22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Debut winner at two on soft and later beat this year's 1,000 Guineas heroine True Love in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes (6f, good); no more than minor roles in three 1m Group 1s this season before justifying favouritism when his sights were lowered in a Curragh Group 2 last month (7f, good to firm); he didn't exactly blow his rivals away that day and he's probably playing for the places, for all that a fast-run race at 7f might be his ideal scenario these days. |

1st 7 (5) |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won a Group 1 over 6f here on his final juvenile start (good); runner-up behind subsequent Royal Ascot and Group 1 winner on his reappearance in a Group 3 over 7f at Leopardstown in April (good to yielding); probably not up to the top level as shown in three Group 1 runs over 1m since, but his latest two were meritable; big danger dropping in class and trip; top rated of the field too; stable a little cold currently though. |

11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 3lb |
Showed ability on all three maiden starts at 5f-7f, including on soft; failed to beat a rival home in C&D Group 3 next time; nearer last than first on Curragh handicap debut; cheekpieces need to spark a revival. |

Showed ability in all three maiden starts at 5f-7f on soft, good and good to yielding ground; failed to beat a rival home stepped into Group 3 company at Leopardstown latest (7f, gd-yld); could do better now tackling a handicap for the first time. |

Some promise on Curragh debut in March but two runs since well below that level; likely more one for nurseries in due course. |

Third, beaten 7l in the opening 2yo maiden of the season over 5f here but was way below that level 12 days later at Dundalk; freshened up since and has to resume improvement. |

Lucky Vega colt a 37,000euros yearling; third foal; dam 5f/6f winner (inc 2yo/Listed; RPR 102), sister to winners Promising (Group-placed 6f) and Kaser (8.6f-10.4f); some debut promise here last month, showing pace for much of way before fading when beaten 10l over 5f; this looks a stronger maiden so lots of improvement needed. |
