9st 3lb |
Prominent racer a three-time winner at 6f on good to yielding and soft/heavy; mixed form since scoring at the Curragh on seasonal return in March off 1lb lower; C&D form figures of 343 so considered but may need softer ground than this. |

Three-time winner at 6f; made all to win on testing ground here in March; solid effort on latest at Cork (7f, sft-hvy) when a 1.5l second of 8; dropped 1lb for that but would prefer softer ground than this. |

Notched a third career win when making all on seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh in March (heavy) but just fair efforts twice since at same venue; yet to win over this far and best form on easier ground so would welcome rain. |

Sligo maiden winner on soft last year and was later runner-up in a Newmarket listed race, both over 6f; by far the best of three runs this term when second in a 6f Naas conditions last time; the blinkers worn then are retained but this trip is a question. |

10st 8lb |
Dual 6f winner in Ireland; 0-8 for this yard but he wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth of six at Hamilton (6f, good to soft; acts on quicker) last month; mark continues to come down and that latest effort suggested he may be rediscovering his level; possibilities. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 5 |

A fair 6f scorer in Ireland last spring for Daniel Murphy; made a promising start for current yard with second at Lingfield (6f) in January but he's failed to build on it, a below-par fourth of seven back at Lingfield (6f) last time. |

Highly tried first time out in a Group 3; justified long odds-on favouritism in a 7f Gowran maiden; flopped when favourite for three-runner Listed race at Salisbury; out of depth in Group 1 at the Curragh latest; interesting handicap debutant; first-time blinkers. |

14th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Highly tried first time out (6f Group 3) and he could have beaten a useful colt (debutant but Group 1-entered) when nicely on top at the finish to justify long odds-on favouritism at Gowran (7f, good); has since bypassed a trio of Group 2 entries on account of unsuitable ground (yielding then good the last twice) and he's clearly very smart; leading Irish stable's only runner here since 2005 was a winner (Cambridge last season). |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Of interest on his good third at Dundalk (5f, Polytrack) in January on final Irish start; fairly encouraging fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; couldn't get into it at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last time and he's just 1-17, but is not written off. |

Yarmouth and Salisbury 6f winner in the spring (good and good to firm) off at least 7lb lower, but diminishing returns in the cheekpieces since and visor is now reached for; she's still that bit more compelling at that sprint trip, regardless of posting one of her better 7f efforts latest. |
