Off the mark in a 1m Killarney maiden; poor in a handicap since; this trip a question. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 1lb |
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. |

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 |

3yo has run respectably on last three starts in maiden company; weakened after making the running at Listowel latest (1m, heavy); probably needs more in first turf handicap. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
No wins from 13 runs but has placed in six of them, including when a 3l second in a Galway maiden in July (7f, yielding); below his best at Gowran earlier this month; well exposed at this stage and likely to find a few too good. |

Placed in six of his 12 starts, including at Galway on latest, when he overhauled Men Of Honour to take second; well exposed at this stage; should be thereabouts but may again find one or two too good. |

Showed potential when keeping on for fourth in a 1m maiden at Gowran early last month; lost out by only a nose to the Aidan O'Brien-trained Gun Carriage at Killarney, with 4 1/2l back to third and a subsequent winner in fourth; should be hard to beat now. |

Hasn't looked well handicapped since winning his maiden last September, but ran a fair race last time over 1m1f and returning to further should be beneficial. |

Went too high in the ratings after a wide-margin Gowran maiden win last autumn; however, he managed several good efforts in May/June and can make his presence felt in this grade |

Too high in the ratings since a Gowran maiden win last autumn; however, he ran well over 1m4f here on latest, form boosted when runner-up Obscenity continued a good spell of form with a Gowran success. |

Rapid improver last year, winning three times in testing ground; carried that forward to this term when taking the Irish Lincoln here in March; some decent runs in defeat since; ground against him when down the field in the Irish Cambridgeshire; needs rain. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; early-season form also included second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; unplaced twice in Listed races this term; handicap form gives him a leading chance; drawn low. |

No impact in maidens but strung together three decent handicap efforts including a 0.5l second at Down Royal (10.5f, good) off 62 on penultimate; below par at Navan off revised mark latest; more needed back in a maiden. |

Behind Academe and Whats New at Gowran last time after starting slowly (1m1f, good); that was his first run after being gelded and gives him a foundation to build on; blinkers replace the previously added cheekpieces. |

His two best displays (third of 15 and fifth of 15) were achieved at this track last season; recent form raises doubts; hood added now to tongue-tie. |

Ran well when a 5.5l third over C&D (good) on handicap debut last May and 9lb lower now; off since 10l defeat at Dundalk in January; a repeat of that C&D run last season would give him a squeak. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Has form figures of 14323112253 since Boxing Day and that latest third was a good effort from a wide draw at Wolverhampton; still looks on a workable mark and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf; yard also runs Palazzo Persico. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |

Both AW wins have been at this track, one over today's distance; has shot up the weights since as a result of further success on turf; in good order at present, however, and shouldn't be far away. |
4/1 |

5th 5 (7) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Gained his second success for this yard when winning at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) in March and followed up at Bath (1m, good to soft) next time; runner-up in both starts since (1m2f) but this consistent sort still needs to prove he stays this far. |
