Minor promise on debut but showed very little in two subsequent starts; blinkers now on handicapping; worth a market check. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
1m AW maiden winner in November for Ger Lyons; encouraging stable debut when beaten just over 2l at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) in April but it all went wrong when racing far too freely over 1m1f three weeks ago; takes a sharp drop in trip. |
33/1 |

7th 5 (6) |
6th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
AW winner for Ger Lyons, for whom he was 1-7; weak in the betting when fifth of 11 on yard debut at Wetherby but, although he wasn't beaten far, that was a Class 4; the hood that worked well for him in Ireland now returns. |
15/2 |

5th 4 (6) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
1m maiden winner at Dundalk (AW) for Ger Lyons in November, his fifth start; absent since second in a claimer over that C&D in December and, given his tendency to race too freely, removing the hood on this stable debut looks risky. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Capable of useful form but is well down the pecking order at Ballydoyle and 0-6 since debut win; never-dangerous 11th of 30, fitted with cheekpieces, in Royal Ascot handicap (1m) most recently; headgear retained; clear bottom of this pack on ratings and is possibly in here as pacemaker for his two stablemates. |
100/1 |
|
11th 6 (22) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
All six runs on good or good to yielding ground; runner-up in small-field Group 3s last season and returned to something like that level when beaten 3l (held up) in a competitive 1m1f Listed race at Navan; however, when that was only 11 days ago this hardly smacks of a masterplan; sports headgear for the first time. |
12/1 |
|
5th 9 (5) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Placed in two small-field Group 3 races at two; question to answer on this year's form; held by Geryon on Leopardstown running; last of five behind Constitution River in the Dee Stakes; stablemate Isaac Newton is more appealing. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Wasn't beaten all that far in a Curragh Group 3 despite finishing last of five and took advantage of the drop in class back in a Down Royal maiden on his first go at this trip; that didn't look like the deepest maiden but any further progress should see him firmly in the mix. |

Has improved with every run and showed speed when beaten 3l defeat in a 6f Curragh maiden; last of five in a Group 3 back there latest but was only beaten 5l and he sets the standard on form here; wears first-time tongue-tie. |
10/11 |

Siyouni colt; first out of a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner, half-sister to Racing Post Trophy and 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, out of Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Maybe, family of Derby winner Dr Devious; stable outsider of three on debut over 6f here last June, noted staying on; likely to be a big player here if he has progressed satisfactorily. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Starman colt a 180,000gns yearling; ran away with ordinary Down Royal maiden and again when showing considerably better form in 4-runner Group 3 Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown in July, making all to beat an odds-on shot 6l (7f, good-to-yielding); possibly flattered by latest but certainly going the right way and proven over the trip; yard has a good recent record in this race. |
8/1 |

1st 3 (2) |
24th Jul 2025 Soft 0m 7f 57y |

Promising debut in third behind Flushing Meadows at the Curragh; duly landed the odds at Down Royal 16 days later; outpointed by the Ballydoyle-trained Daytona in a 1m Listed race at Naas last time. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
5th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Starman colt a 180,000gns yearling; second foal; dam US 7.5f-1m1f turf winner (inc stakes); promising debut in Curragh maiden last month and took full advantage of that experience 16 days later to land the odds at Down Royal, making all to win well; type to continue improving and should make a bold bid if staying this longer trip. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Stablemate of Gstaad; appears versatile as regards ground; tough colt who proved a useful maiden prior to ending last season with a hat-trick when upped to 7f/1m in major 2yo races, including two French Group 1s; creditable fourth when favourite for the Poulains at Longchamp on reappearance; has significant form, may rate higher still over this distance and looks set to have his own way up front (gained his wins making all); one of the main players. |
11/1 |
|
5 (3) |
13th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 6y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Kept to 6f thus far and has advanced his RPRs with each run; hardly has the profile of a typical Champagne winner after five defeats, but twice runner-up in Group 2s (comfortably held admittedly) and a slow start did for him in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes a month ago; battle hardened and stepping up 7f is unlikely to pose any problems, so by no means discounted. |
9/1 |

4 (6) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Went close in a maiden over C&D in June on second start, no match for True Love when second of four in the Railway Stakes, 3/4l in front of Power Blue; one of the best maidens around judged on his second to Coppull (Coventry Stakes third) in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood nine days ago. |

Best run was when third to a pair of solid stakes-level performers in a Listed contest last year; placed in 1m maidens this year, looked awkward under pressure when odds-on at Leopardstown; not one of his better efforts last time; 6f might be inadequate, but still of some interest, with cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer. |

Useful form in two runs in decent company last summer (both over 6f; good); second of 13 at this venue; not quite as good but respectable nonetheless when third at Naas; coped with easier ground when making a winning reappearance here early this month; opening mark seems fair; strong chance. |
