25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

3rd 2 (7) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |
9/2 |

8th 5 (2) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Impressive debut winner over 9.5f at Gowran last summer and ran respectably in Group company after; ground was very heavy when beaten favourite at Naas on return; first time running over this short a trip and interesting contender. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 3 (3) |
12th May 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
in touch with leaders, headway and prominent on near side of group 2f out, outpaced when short of room and hampered inside final furlong, kept on towards finish, no match for first two |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (3) |
24th Mar 2024 Heavy 1m 2f 98y |
9st 7lb |
All three starts over a similar trip to this; impressive maiden winner at Gowran before running creditably in Group class in France and at the Curragh; has been off since August, though and has yet to encounter ground this soft; big player if handling it. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
10st 1lb |
Second of three for yard; ran a solid race off 2lb lower in the Ebor at York in August, staying on for a 3l third (0.5l behind Ascending); predictably came up short in the St Leger here on latest but he could bounce back returned to handicap company. |
20/1 |

6th 7 (4) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Sole win (11 races) was a 2023 maiden; career-best on latest when third in Ebor Handicap (York) but has fallen short at Group level in the past and likely to do so again here. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 4 (5) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Sole win (ten races) was a 2023 maiden; twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in spring 2024 and Curragh Group 2 on latest outing was up with his best form, albeit finishing only sixth of seven; last year's 17th in the Ebor and 11th in the Cesarewitch, both off only 3lb higher than today, suggest it is best to turn elsewhere despite his illustrious connections. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

Reliable mare but yet to make the breakthrough at Listed level (five attempts) and this second attempt at a Group race is even tougher. |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Best form has been at 1m2f but it was a Listed race in which she struggled when trying this far for the first time at Naas 19 days ago; others might be better treated anyway; tongue-tie joins regular cheekpieces. |

Dual winner in France over 1m2f on soft ground last year and third in Longchamp Listed final start; made 395,000euros at the sales last July and ran no sort of race on yard debut in Naas Listed in March; tongue tie now tried and others preferred. |
