Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one. |

Dual Dundalk winner at 1m; left Ireland out of form (changed hands for 6,000gns) and he was tailed off at big odds for stable debut at Southwell. |

28th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Won twice at Dundalk (1m, AW) last winter but he was out of sorts in final five runs in Ireland; left David Marnane for 6,000gns last September; has plenty to prove on return for new yard and he's untried on Tapeta; stablemate of Tribal Wisdom. |

Both wins and most runs at Dundalk; 0-5 on turf, bit more encouraging behind Star Mind at Naas on latest but good bit more required here. |
