20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 10lb |
Highly tried after winning debut (5f, soft) in Curragh maiden last March, well held in Group 3's at Naas and Curragh; last month's return to action here (behind Dawn Flame) didn't offer much and takes another step up in trip. |

Winning favourite on Curragh debut (5f, soft); wasn't disgraced in 6f Naas Group 3 next time behind the exciting Lady Iman; tailed off behind Albert Einstein in Group 3 Marble Hill at the Curragh last May; 243-day absence; stable/handicap/AW debut; trip an unknown. |

Winning favourite on debut over 5f at this venue; form was boosted by the runner-up Oh Cecilia at Cork; ignored in the market in a six-runner Group 3 event at Naas last Sunday, made the running to two out before fading into the fourth behind the exciting Lady Imam. |

9st 2lb |
In good form this season since joining this yard, winning twice and career-best second in Group 3 Lacken Stakes over C&D in May (good); well below that level however both starts since at Listed level (hung left latest); visor now replaces hood. |

In good form this season since joining this yard; started the campaign with a Naas handicap win off 72 (5f, soft) and now rated 101; beaten a head by Havana Anna in Naas Group 3 on penultimate; jockey reported she stopped quickly when last at Cork latest; capable of better but risky after that. |

Dream Ahead gelding cost 16,000euros as a yearling; half-brother to winners Verhoyen (5.5f-7f inc AW; RPR 102), Henshaw (7f 2yo; 78) and Melodramatica (7f AW inc 2yo; 75); dam 1m4f winner (83); promising debut here back in March on soft ground but not so effective both starts since on better ground; cheekpieces fitted |

Was a close third over 5f (sft) on debut at this track but was below that level since at Tipperary; this extra furlong can suit but needs to find more. |

Has gained both wins at Wolverhampton, latest off current mark in small field in May; out of sorts on turf/AW since, latterly for new stable; revival is required. |

In good form at 7f on AW in the spring, winning two of first four starts for previous yard, but he was well beaten back on the AW for new yard last month and is no sure thing to recapture form back at 6f. |

Made all to win a small-field Listed event at Tipperary last July (5f, good); two defeats afterwards came over 6f in Group 3 company; made seasonal return in a Listed race at Bath in April (5f, good) but was well beaten; makes handicap debut now and rider's 7lb claim is a help. |

Made all to win a small-field Listed event at Tipperary last July (5f, good; unpenalised); two defeats afterwards came over 6f in Group 3 company; dropping back to 5f won't be a problem; not discounted. |

Progressive filly followed up 6f Fairyhouse maiden win with defeat of First Approach and Fresh Fade in 5f Listed Tipperary Stakes, making all; didn't quite get home when beaten 3.5l in Group Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot on latest; possibly better than she showed at Ascot but stiff 6f here could find her out. |

Won a 5f Tipperary maiden on debut last year, beating a subsequent Listed winner; didn't really go on from that after a break in 2025; best run this term came over 5f at Cork last time; needs to show he is as good over this trip. |

Tipperary maiden winner last season (5f, yielding); not far behind a few of these when fifth at Naas on penultimate (6f, good); held by stablemate Treasure Royal in 6f premier handicap back there on latest; drop to 5f and easier ground a plus; not discounted. |
