Lost a Group 3 in the stewards room earlier this year; odds-on when beaten in a handicap at Naas (1m2f, good) and never got involved from off the pace when tried hooded in a Group 3 on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown (1m4f); might yet be capable of better. |

Looked good in winning his maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) and was first past the post in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh only to be demoted for causing interference; again wandered for pressure when eighth in another Group 3 at Royal Ascot and no surprise to see him now gelded; into his first handicap here and retains significant potential. |

Rated 113 after six runs over timber; leading claims on best efforts which include placed efforts at Navan (2m, heavy) and Fairyhouse (2m, soft); yard won this last year but good ground a big concern and has to prove stamina too in first-time blinkers; heavy defeat on the Flat at Galway 30 days ago. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |

Came good at the third attempt when beating two market leaders in a 1m2f maiden on good ground at Navan in June; set a tough task in a Group 3 race at Naas later that month; her sights are lowered considerably, and she appeals as a relatively unexposed filly in her first handicap. |

11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |

Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |
