9st 2lb |
Building up a useful CV and his comfortable all-the-way Group 3 win at the Curragh (1m2f, good/yielding) last month was a personal best; galloped on strongly that day and should stay this extra 2f; another plausible candidate for Aidan O'Brien. |

9st 3lb |
Dual winner at two is a useful colt but it's been tricky to find a spot for him this term; runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh in May and placed in Listed contest at Deauville in August, both times over this trip, and not shamed in very valuable Grade 3 at Kentucky Downs last time when tried in cheekpieces (left off here); handles easy ground well and should be involved. |

9st 2lb |
Two easy 2yo wins (minor races) and runner-up in Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh (1m2f, good to yielding) last month; however, he was no match for the winner and doesn't appear to be progressing; something to find. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Placed in Group 3/Listed races last year for Edward O'Grady and bolted up in handicap at Epsom (1m2f, good to soft) last month on second start for this yard; unable to reproduce that form in Listed race at Royal Ascot but maybe didn't handle the fast ground; could go well if conditions suit. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Placed at Group 3 and Listed level last year; recorded a really smart handicap performance when making his second start for Richard Fahey a winning one on reappearance at the recent Epsom Derby meeting (1m2f, good to soft), pulling 4l clear; a fairly quick turnaround is a slight worry after such a big effort but he's bang there on form; has raced only on going softer than good. |

6th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 17y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won Leopardstown maiden (1m, heavy) last April on debut for Edward O'Grady; minor honours in his two Group 3s and three Listed events, on last two occasions bang there on testing ground over about 1m4f in France (stable debut latest); starts new season gelded and needs a second look. |

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. |
13/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
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. |

Four-time winner at 7f/1m, including two late-season Listed events at this venue on heavy ground; returned with fair seventh of 25 behind Ribee in the Irish Lincoln; appeared not to stay 1m2f in another premier handicap at the Curragh on latest |

Brother to Churchill; struggled in two Pattern races since making a winning start at Dundalk (1m) but he was never ideally positioned to challenge at the Curragh last time (1m); had three months off since then and probably capable of better. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Failed to progress after winning a maiden for Dermot Weld but it's been a bright start for his new connections and he only narrowly failed last time at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft); that was a Class 4 so this is tougher, but respected nonetheless. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (7) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Failed to progress for Dermot Weld but this lightly raced 5yo was a promising fourth at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on his recent stable and seasonal debut; could have more to offer for this yard; on the shortlist. |
9/4 |
