9st 3lb |
Won the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) in August and Listed runner-up at Dundalk (7f, AW) three weeks ago; however, in between those he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Dancing Gemini in a Listed race here (7f, soft) and he's down the pecking order today. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
0-8 since his winning debut as 2yo for Aidan O'Brien; six starts for this yard and four were Class 2 handicaps but he didn't fare any better in a 1m2f Class 3 at Sandown (40-1) and whether he can take advantage of a small-field Class 4 today has to be in doubt; hooded this season except today. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
0-7 since his winning debut at two for Aidan O'Brien; has contested strong Class 2 handicaps since being gelded last summer (hooded) but was beaten about 10l on both occasions; others appeal more. |
50/1 |

4th 10 (8) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Useful ex-Irish winner but he's offered little in a handful of runs for his current yard, beating just two in 1m Newbury handicap on his recent return; others are much preferred. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |
4/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien in his early days; his three wins this year have all been in claimers at Dundalk (6f-1m) but he travelled smoothly before winning with plenty in hand last time; with another new yard now but he remains well treated on old form and is not ruled out back in a handicap. |
6/1 |

1st 5 (1) |
26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won at two and three for Ballydoyle; won claimers here over 1m and 6f in February; coughing post-race when disappointing odds-on favourite in 7f claimer here in March; been given time to recover and looks a big player. |
7/4 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Seeking a hat-trick of claiming wins here after wins at a mile and 6f last month, latest under today's rider last month, overcoming tardy start when coming late; intermediate trip ideal and the one to beat again. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right. |
16/1 |
|
4th 3 (5) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 3y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh. |
16/1 |

8th 4 (7) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip. |

9st 3lb |
Won the Group 3 Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, heavy) last October and ran best race of this year when Listed runner-up at the Curragh (1m, good) last time; however, he needs a bigger run now back up in grade. |

9th 3 (8) |
27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 5lb |
Top rated in here at 107; running well in higher grades on his last few starts; his last try in Listed company resulted in victory at the Curragh (1m, soft); was only beaten 3.5l in a Group 2 on latest and he has to hold big claims here if handling the surface on AW debut. |
