5th Jul 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Contested some good maidens and runner-up three times before decisive win at Gowran (beating Iceford) in May over this trip; creditable handicap debut against his elders at Cork when racing away from the pace; rider's claim a positive back against his peers. |

9st 4lb |
Contested good maidens; runner-up three times before decisive win at Gowran last month; form franked but 11lb rise makes this hard for the only three-year-old in the race taking on battle-hardened handicappers. |

9st 8lb |
Second to Ballydoyle-trained colts (notably Monday's Tetrarch Stakes winner Officer) on his first two starts before a fourth behind one from the same yard at the Curragh last year; strong in the betting when second of 16 at Naas (7f, soft to heavy) on return; leading contender on this contrasting surface. |

9st 4lb |
Was 3.25l behind Glen To Glen over 6f on seasonal debut before winning a C&D handicap; not bad runs at Ascot and Naas after but was below form on soft at Galway; the various headgear is left off today and is a player. |

Off the mark over this trip at the Curragh in May, okay run since at Ascot, most recently last of three in Naas conditions event when having to force it; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; others preferred although rider's claim a positive. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Back in form when second to Krissy over C&D in May and he built on that when getting a fine ride to make his breakthrough here (1m, again good; Bellasio second) 19 days ago; not the easiest but little doubt this new mark still underestimates him. |

Exposed 17-race maiden but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he ran well when second over 1m1f here 17 days ago; others still appeal more for win purposes. |

2nd 6 (9) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
16-race maiden who can be difficult to settle and was well beaten at Ripon (1m, good) last month on sole previous run beyond 7f; however, he kept on strongly for seventh of 13 at Catterick (7f, good) last time, suggesting this trip might be worth a go, and his mark continues to fall; visor removed. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 46y |
11st 8lb |
73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens, placed twice; made immediate over hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August; failed to confirm the form of that race with Cinnamon Coco at Down Royal; much more like it when winning at Listowel; clashes for a third time with Joseph O'Brien's runner who may have his measure. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens; made immediate impact upon switch to hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month; disappointing at Down Royal last month when well beaten by rival he had defeated in his maiden victory, albeit he needed to carry a penalty (as he does here); needs to bounce back. |

Returned from 182-day break and made stable/handicap debut over C&D in November but finished tailed off; same story next time over 6f; stable's sole runner of the year thus far won at 28-1; worth a market check in first-time blinkers. |

Three runs at this trip; raced keenly at Naas; slowly away when eighth of 17 at the Curragh; slowly away again at Gowran on latest when stable's second string; will need to break better but could be ready to slot into handicaps at this modest level. |
