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. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
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. |

Won her maiden over C&D on good ground last year for Jack Davison; an improved performer this season, winning twice (including back here) and outrunning her odds of 50-1 in a 6f Group 3 at Naas four weeks ago; races prominently and could prove tough to reel in back at 5f, for all that she's in against her elders this time. |

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 |

23rd May 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Two wins at Wolverhampton (7f) since joining Ivan Furtado, the second of them off this mark in a small field in May; well held in two Class 4 events since; needs to raise his game. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 127y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Made a bright start to life for Ivan Furtado on the AW this season, bagging a pair of 7f Wolverhampton handicaps; not so good back on turf with 15th in 7f York handicap so needs to bounce back. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Has been busy on the AW, winning over this trip at Wolverhampton in March and May; most recent success came in a weakish race and he's now up 6lb and back on turf (unplaced all five starts); enough doubts. |

8st 12lb |
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. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
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. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |

Third time lucky in a 6f maiden at Fairyhouse and then won a 5f Listed at Tipperary with a nice bit in hand (good); this demands a further jolt of improvement but she's progressing and Jamie Spencer rides. |

9st 8lb |
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. |
