9st 12lb |
Ran well in pair of good maidens over 7f; didn't get home on first try at 1m in another hot maiden at Leopardstown but too early to say he doesn't stay this trip and has been gelded. |

Decent level of ability on both outings over 7f, staying on third here in May and raced handier at the Curragh, losing third late on; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this step up in trip. |

7f is his trip but he doesn't arrive in the best of form and he's unproven on the AW (down the field only attempt); carries risks. |

21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
All three wins over 7f at Ayr on good and good to firm; nearly all his best form is on those surfaces and has work to do on the form of just two 6f handicaps in Britain. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
8st 8lb |
Ended 2025 in poor form on AW and was always behind when reappearing at Chester (7f) in July; continues to slide down the weights but he has plenty to prove after another break; cheekpieces reapplied. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien but he struggled last season at trips ranging from 5f to 2m; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's now 1-16 and needs a major revival after 202 days off. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Well beaten on his last two starts, over C&D (soft) most recently, but he has a good record here and he won at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) three starts ago; also effective on slow ground; not discounted. |
11/1 |

6th 6 (7) |
17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Plenty of good efforts since the blinkers went on, including an all-the-way win over C&D (good to firm; acts on soft) in June; also made all over 1m1f at Musselburgh towards the end of August and it may be worth forgiving a lesser effort at Carlisle last week after a slowish start meant he was unable to take up his usual front-running role (also pulled too hard); C&D form figures of 23122 earn him a place on the shortlist. |
10/1 |

10th 3 (4) |
9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
He was gaining his second win of the summer when making all in a 1m1f handicap at Musselburgh 16 days ago; up 3lb but won't mind what the weather does and he'll be fine back at 7f; high on the list. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Some positive efforts in his ten Flat runs; went close in a Curragh nursery last September off 72; returned from a break with a 2.5l third at Limerick in July when hampered by a faller and catching the attention of the stewards; below that level at Galway later that month; makes stable debut and an interesting contender. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |
8st 10lb |
Third runner for yard; went close in a 7f nursery at the Curragh last September off this rating; back to form when hampered by fallers and catching the attention of the stewards at Limerick 16 days ago; tongue tie is added to cheekpieces; can't discount off the same mark. |
10/1 |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 70y |
9st 6lb |
Went closest to scoring on nursery debut over 7f at the Curragh last year but has been below that level in three starts at 1m since; the step up in trip on faster ground with cheekpieces needs to help. |

Ran well in defeat in three starts at Listed and Group 3 level this term inc when fourth over C&D in May; had Bonnie Moon and Butterfly Wings behind her when fourth over 1m5f at Navan on penultimate start; no-show in a Cork Group 3 last time when Butterfly Wings finished in front of her (1m4f, good to yielding). |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-18 under all codes but was placed on all three hurdling starts for this stable in August/September and also ran well when third of four (just behind Golly Gosh) on recent chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm; first-time hood); below form the only previous time he wore cheekpieces but still features prominently in calculations. |
3/1 |

3rd 2 |
5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; placed on all three hurdling starts for current stable, losing out only by a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) on second occasion; not bred for fences and unraced over this far but could be hard to beat in this modest race if his jumping is adequate; hooded for first time. |
5/4 |
|
3rd 3 |
24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-16 but early days with this yard and he's due a 6lb rise after going down by a short head at Sedgefield ten days ago (2m1f, good); he was clear of the third that day; clear claims. |

Went close in a couple of maidens either side of finishing last in the Chesham; beaten 17l on handicap debut last time in first-time blinkers (replaced by cheekpieces worn previously here) and he's the type to bounce back. |
