, good to firm); disappointing in two runs since, first-time cheekpieces latest (retained); could go well back on good to firm ground. |
13/2 |

8th 1 (11) |
6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him. |

9st 6lb |
Winner this year over shorter at Dundalk and Fairyhouse and better again over 1m1f at Leopardstown six days ago when beaten a neck off this mark in 22-runner contest, having had every chance; not at best on only previous attempt at this longer trip so bit to prove. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Winner of two of his five starts since April; possibly unsuited by the 1m4f trip at Fairyhouse on latest; this trip is probably closer to his optimum. |

Went close over C&D in March on stable debut and another good run when fourth at Musselburgh (1m) next time; below par at York on his last two starts but he tackled 1m2f last time and is not ruled out back down to 1m. |

Not far away in valuable handicaps at 1m and 7f in June, including on good to firm, but she excelled herself when making all in a Listed race at Galway (7f, yielding) latest when nearly all her rivals were higher rated; has taken a steep rise in the weights since and this will ask for more. |
