28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Ended his 2yo campaign with a Group 1 win, beating Delacroix in the William Hill Futurity; no wins last year, but managed a fine third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and a fair fourth in the Irish Champion Stakes (1m2f); too keen when attempting 1m4f in the Arc; can win races at four and this appeals as a suitable starting point if his fitness holds up. |

Beat Delacroix in last year's Futurity at Doncaster; has failed to make a major impact this season, including behind Delacroix in the Eclipse; did not have much luck in running before staying on late in the Saratoga Derby six weeks ago; up against it. |

Much the most experienced of the field, placed three times in Curragh maidens, notably clear second to a subsequent Group 3 winner; didn't seem to get home under an aggressive ride down in trip on latest and cheekpieces now tried. |

25th Apr 2025 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
By Wootton Bassett out of Galileo mare; won maiden at Naas (7f, good) on second start as 2yo and front-running second of five in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) later in July; not seen afterwards; the one who beat him last time was Group 1 Futurity winner Hotazhell and this representative of the strongest team around clearly needs major respect. |

Needed the run when third behind Hotazhell on debut at the Curragh (7f, good); just did enough when winning at Naas over the same trip this month; had Mano Chicago behind but needs to find more improvement to win this; stable second string on jockey bookings. |

9st 12lb |
Ran well in pair of good maidens over 7f; didn't get home on first try at 1m in another hot maiden at Leopardstown but too early to say he doesn't stay this trip and has been gelded. |

Decent level of ability on both outings over 7f, staying on third here in May and raced handier at the Curragh, losing third late on; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this step up in trip. |

Signs of ability in all three runs last season (7f-1m) but not as good this season at Dundalk and Leopardstown, didn't seem to stay 1m5f on latest; cheekpieces worn last time retained and drops back in trip. |

Signs of ability in all three runs last season (7f-1m), the best his middle one when third of 11 in a 1m maiden at this venue; got a bump at the start on reappearance at Dundalk; capable of better; first-time cheekpieces. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Down the field over 6f and then in a higher grade than this on last two starts but he has more going for him back over C&D, having won his first attempt last August (good) and then quite readily in May (good to firm); solid claims for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, surging back to form when scoring there on good to firm last month; a lesser run over 6f has followed but a revival isn't ruled out back at 7f from a good draw. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 182y Class 3 |
8st 4lb |
Both wins have come over 7f at Ayr, and he surged back to form when scoring there ten days ago; still lightly raced, in excellent hands, and should be at least as effective over this trip on a stiff track; a danger to all at the foot of the weights. |

Won at Newbury (1m, good) in May on third start for this yard and followed up when unpenalised at Yarmouth (1m, good) five days later; runner-up off this 6lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) last time, when outstayed, and he could play a leading role back down to 1m. |
