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. |

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. |

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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
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. |

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. |

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. |
4/11 |

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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 50y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice in Ireland for Joseph O'Brien; some creditable efforts for current yard but his style can depend on luck and he's finished a well-held eighth at Newbury (1m) in last two starts; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game back up in trip; blinkers return and cheekpieces are removed. |

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. |

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. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Ex-Dermot Weld filly made an underwhelming start for this yard in a Curragh handicap (1m2f, good) last month; should be sharper now but has to prove she stays this far; tongue tie and visor go on. |

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. |

Won a 2yo maiden on debut for Jessica Harrington; ran some good races in defeat last year; joined Johnny Murtagh this term; stable in great form, but this 83-rated filly is not well treated by the race conditions. |

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. |

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. |
