18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Close second against her own sex in two 1m Group 1s this summer, beaten a head by Fallen Angel on the second occasion; there have been possible excuses on her last two starts, namely cheekpieces then very soft ground, but she's still hard to fancy after those below-par runs; a tongue-tie goes on. |

9st 2lb |
Ended last season with second to Desert Flower in the Fillies' Mile; well beaten in the Irish 1,000 Guineas on reappearance; showed that to be all wrong when third to Cercene in the Coronation and runner-up in the Falmouth; best effort yet when making Fallen Angel pull out all the stops in the Prix Rothschild. |

9st 0lb |
Ballydoyle filly who needed her reappearance run in the Irish 1,000 Guineas; very consistent otherwise and duly bounced back with a good third in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm); the pick of the 3yos on ratings and another step forward is possible; solid. |

10st 0lb |
Won a 6f Curragh maiden (good) on debut; has run creditably without winning in stakes company since; beaten 4.5l on first try at 1m in a listed race at the Curragh on seasonal comeback two weeks ago; should improve for that and not discounted on handicap debut. |

9st 5lb |
Surprise debut winner of 6f maiden here last summer but bit exposed in stakes company afterwards, each time staying on as if a step up in trip will suit (not clear run at Dundalk final start); gelded over the winter and step up in trip should suit but others may have greater scope for improvement. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |
10/1 |

8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago but shaped as though he may have needed that run and he's back in blinkers today, which he wore for the first time when winning at Gowran Park (9.5f, good) in June on his final outing for Joseph O'Brien; interesting. |

5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
1-8 on the turf, the win coming in a 1m4f Limerick maiden last season (1m4f, sft-hvy); decent run in premier handicap at the Curragh last time (1m2f, sft-hvy) but much more needed in this company; well beaten four previous starts in stakes races and stamina to prove. |

8st 13lb |
Highly tried at two; placed over 1m on return last season before landing fillies' maiden at Limerick (1m4f, soft to heavy) in April; never a factor at Listed/Group 1 level after; market will reveal expectations on handicap debut. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Maiden winner on heavy ground who is beginning to look exposed after eight defeats and has come up quite a way short in her subsequent handicaps; others preferred. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
9st 13lb |
1m maiden winner on heavy ground and has performed okay to finish fourth in her subsequent handicaps (1m2f, good/1m1f, soft); looks handicapped about right so the jockey's claim is welcomed. |
4/1 |

Off the mark in heavy-ground Gowran maiden (1m) in April, left with plenty to do following month on quicker ground in Navan premier handicap when staying on fourth (1m2f); remains of interest. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
8st 11lb |
0-14 but has gone close at times; good run from a wide draw in a 7f Leopardstown (yielding to soft) contest, staying on well; another positive effort when third in a Limerick maiden in this headgear latest (1m, yielding); slowly away that day so effort can be marked up; not out of it. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 4lb |
0-13 and rated 77; ground versatile and smart juvenile form included a 4l third on debut at the Curragh behind Lake Victoria and Red Letter; good run from wide draw in 7f Leopardstown handicap latest, staying on well; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; big player. |
5/1 |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

No wins from 12 but went close over 7f at the Curragh in November (heavy); raced from 5lb outside the handicap in the Irish Lincolnshire last time when tailed off (1m, heavy); tongue tie goes on now but others make more appeal. |
