17th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
2024 Dewhurst runner-up on soft; highly tried in a three-run campaign last season, which never really took off; seasonal return was much more positive when coming home strongly from off the pace in a Leopardstown Listed contest (1m, yielding to soft) to take the runner-up spot behind a better-fancied stablemate; big player but this better ground is a small concern. |

2024 Dewhurst runner-up on soft; ran way below that level in two Guineas attempts on better ground last spring; faded after showing up early at Newmarket, always behind at the Curragh after a slow start; failed to run to expectations when unplaced favourite for a C&D Listed race last September. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Gowran Park maiden (1m, good) in May (runner-up has won since); came up well short in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot latest; this is more realistic; can't dismiss on handicap debut. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Tad frustrating in maiden races until improving for first-time tongue-tie at Gowran Park (1m, good) most recently, opening his account with a ready win from the front; faces a markedly stiffer task upped in class and is possibly in here as pacemaker for the yard's main hope Henri Matisse. |

9th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 1f 130y |
9st 9lb |
Very promising Curragh debut in 2024 when 0.5l behind subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Expanded; beaten 1l in 1m course maiden on this card last year on seasonal return; runner-up on return at Dundalk 13 days ago after being gelded; should go close in first-time visor. |

Very promising Curragh debut in 2024 when 0.5l behind subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Expanded; beaten 1l in a Gowran maiden in April last year on seasonal return (1m, yielding); decent fourth in a 1m1f Leopardstown maiden when last seen in August (good); gelded since then and top chance if sufficiently ready. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Decent form on both outings within three weeks last October, speed throughout when a close fourth at the Curragh and then not clear run in weaker Dundalk contest when beaten 2l; Irish 2,000 Guineas entry and won't need to improve too much to play a major role. |

6-1 for his debut at the Curragh over 7f and only faded late, beaten roughly 1l; winner from that contest was beaten a neck in the Dewhurst subsequently and he's a likely improver switched to AW; has Irish 2,000 Guineas entry. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Appreciated the step up in trip to 1m4f-plus when winning at Thurles on his final start last season; ex-Dermot Weld; further improvement possible for his new trainer; this may not be far enough to bring out the best in him. |

1st 3 (1) |
9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |
9st 3lb |
Eight-race maiden and one of his better recent efforts when beaten 3l in a Gowran claimer last time out; two previous efforts over further than 1m haven't been encouraging so new trip is the main concern but stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Not particularly solid on his 7f/1m form for a few yards since leaving Ballydoyle; chance largely depends on the effects of new trip and first-time tongue-tie. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Successful in autumn handicap on final start for Aidan O'Brien; far from solid on his form for three different yards since, most recently posting a duck egg in the Spring Cup on debut for this one; best watched. |

Has had several trainers in his short career to date; two 7f wins for Aidan O'Brien; not at his best on his last three outings, never dangerous at Kempton on latest (sole run for James Ferguson); probably best watched. |

Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

Started the season well when third at Cork and then winning for the first time at Gowran (1m, heavy); 10lb higher now but shaped better than finishing position suggests off this mark at the Curragh latest (7f, good); interesting stepped back up in trip. |

No impact in maidens but strung together three decent handicap efforts including a 0.5l second at Down Royal (10.5f, good) off 62 on penultimate; below par at Navan off revised mark latest; more needed back in a maiden. |

Galway winner for Dermot Weld last summer; first win for new stable (third attempt) when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Newbury last week (1m, good) and he escapes a penalty for that apprentice-race success; of obvious interest dropped into a Class 6. |

0-6 for his previous trainer; made an immediate impact for this team with a C&D win last October; runner-up to the progressive Nikki Swango on next start; third behind Bucky Larason on final 2025 start; first-time cheekpieces; could go well after a short break. |

26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground. |

Most consistent since switched to the AW in October (1332321; most under Laura Coughlan) with the wins at Wolverhampton over 9.4f and 7f; creeping up the weights and although he had a 1m2f turf win last September, there is something for him to prove in this discipline. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |

Is 0-7 but not beaten far in three of last four starts; had Linger For Longer 0.5l behind when a keeping on fifth of 21 at Cork last time out (7f, soft); dropped 1lb and not out of this if the new cheekpieces eke out a bit more improvement. |
