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. |

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. |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |
13/2 |

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. |
