Hard to crab his record on AW, winning three times and regularly placed; he'll need a good pace back at 7f but that could be on the cards. |

9st 6lb |
Consistent maiden who was second for the fifth time in a row at Chester (10.5f, good) on penultimate start; fared less well on handicap debut when fourth of five back there (10.5f, good to soft) since and steps up in distance here. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
11st 12lb |
Flat winner; won impressively on hurdles debut at Down Royal and then touched off in the Royal Bond by Koktail Brut; further behind that rival in DRF Grade 1 and beaten a neck by Le Labo in Grade 3 at Naas; still in the mix when falling at the last at Fairyhouse last time in first-time cheekpieces (discarded); can go close with a clear round. |
8/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied by Koktail Brut in Grade 2 Royal Bond over C&D; 2l behind Koktail Brut when fifth in DRF Grade 1; sloppy jumping proved costly when beaten a neck by Le Labo at Navan; first time with cheekpieces. |

Three Flat turf wins, including a Leopardstown premier handicap on heavy; has taken well to hurdling, winning Down Royal maiden and just denied in Grade 2 Royal Bond at Fairyhouse; DRF fifth at Grade 1 level wasn't a bad effort either; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard. |

6th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Took a backward step on his handicap debut at Haydock in May (1m2f) but the ground was soft and that might not be the run to judge him on; drops into Class 6 company with potential judged on his maiden form. |
5/1 |

4th 6 (5) |
24th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Made debut in February and has displayed ability across his three starts (7f/1m; unraced on slow turf); his attractive pedigree indicates this step up in trip can be a source of improvement on handicap debut; interesting. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Yet to be placed from six starts, he returns from a three-month break after finishing last of eight at Haydock (11.5f, good) in July; first-time blinkers go on and yet to run on ground worse than good; one to watch for in the market. |
20/1 |

8th 7 (7) |
5th Jul 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Respectable fourth switched to turf in his two handicaps (1m2f) this spring and he was a well-backed favourite at Pontefract last time; still lightly raced but he needs to find more and not sure this new trip will suit on pedigree; his turf runs have been on good/good to firm. |

Runner-up in soft-ground 1m4f handicap at Doncaster at three for Charlie Johnston; lightly raced for this yard; okay run over hurdles last year; out the back in 1m2f Roscommon handicap when last seen. |

Maiden ran well enough in five Flat starts for Charlie Johnston in 2024 but recent hurdles form doesn't inspire confidence on Flat return; tongue-tie tried. |

15th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Progressive 5yo who was taking his record over C&D to 3-3 when beating Melek Alreeh here 13 days ago; could have even more to offer and is one of the leading contenders off this 2lb higher mark. |

30th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Has made great strides since winning a classified event in July 2024, winning three times on Polytrack, most recently over C&D in March; hampered start at Lingfield in September before involved in a tight finish and seems likely to find another race off this mark. |

Poor form in two Newcastle runs over shorter; only 6-1 for debut so clearly felt to have some ability; perhaps handicaps will prove more suitable after this. |

Prominent in the betting prior to his debut here in December (6f) but it was an uninspiring run, always in rear; new trip needs to have a dramatic effect. |

9,500euros foal, 50,000euros yearling; half-brother to winners Chica Mala (Italy; 5f-6f) and Gloria Gentis (Poland; 6.5f/7f); dam an unraced half-sister to a couple of winners from the family of Irish Derby winner Jack Hobbs; useful standard to aim at on debut and probably best watched. |

Sold for 12,500euros then 21,000euros as a yearling; by Inns Of Court out of a 7f/1m winner (including AW); one of several newcomers in the field; market helpful. |
