4th 4 (2) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 110y |
9st 5lb |
Beat the top-class Delacroix in a Leopardstown Group 2 as a 2yo (1m, good); sixth in the 2,000 Guineas before making all in a Leopardstown Listed race in June (1m1f, good); respectable efforts in the Irish Derby here (1m4f, good) and in a York Group 2 (10.5f, good); shaped as though he would improve over his return in a Group 3 here last time when fading into fourth (1m2f, soft); a good bit to find with the top ones here all the same. |

9st 5lb |
Beat the top-class Delacroix in Group 2 at Leopardstown at two (1m, good); sixth in 2,000 Guineas before making all in Listed race at Leopardstown last June (1m1f, good); respectable sixth in the Irish Derby (1m4f, good); front-running effort petered out when fourth in York Group 2 event, though was best of the Classic generation; should make a smart middle distance 4yo. |

4th 9 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is progressive in the main; justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (good to yielding) most recently, taking his form figures over 1m2f to 11121 and overall strike-rate to 6-11; unable to match Ombudsman's late acceleration in the International but had got up late on to collar that rival in the Eclipse and is set for another gripping rematch. |
3/1 |

1st 5 (8) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won two Derby trials over C&D and bounced back from Epsom failure to win the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); deserved much credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on, having found trouble in running in the straight; beaten by the same top-class rival at York; reputation largely restored all the same; major player for stable denied six in a row in this last year. |
10/11 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Derby trials this spring and bounced back from Derby disappointment to win the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he deserves immense credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on last time having found trouble in running in the straight and got behind, and it was a performance that suggests he could take plenty of beating today. |

8th 2 (10) |
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 |

6th 4 (3) |
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. |
