18th May 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Won a 6f Curragh maiden (good) on debut; has run creditably without winning in stakes company since; beaten 4.5l on first try at 1m in a listed race at the Curragh on seasonal comeback two weeks ago; should improve for that and not discounted on handicap debut. |

Surprise debut winner of 6f maiden here last summer but bit exposed in stakes company afterwards, each time staying on as if a step up in trip will suit (not clear run at Dundalk final start); gelded over the winter and step up in trip should suit but others may have greater scope for improvement. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
200/1 |
|
10th 5 (7) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
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. |
100/1 |
|
7th 4 (7) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
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. |

3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
All three wins have come over 7f, including at Thirsk in September, but he has form over this C&D too, including when third behind runaway winner Welbury in August; enters calculations. |
10/1 |

5th 1 (9) |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Record is 3-24; incurs 6lb penalty but is effectively striking while the iron's hot, having rallied to justify favouritism in Thirsk handicap (7f, good to soft) last Saturday; has form over 1m; enters calculations. |
4/1 |
|
1st 9 (3) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
8st 13lb |
Now 8lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last November; he has shown enough this year to think he retains a good portion of his ability; should go well. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Sole win came in a Bellewstown maiden last summer; third of eight in Ballinrobe claimer on final start for Noel Meade in June but low-key yard debut in Killarney claimer since. |
8/1 |
|
7 (11) |
16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 40y |
9st 8lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year but regressive this season and claimed out of Noel Meade's yard for 8,000 euros at Ballinrobe last month after front-running third over 9.5f; cheekpieces replace visor here. |

3rd 4 (1) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 163y |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Out of form for Jessica Harrington last year; no sign of a revival in two runs this term; this looks too demanding. |
25/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Maiden winner at two; struggled in handicaps in the first half of last season for Jessica Harrington and never counted on yard debut last October; not much better on reappearance. |

12th 1 (17) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Maiden winner here at 2 (good) but struggled in handicaps in first half of last season for Jessica Harrington and never counted on yard debut here in October on heavy; handicapper relenting but still on a high enough mark; wide draw a negative. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 150y |
8st 13lb |
Closely matched with some of today's rivals on recent efforts, and ran his usual honest race when third of 17 last week at Naas (2m); that trip appeared to stretch him, and before then over 1m4f he was a closing third behind Handani; Reese Holohan rides again. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 15 (16) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 7lb |
In new blinkers when staying on best at Galway (1m4f, yielding) and stamina appeared stretched by 1m6f when swamped late on at Killarney; tactically versatile and Reese Holohan's claim is well worth having. |
10/1 |
|
5th 12 (13) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 9lb |
Did well to gain third win when powering home to get up by a neck at Galway (1m4f, yielding) 20 days ago; up 5lb but this trip could suit on that evidence. |
11/1 |
