30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Gowran Park maiden (1m, good) in May (runner-up has won since); came up well short in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot latest; this is more realistic; can't dismiss on handicap debut. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |

Tad frustrating in maiden races until improving for first-time tongue-tie at Gowran Park (1m, good) most recently, opening his account with a ready win from the front; faces a markedly stiffer task upped in class and is possibly in here as pacemaker for the yard's main hope Henri Matisse. |

Half-brother to 1m winner Red Viburnum followed up encouraging Gowran debut run last month by taking similar contest three weeks later, making all in a weaker affair; very interesting into handicap company here off a mark he could well better and extra furlong no problem. |

Got first career win with a comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW since, but he has some decent turf form and could go well back on this surface. |

Off the mark in 1m AW maiden at Dundalk in February and beaten under 2l in valuable Lingfield AW handicap early this month over same trip; barely gets 1m2f so potentially vulnerable back on the turf. |

Seventh career run when winning a 1m AW maiden at Dundalk which he was entitled to at odds-on; only fifth back there on handicap debut but was never in the best place after starting slowly; may yet to have more to offer. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise in four handicap starts around 1m on turf in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh last year; new connections went to 58,000euros to acquire him in November and are quick to step him up in trip (also AW debut); market confidence could prove significant. |

Beaten in three handicaps but two of those efforts can be upgraded, including Galway last time where he had to challenge wide (1m, soft); in the mix. |

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out. |

11st 7lb |
Half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip; modest Flat handicapper for Joseph O'Brien; won over 1m5f at Down Royal last July off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway represents his best form; has joined Enda Bolger; would prefer better ground. |

Fourth runner for yard; confirmed promise of handicap debut third at Limerick (11.5f, good) by scoring comfortably at Down Royal (1m5f, good); hiked up 10lb for that and drops back slightly in trip; preferred by McMonagle and this half-brother to Melbourne Gold Cup winner Gold Trip could have more in the tank. |
