Won twice on turf in Ireland and had competitive form in a handicap at this trip; latest run there in a new tongue-tie was highly respectable and he could be interesting on yard debut with Billy Loughnane booked; AW debut. |

Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms. |

Won at Listowel in June; no impact off revised mark next three starts but then went close at Naas; midfield on his two most recent starts; C&D maiden winner on yielding ground a year ago; all nine races in 2025 have been over further; first-time blinkered. |

Four AW wins (6f-8.5f) but yet to register (0-16) on turf; placed at Nottingham (8.5f, good to firm) in mid July but less competitive at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Beverley (1m2f) since; easing mark isn't enough to tempt. |

Sole win from 17 starts came at Cork (6f, yielding) last September when trained by Gavin Cromwell but she was placed in competitive events last year; ran a solid race at Ayr (6f, good) three days ago and holds claims if backing that up. |

Off the mark in 6f handicap at Cork (yielding) last September; has been placed in big-field handicaps at 6f and 7f for this yard in 2026 and although below best when last seen in June she shouldn't be out of this, especially if the ground deteriorates. |

1-13 with the win coming at Cork in September (6f, yielding) off 60; some positive placed efforts this term at Navan (6f, heavy), Listowel (7f, good) and most recently at Fairyhouse (6f, good); latest run can be marked up because slowly away and was waiting for a gap in the straight; in the mix. |

Finished first past the post on debut at Navan (extended 5f, soft) in 2023 but demoted for interference; unable to replicate the form in three subsequent sprint maidens but the market should be helpful now back from a layoff on handicap debut for new yard. |
