Started his career in bumpers; weak form in maidens, hard to fancy from an opening mark that puts him at the top of this handicap. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

9st 8lb |
Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; cheekpieces worn when well beaten behind some of these rivals at the Curragh (6f, good) have been abandoned. |

Recent Down Royal run was a bit more encouraging (not clear run) and cheekpieces now tried. |

Didn't show much in maidens at 1m-1m2f and similar story on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m); still early days but others make more appeal for now. |

9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo showed some promise in maidens last summer but opening two handicap efforts poor; entitled to come on for last month's comeback run and Colin Keane now booked; 6lb lower but not bred for this longer trip. |

9st 2lb |
Recent Gowran effort a small step in the right direction but of limited appeal off this opening mark unless first-time cheekpieces bring serious improvement. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Won a Gowran maiden (1m, good) for Dermot Weld last May (made all); ran better than the bare result on seasonal/stable at Limerick (1m, yielding) 18 days ago; eased 1lb for that and the return to quicker ground is a plus; player. |

Maiden winner over 1m at Gowran for Dermot Weld on the second of three starts last season; unplaced favourite for a 1m1f Leopardstown event almost exactly 12 months ago on his only handicap start. |

Modest form in maidens and similar story in first two handicaps; new cheekpieces need to have a dramatic effect. |

9st 3lb |
Switched to handicaps when fourth of nine at Brighton (5.2f, good to firm) in May in a first-time visor; no show there (7f) last Tuesday and the visor is now removed; needs a marked overall step forward. |

No improvement for the switch to handicaps when fourth of nine at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) in May in first-time visor (retained); not easily recommended. |
