9st 9lb |
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 |

Very promising Curragh debut in 2024 when 0.5l behind subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Expanded; beaten 1l in 1m course maiden on this card last year on seasonal return; runner-up on return at Dundalk 13 days ago after being gelded; should go close in first-time visor. |

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. |

Inconsistent 15-race maiden but he made some eyecatching late progress when fourth here (1m3f) two weeks ago; finished behind Night Bear in that race but he could be dangerous back up in trip. |

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. |

3rd 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 1lb |
Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |

9st 7lb |
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; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

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 here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement (from a handicap low of 62 to his present 98) when beating 24 rivals in last Sunday's Irish Lincoln; suited by the ground and the only runner with race-fitness; has to be taken seriously, although others have stronger claims at these weights. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Most consistent since joining this yard (314323112) and was only beaten half a length by Party Island in his hat-trick bid at Bath (1m2f, firm) last month; despite that latest effort a bit of rain wouldn't come amiss; stable also runs Brodie's Boy. |
