24th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Tailed off on soft (sole run in blinkers); off the mark in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f handicap, good) in June and added a Shergar Cup race in a good scrap at Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; Champagne Prince closing fast in second) two weeks ago; 5lb higher than last time but shapes as if he will stay 1m6f and enters calculations. |

10th Aug 2024 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal (1m5f handicap, good) in June; there's some concern about today's mark, though, as his apparent best form came when playing a minor role in a non-handicap (penultimate start); soft ground and blinkers (usual cheekpieces return today) may help to excuse his Galway run eight days ago but others are preferred. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Markedly progressive overall when trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off with an always-prominent fourth of 16 at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands before a respectable show at Goodwood ten weeks ago; while going beyond 1m6f for the first time looks worth a go, it's hard to know whether it will help sufficiently to win this top handicap. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Markedly progressive overall trained by Natalia Lupini in Northern Ireland, rounding it off on last two outings with fourth of six in slowly run Listed race at Navan (1m6f, soft) in April and always-prominent fourth of 16 in handicap at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm); changed hands since; respected. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Progressive 3yo last year, close third in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m6f, good) in August and fifth of 22 in handicap there (1m5f, good) in September when on the wrong end of a pace bias; fair fourth of six in slowly run Group 3 in April; could run on to good effect if getting a strong gallop. |

12th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Won at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in February and soft ground and the lack of a recent run were probably against him at Yarmouth last month, when the visor was absent (back on today); however, he was well beaten and it's hard to be optimistic on the back of that. |

17th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 1f 21y Class 3 |
10st 1lb |
Promising start for this yard when beaten 3l at Meydan in January before winning an Abu Dhabi handicap (1m, good) with more in hand than the winning margin; respectable fifth back at Meydan in February but below that form at that track the following month; first start for 194 days and the market may help to assess his prospects. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Easy winner at Chepstow (2m, good) last October and he took a big step back in right direction when seventh of 23 in the County at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft); missed the Scottish Champion Hurdle last month due to heavy ground; still only five and he's 1lb lower than in the County; major player. |

Soft-ground maiden hurdle winner last season; impressed in 4yo handicap at Chepstow (2m, good) on reappearance in October but has failed to shine in his three outings since; has a hood fitted for a second time. |

Won a 1m2f Cork maiden in May for Dermot Weld but not as good since and questions to answer now after two poor runs for this yard; blinkers need to spark a resurgence. |

20-race maiden; in the frame in five of his six course outings including over 1m4f last month; poor run at the Curragh since but respected back here for a yard that get winners in claimers. |

Is frustratingly still a maiden after 19 starts but has run well plenty of times including second over 1m4f at Dundalk last time; this trip suits better; disappointing previous time with cheekpieces; best on good ground. |

27th Sep 2024 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at the eighth attempt in a C&D maiden last week (Ozark Daze behind); much worse off at the weights with that rival back in handicap company; should go well again at a track he likes but may struggle to uphold form with Ozark Daze. |
