18th Oct 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Ballydoyle colt who is progressive in the main; justified favouritism in the Irish Champion Stakes at Leopardstown (good to yielding) most recently, taking his form figures over 1m2f to 11121 and overall strike-rate to 6-11; unable to match Ombudsman's late acceleration in the International but had got up late on to collar that rival in the Eclipse and is set for another gripping rematch. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Won two Derby trials over C&D and bounced back from Epsom failure to win the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); deserved much credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on, having found trouble in running in the straight; beaten by the same top-class rival at York; reputation largely restored all the same; major player for stable denied six in a row in this last year. |

2nd 6 (3) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won two Derby trials this spring and bounced back from Derby disappointment to win the Group 1 Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; he deserves immense credit for overhauling Ombudsman late on last time having found trouble in running in the straight and got behind, and it was a performance that suggests he could take plenty of beating today. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
This progressive Kingman colt is on a hat-trick after successive Listed wins at Cork (10.5f, yielding) on final run of last term and at this venue (1m4f, good) on seasonal return; won that latest race by 6l in seriously impressive fashion (eased down) and should be fine dropped back in trip; top rated here and leading claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Smart, lightly raced 4yo; never quite fulfilled Leopardstown's Derby Trial second this time last year although did end the campaign on a winning note in 1m2f Cork Listed in September in ready fashion; looks the type to make an even better 4yo upped to this trip; very interesting player. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
Group 1-winning 2yo; made the frame last year in the Derby/Irish Derby and career-best when winning the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay (1m7f, very soft) at Longchamp in October; disappointing in a Group 2 Riyadh contest in January; fair third in a 2m Listed race at Down Royal in May. |

3rd 2 (6) |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Group 1-winning 2yo made the frame last year in Epsom/Curragh Derbies and career-best when winning the Group 2 Prix Chaudenay (1m7f, very soft) at Longchamp in October; disappointing when last seen in Group 2 Riyadh contest in January, fading tamely on quick ground after forcing much of pace; demands plenty of respect on overall form. |
13/8 |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Coped with heavy ground to beat Green Storm in three-runner Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f) last October; needed the race and unsuited by a muddling gallop and quick ground when around 7l third behind Delacroix in the Ballysax in May; did best of those who came from off the pace when finishing strongly for third in the Derby; holds a fighting chance in the rematch. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 11y Class 3 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle 4yo who has been running for Norwegian yard this year; won in Norway in May but struggled in handicaps at Meydan early this year and was well beaten in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot in June (third of six in far-side group); others are preferred. |
100/1 |
|
22th 24 (1) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Proved well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle, notwithstanding two wins (7f/1m2f); comfortably on top in Ovrevoll handicap (8.5f) in latest start for a Norwegian stable that he has joined this year; however, faces a markedly harder assignment in this field. |

Highly-tried 3yo and often out of his depth but did win 4-runner 1m2f Navan contest in July when dropped in grade; tame effort in handicap company latest and now drops back to 1m; opposable. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |
11/2 |

4th 7 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |
25/1 |

1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |
