24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Heavy-ground maiden winner in April who raced rather freely in rear when fifth of 11 in Group 2 Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (good to firm) on penultimate start; evens but not discredited, considering 1m2f, when his sights were lowered on latest; blinkers are turned to, however, for this handicap debut and he needs improvement. |

13th Jul 2024 Good 1m 2f 40y |
9st 10lb |
Leopardstown maiden win in April came over this trip on heavy; highly-tried since, never landing a blow when slow-starting fourth in Gallinule at the Curragh and again when 61/2l off stablemate Illinois in 1m6f Queen's Vase at Ascot on fast ground; big-race entries remain over further so drop in trip here may not suit although clearly the one to beat on RPR's. |

9st 12lb |
Justify colt who cost $1.1million as a yearling; significant promise in his two runs last season (on sound surfaces) and probably wasn't helped by the heavy ground when second to an unexposed stablemate in a 1m2f maiden here a month ago, yet still finished ahead of Invention; boasts several high-profile entries and this mark could well underestimate his potential. |

Galileo half-brother to Irish Oaks second Rain Goddess; has run well in all his races and last time chased home a very well handicapped horse at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); goes on this ground and looks solid each-way. |

Galileo half-brother to Irish Oaks second Rain Goddess; has finished closer in each of his runs, on reappearance here over 1m2f never far away and boxing on for third (just behind Ortelius); unexposed on this quicker ground and he looks certain to benefit for going 1m4f. |

11st 12lb |
Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown last June on good ground; placed in novice events at Bellewstown and Galway; failed to sustain that form in two outings before being left off in the autumn; Flat win over 1m4f came after a lengthy break, so could go well here. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Won 4yo maiden hurdle at Punchestown in June (16.5f, good); made a race of it with the hugely promising Davy Crockett on penultimate at Galway; disappointing run on handicap debut at Ballinrobe (18.5f) on latest; not sure this step up in trip will suit. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |

Dual-purpose sort won 2m1f Punchestown maiden hurdle in June and has posted similar RPR's when second both starts since, in 2m1f novices at Bellewstown and Galway, each time forcing pace; jumping remains open to improvement as he enters handicaps. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 77y |
10st 2lb |
Career-best success at Leopardstown (1m2f, good) on return but beaten favourite at the Curragh when ninth of 19 and failed to beat a rival back at Leopardstown since; off 84 days and any market support worth noting returning to this trip. |

9st 9lb |
Tipperary maiden winner last year; returned from a break to win easily at this track in April (1m2f, good); raised 8lb and didn't back it up last time at the Curragh; he is still of interest returned to the scene of his win. |

Tipperary maiden winner a year ago and went close on handicap debut at the Galway festival; form dipped subsequently but returned with a facile Leopardstown success on first run since a gelding procedure and an 8lb rise is fair; may come on for that run and has to be high on the shortlist. |

Much improved on third maiden outing to score over just shy of this trip at Gowran last month, making all to beat a subsequent winner on good ground, seeing it out well; fair step up in grade here though. |

Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f and runner-up in three of last four starts last term; plenty to take from seasonal return at Gowran in April when fourth to Holy See (1m4f, soft), rallying again late on; one to consider. |

In the reapplied blinkers he beat a fair yardstick at Huntingdon just before Christmas (2m, good to soft) but no shows since then, in a visor and blinkers; looks risky with cheekpieces now turned to. |

Displayed considerable improvement when switched to handicap hurdles in March, more notably when drawing 10l clear to collect good prize at Ascot (1m7f, good) in March; not in same form on sole appearance during the summer but further progress is not yet out of the question. |
