Unbeaten in two races at two; going was heavy for Group 1 Saint-Cloud win from stablemate Mount Kilimanjaro; missed all of last season; a fascinating runner on the comeback trail now. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
It was his first run above Listed class when making the running in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, finishing last of ten; once more set for pacemaking duties, to assist stablemate Minnie Hauk. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring. |

7th 4 (7) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Three-time winner including a rated race last June over C&D (good); promising effort on seasonal return over C&D when 3l fifth to stablemate The Lion In Winter in the Listed Heritage Stakes, half a length behind Tokenomics and just in front of Lord Massusus; rated 100 and improvement is required. |

Four runs for Mike Murphy have yielded three heavy defeats and a shock 1m2f win at Windsor in May; opposable on balance of form. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
In his third yard since leaving Aidan O'Brien last autumn; third run for current trainer when upped to 1m2f and tongue tied first time at Windsor (good to firm) last month, starting 50-1 in a six-runner race but leading 1f out and narrowly holding off two challengers; back up just 1lb but this is another new trip and it's a vastly more competitive race. |
66/1 |

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. |

0-10 on the Flat but runner-up five times; returns to this scene on the back of two hurdle wins, the latest a valuable handicap at Listowel; well drawn for one who likes to be up there and should give a good account. |

Useful Flat maiden (rated 77) and placed in all four maiden hurdles at 2m, most recently over C&D last month, mistake two out not helping his cause when beaten over 4l into third; has his chance again but is proving a bit frustrating. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 90y |
9st 5lb |
Pushed the classy Henri Matisse close on debut at the Curragh (6f) last year and returned from a gelding operation to win his maiden at Leopardstown (1m1f, good); will need to be better than his mark of 93 to land this but that's feasible. |

1st 4 (7) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Short-headed by the classy Henri Matisse on debut at the Curragh (6f) in May 2024; didn't replicate that on his only start since at this venue (7f, soft) last October; has been gelded and a tongue tie is reached for; market should reveal expectations after another layoff. |

19th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 7f 30y |

Huge run on debut when beaten a short head by Henri Matisse (dual Group 2 winner since); subsequent absence a concern but further should suit and ground likely fine too; has to be high on the shortlist; yard's first-string. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Got off the mark when winning a Killarney maiden over 1m recently; has run well over C&D before so should be fine on that score; the tongue-tie worn last time is retained; a player. |
4/1 |

1st 7 (1) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Concerning that he has failed to build on his debut second behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in a 7f juvenile maiden at the Curragh; ran only twice last season, and his best effort was when second at Gowran on the first occasion; same pattern this season, fair second at Dundalk before falling to improve at Gowran, perhaps a tongue-tie will make the difference |

9st 3lb |
3yo who has improved with each of his six runs, going close in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m, good) in August and winning a Group 2 there (1m, good to yielding) last month; today's company demands a further chunk of improvement but he might be dangerous to rule out in view of his progressive profile. |

Lightly raced 3yo won C&D maiden in April and coped well with rise in class when second to Skukuza in Curragh Listed and staying on second to front-running Johan in Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D last month; gives impression a more strongly-run 1m will suit, unproven on ground this soft. |
9/2 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Shaped quite well in a late-season 7f maiden here; won C&D maiden in April; coped well with rise in class when third in a 1m Listed event at the Curragh in May; surpassed that form when second to the Ed Dunlop-trained Skukuza at the same venue in June; Ben Coen's choice over Chicago Critic. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who was a good fourth at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and York's Ebor meeting (1m2f, good to soft) prior to winning at Chester (1m2f, soft) a fortnight ago; might not be far away under 4lb penalty. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Both wins at about 1m; he wasn't exactly strong through the line when trying this far at York but was beaten under 2l in a deep 20-runner handicap so there's no knocking that effort; every chance off an untouched mark. |
4/1 |

4th 17 (6) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |

Winner at Epsom (8.5f, good) in April; best run since when close fourth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) three weeks ago; can race freely but the Goodwood effort suggests 1m2f could be within range; enters calculations. |

Won twice on turf in the spring and has finished runner-up at Yarmouth (11.4f, good to firm) and Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) in two of his last three runs; now returns to AW but he's unexposed in this sphere and has claims if he can continue the good work. |

In good form in this visor, finishing second at Carlisle (1m3f, good) then first at Southwell (1m3f, AW), and the drop back to 1m2f looked against him here last time; still looks on a workable mark and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

Had a visor on for the first time when finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m3f, good) in July and went one better at Southwell (1m3f, AW) four weeks ago, gaining his first success for this stable; a 3lb rise looks fair. |

Well beaten in three maidens but much improved in first-time blinkers on handicap debut at Galway in October, making up good ground inside final furlong to win going away (7f, heavy); hammered with 13lb rise for that but seems likely to improve further at 1m and has to be respected on AW debut. |
