28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Made all in 1m4f Leopardstown maiden but barely beaten a rival twice since and was tailed off at Royal Ascot last week; questions to answer now. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
950,000gns yearling by Frankel; won narrowly when dictating a steady pace in maiden at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) on second start; it's rather alarming that he finished last of ten in the other two, but latest was handicap debut over just 7f, which was probably too short, and he now has his tongue tied. |

10st 2lb |
Last of 10 on debut at Leopardstown (1m2f) but left that behind when making all over 1m4f back at Leopardstown last month; fascinating contender on handicap debut but has to be a chance that 7f is too sharp. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f); cracking run on seasonal return in big field 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in May; latest run over 2m back there disappointing (cheekpieces tried then are discarded) but capable of better, is rated 91 and Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking. |
9/4 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 6lb |
1m4f Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (gd-yld); promising seasonal reappearance here 33 days ago, staying on for a 5.5l fourth of 24 over 1m6f (2l behind Kilmeaden in third); well worth a go at this trip on that evidence and mark unchanged; cheekpieces added. |
7/1 |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third in a quality Navan Listed race the time before; heavy ground a possible excuse when disappointing off top weight at Listowel in September; gelded since and he went close on his seasonal return last year. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 4lb |
Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal event in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); found Listed company a bit tough on latest but definite prospects back in grade here albeit trip possibly on the short side. |

Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal handicap in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); improving type for whom a stamina test suits but needs to step up a level here. |

26th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 1lb |
Just behind Gun Carriage in a maiden in April won by the smart Stay True; off the mark over C&D in July but then finished last in a 1m6f Listed race; big ask to bounce back in a race of this nature. |
25/1 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 0y |

Two solid opening runs in maidens here in the Spring and returned from a break to win 1m2f Dundalk AW maiden last month, making all and battling well; much stiffer task here. |

Both runs at Leopardstown (1m2f/1m4f); a beaten favourite the last time but two of the three ahead of him have won since; obvious contender. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
0-5 in Ireland for Dermot Weld but he caught the eye on his stable debut over C&D 46 days ago, staying on for third behind Caph Star having been denied a clear run; that was his first start since October and this unexposed gelding is on the shortlist. |
7/2 |

3rd 2 (15) |
18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
0-5 in maidens at up to 1m4f in Ireland for Dermot Weld; sold for 16,000euros in November; remains unexposed but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations on handicap and yard debut after seven months off; drawn widest. |

11th May 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Made a competent debut over the extended 1m2f at Dundalk in March, keeping on for third behind the two market leaders (trained by Ger Lyons and Aidan O'Brien respectively); got the hang of things late on and should be suited by the longer trip here. |

Some promising runs in defeat last season; okay run over hurdles at Bellewstown in April but his tailed off finish at Sligo last month is concerning. |

Well related but slowly away and green when always last of eight in maiden at Leopardstown (1m4f, good; 18-1) in May, showing some ability but he left Jim Bolger for 8,000gns nearly six weeks ago. |
