3rd 13 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Irish handicapper whose AW double in Britain this year has taken his record since being gelded to 3-6; improving and can't be dismissed, despite being a stone higher than for last turf attempt (which he won). |
10/1 |

1st 9 (1) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Made it 2-5 since being gelded when winning at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) a fortnight ago; he's won twice on Polytrack at Dundalk; this in-form Irish challenger holds solid claims up 4lb for last time. |

1st 11 (2) |

Irish 4yo whose strike-rate is 3-14; has form figures of 1243 since being gelded, the success on turf and other efforts on Dundalk AW (dual winner there previously); each-way squeak on seasonal debut. |

18th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Encouraging fourth in a Leopardstown maiden on debut; possibly didn't handle very testing ground at Galway on next outing; slowly away when never involved at Naas last month; half-brother and dam were both AW winners; could improve on the Polytrack on handicap debut. |

By a useful sire and ran respectably on debut at Leopardstown over this trip, showing some greenness; likely to have improved from that and can be more closely involved today. |

9st 2lb |
Third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, 1 3/4l off runner-up California Dreamer; sprang 33-1 success surprise in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot; no match for the front-running Whirl when stepped up 1m2f in the Nassau; coped well considering she was the outsider of five and running on ground that contrasted sharply with the quick surface she enjoyed at Royal Ascot. |

Breakthrough win came in Naas handicap (6f) in May but well held when upped in grade twice since; lots to find back in Group company and at 7f. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won his maiden here and added a rated race at the Curragh two weeks ago (7f, soft); nudged up 3lb but for that but it seems a fair rise given the RPR he produced. |
4/1 |
|
5 (3) |
27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 94y |
10st 0lb |
Won a 7f Naas maiden in testing ground in March before a solid run at Cork (1m) behind a quality rival; 6f on fast ground didn't suit last time but back on an easy surface at 7f will and is respected on handicap debut. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Took his mark to a career-high when winning seasonal return here in March over 5f (soft-to-heavy) off 87; stiff task and ran as well as could be expected in good-class Naas Listed following month; has form at 6f/7f so respected back in handicap company. |
12/1 |

8th 4 (11) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Gelded in the off-season and won on seasonal return for the second year running when landing a Curragh handicap (5f, sft-hvy); this is harder and has lots to find on the figures, but he's relatively lightly raced and there could be more to come. |

Returned to action last season with a 5f win in a rated race at Cork (good); lost way subsequently but was running in some hot handicaps; assessor giving him a chance but soft ground may not be ideal. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in. |
10/1 |

17th 13 (11) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 7f (good/good to yielding) winner in Ireland who was soon outpaced before coming home strongly to be beaten a whisker in 5f Scottish Sprint Cup (soft) 12 days ago; that was a really encouraging first go for Jim Goldie and this step back up to 7f should be fine; has to be of interest. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Previously trained in Ireland, winning twice (7.5f/7f) in 2025 before changing hands for 31,000gns; has to prove his effectiveness over a sharp 5f, although his new stable does have a tremendous knack with sprinters. |

10st 7lb |
Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for whom she won at 1m3f and 2m; well held in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas but much better when second to Majolique at Naas and looks capable of holding her own at this level. |

Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for which she signed off with wins at 1m3f and 2m (good/AW); looked in need of the run when seventh of 19 at Leopardstown on hurdle/yard debut at Christmas, will need to improve considerably to play a major role here. |

Of interest on best Irish form but she's struggled in her last five runs including on stable debut here (8.6f) two weeks ago; record is now 0-9 and she needs to turn things around back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

0-14 on turf; best handicap run came last September at Cork when a 1.25l third of ten over 6f (yielding); 6lb lower now and had excuses for poor seasonal comeback latest but might prefer easier ground. |

9st 5lb |
Won back-to-back races at Dundalk last autumn (both 10.5f); also won a 1m handicap here last season (good) off 14lb lower; off since November and stamina to prove for this trip, so probably best watched. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 5lb |
Hit the crossbar when making her handicap debut on return before Gowran win in May and back to form over this C&D more recently; promoted to second after interference on her penultimate start before career best success latest and should remain competitive despite 6lb rise. |
4/1 |
|
6 (9) |
19th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Modest form in maidens last term but confirmed promise of a big run on return when winning over 1m at Gowran in May and bounced back from some lesser efforts when runner-up (promoted from third) over C&D last month; form knocked since but still lightly-raced and first-time cheekpieces may help. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won off lowly mark (42) at Punchestown last September; made the frame on her final two starts before being switched to hurdling; fair form in that sphere, apart from a poor handicap run last time; probably best over further; tongue-tie added now. |
