19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish; didn't need to run up to his best when a narrow winner of a Stratford maiden last month (2m, good to firm; 1-2 shot, first run after wind op); well beaten in decent 1m4f York handicap last week; obvious contender on first try at 2m4f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Formerly with Aidan O'Brien and Denis Hogan; well held on the Flat in Ireland this April; had wind surgery after failing to land the odds (bled from nose) in a maiden hurdle in June on debut for Faye Bramley; no mistake at 1-2 in a similar event at Stratford in July, which is far removed from today's task, though, and a big career best is needed on this. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Close second in 1m7f French Group 2 (on very soft) last October remains his best form; he has a competitive handicap mark, though, as he showed when running on well from off the pace to be fourth of 17 to Opportunity at Royal Ascot (1m4f) last time; Ryan Moore stays on board; Irish St Leger entry with strong claims back up in trip. |
7/1 |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
His 1m2f Group 3 run here (40-1) was the only blip from him last season; close second in 1m7f French Group 2 last October looks his best form but his handicap mark has fallen and plenty of ability remains; the biggest question may be whether this trip is now on the short side. |
13/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Consistent last season, going close in 1m2f Group 3 Gallinule Stakes here and later in year twice runner-up in Longchamp Group contests over 1m7f; first two runs this term at 1m6f were creditable, drop back 1m4f didn't suit latest; drops to handicap company and back to ideal trip. |

Trainer, who has a good eye for a bargain and can produce 2yo winners, went to E16,000 at the yearling sales for this lad; half-brother to six winners inc Secret Existence (10.6f AW; RPR 93), Twenty Times (1m2f; 91), Morigny (6f-10.5f inc 2yo; 81) and Ombra Mia (French 1m4f); dam 1m2f turf/10.6f AW winner (71), out of 1m2f-12.5f Listed winner. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; limited on the Flat (0-9; peak RPR 69), and yet to convince over hurdles (0-5; pulled up at Ballinrobe in May); difficult to know what to expect on first start for this trainer following 6,000gns purchase. |

Gave impression something was possibly amiss last time; remains a longstanding maiden but his resurgent May efforts (finished third then close second) suggested a belated first win may be near. |

Gained second turf win at Roscommon in May (10.5f, yielding) off 4lb lower; has come up short twice since off revised mark but ran well off 1lb higher at this meeting last year over 8.5f so not dismissed stepped up in trip in first-time blinkers. |

Showed the benefit of wind surgery when winning three hurdle races on the bounce in May and very nearly defied a 4lb lower mark than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on chase debut; latest race was voided well before the finish; strong claims. |

Vastly improved this summer (after wind surgery) and completed a quick hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) in May; shaped very well on his chasing debut with short-head second of eight in 2m4f handicap here 17 days ago; hiked up 11lb but can regain winning ways. |
