It was his first run above Listed class when making the running in the Group 1 Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) last month, finishing last of ten; once more set for pacemaking duties, to assist stablemate Minnie Hauk. |

No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring. |

Three-time winner including a rated race last June over C&D (good); promising effort on seasonal return over C&D when 3l fifth to stablemate The Lion In Winter in the Listed Heritage Stakes, half a length behind Tokenomics and just in front of Lord Massusus; rated 100 and improvement is required. |

Won his maiden on heavy but handled faster ground when sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; keen and didn't get home (lost shoe) over a mile at Killarney when long odds-on last time and gelded since; bit to prove and draw not great. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
9st 9lb |
Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Heavy-ground maiden winner who is effective on good but unraced on faster; the Group 3 he contested on reappearance was won by a Group 1 horse and he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) had he been sharper from the stalls; that form is working out well and he wouldn't be exposed just yet; considered. |

9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |
16/1 |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |

Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. |
7/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

11st 7lb |
When all his best form on the Flat and over hurdles is on good ground, it's best to put a line through his run on heavy in a French Grade 1 last time (November); he beat little of note when making hay in minor jumps meetings last summer but barely broke sweat in any of those races and his jumping was pinpoint accurate; one to be interested in for a trainer (also runs Glen To Glen) who knows what's required for this; gelded since his last run. |
18/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

Flat form stands out in this company and he's looked a natural over hurdles in winning at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter (good ground both times); penalised accordingly but should be hard to beat. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Just one win from ten Flat starts but ran creditably in two valuable races last month; easily justified very skinny odds to make winning hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (good) a week ago and could be very hard to beat here. |

9st 11lb |
Returned from a short break to land Clonmel fillies maiden last month and five days later only worn down late by 0.5l winner Kashel Spring in Punchestown fillies handicap (Presence third); should again be thereabouts but extra 1f may not be in her favour. |
13/2 |

16th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 58y |
9st 12lb |
Second in a 1m1f Leopardstown handicap in June; failed to back that up in two Curragh runs during the summer; came good in a maiden on yielding to soft at Clonmel last week, scoring readily from an 83-rated rival on level terms; definite chance under a 7lb penalty. |

Best of nine runs was a 1.25l second in a 1m1f Leopardstown handicap off 74 (good); hasn't backed that up in two most recent Curragh runs; back from a break now and would need to improve to win this but can't be ruled out. |

Started the season well when third at Cork and then winning for the first time at Gowran (1m, heavy); 10lb higher now but shaped better than finishing position suggests off this mark at the Curragh latest (7f, good); interesting stepped back up in trip. |

Maiden winner on the Flat last year (good) coped well with testing conditions on seasonal return when second at Naas but form petered off afterwards; back from a break however in good form to score on hurdles debut for new yard in Cork maiden last month on good ground, travelling well to win with a fair bit to spare (second beaten favourite since); should go well. |

Second win (23 races) was a Leicester classified last month; there are plenty of poor runs in his record but he followed that win with a creditable second of seven in handicap at Brighton (again coming from the rear over 6f on good to firm) ten days ago; considered. |
