21st Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Has won on good, unraced on firmer; fitted with cheekpieces for last two starts and found plenty for pressure to win them both comfortably, latterly on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (1m2f, yielding); sold for £250,000 on Monday; surging up the weights but one to take seriously. |

Promise in three 1m maidens; improved for fitting of cheekpieces when running out an impressive winner of Ballinrobe claimer (9.5f, good; well-backed) on latest; the runner-up has won since; contender on handicap debut. |

No impact in maidens but strung together three decent handicap efforts including a 0.5l second at Down Royal (10.5f, good) off 62 on penultimate; below par at Navan off revised mark latest; more needed back in a maiden. |

9st 7lb |
Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |

Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |

2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 10lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground. |
5/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |

Placed only once from 12 starts on the Flat, showing fair form at best; big odds for his three races in the mud over hurdles, appearing to show his best form when fourth of five in Listed race at Naas last time, but that 15l defeat does not suggest any threat to today's principals. |
