14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk off 84; drops in trip with cheekpieces now fitted; wants decent ground. |

Won C&D maiden last summer before following up over the same trip in Down Royal handicap; back to that level of form on latest when strong-finishing 1/2l off an all-the-way winner here over 6f in December; back up to career-high mark but return to 7f to suit and respected. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
When all his best form on the Flat and over hurdles is on good ground, it's best to put a line through his run on heavy in a French Grade 1 last time (November); he beat little of note when making hay in minor jumps meetings last summer but barely broke sweat in any of those races and his jumping was pinpoint accurate; one to be interested in for a trainer (also runs Glen To Glen) who knows what's required for this; gelded since his last run. |
18/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Flat form stands out in this company and he's looked a natural over hurdles in winning at Newton Abbot and Uttoxeter (good ground both times); penalised accordingly but should be hard to beat. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Just one win from ten Flat starts but ran creditably in two valuable races last month; easily justified very skinny odds to make winning hurdle debut at Newton Abbot (good) a week ago and could be very hard to beat here. |

3-8 at two; won valuable Ballyhane Stakes at Naas and the 7f Group 3 Weld Park Stakes; met trouble in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies' won by stablemate Lake Victoria; flopped in the Dubai Duty Free Stakes on return; out of her depth in the Pouliches; big drop in class now; up in trip, leading chance if she stays; positives in the pedigree. |

Ballydoyle filly whose largely consistent 2yo campaign featured several pieces of Group form, notably Curragh success in sole 7f attempt; best to forgive her Breeders' Cup effort; holds solid claims. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; retains ability but the handicapper looks to be holding the aces at present; drops in class today but may need some more weight off his back. |
10/1 |
|
8th 15 (16) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Held up of late; competitive if judged on his peak Irish form for Joseph O'Brien, which was a 9.5f win last June in first-time blinkers; has played minor roles for new yard since, with some promise on occasions at Meydan (1m1f-1m4f) this year but others have more pressing claims. |
16/1 |

6th 4 (3) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Soundly beaten on stable debut at Yarmouth (1m1f, soft) three weeks ago but shaped as though he may have needed that run and he's back in blinkers today, which he wore for the first time when winning at Gowran Park (9.5f, good) in June on his final outing for Joseph O'Brien; interesting. |

Group-placed 2yo winner hasn't progressed as expected, third in 1m2f Group 3 here over the summer her better effort; plenty to find. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Second runner for yard; maiden winner as a 2yo was later second in a Group 3; the best of her five runs this term was when second in the Gowran Classic over C&D in June; has to rebound from two lesser runs. |
20/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Ended last season with second to the classy Whirl in a Group 3 (1m, soft) here; back to that level of form when beaten neck by a stablemate in valuable Gowran conditions event in June but two runs since leave her with a fair bit to find here; cheekpieces added. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |

Ex-Dermot Weld, won her first two starts last season, both at Gowran over a slightly shorter trip than this; highly tried later in the season; interesting recruit to this yard. |

12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
All five runs this season have been at Gowran, winning twice over 1m2f and not beaten fair into fourth in 1m4f Listed; didn't count back in trip on latest when visor tried (now replaced by usual cheekpieces); return to 1m4f may suit but stablemate Romzina may have stronger claims. |
16/1 |

8th 9 (12) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Showed improved form to win a C&D maiden on return and followed up back at this course in a conditions race next time; was below form in the Gowran Classic since but was fourth in a 1m4f Listed race over 1m4f here in July; visor added and handles testing ground so considered. |

Winless since debut Gowran victory (7f, good to firm), albeit highly tried on occasions, running creditably in a hot Royal Ascot handicap last June; didn't see out the mile at Cork when last seen; stable/seasonal debut down in trip; ground a concern. |

Gowran maiden winner on her second start (1m, good) last May; soundly beaten in Gowran Classic on only start since (9.5f, good) last June; unraced on slower than good and likely best watched in first handicap unless the market speaks. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 120y |

Well supported on debut in a maiden over an extended 1m2f at Cork early last month and found only one too good; built on that with a fairly straightforward front-running win over 1m here 12 days ago; still looked raw and can improve; return to longer trip should help. |
