3rd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Showed improved form to record a front-running win in a Navan handicap over this trip on his penultimate start, prompting a 13lb rise in the ratings; dropped away in the final furlong at Cork on latest; has been gelded; not suited by the race conditions. |

Showed improved form to win well from the front at Navan last time over this trip, having raced alone; this is tougher off 13lb higher but could again break free of the pack, so has a serious chance. |

Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |

Ten-race maiden is 0-5 on the AW; best effort a 2.5l defeat over this C&D back in February off 51; may have needed latest poor run over 5f here but she is hard to fancy from 7lb out of the handicap. |

In the first two in four of her last five races, the exception was over in a 5f Naas contest won by Surpass And Shine, with My Girl Sioux third; had the better of the exchange with that dual subsequent winner at Tipperary and Naas; leading chance. |

Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised. |

Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |
