13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 95y |
9st 5lb |
79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft. |
15/2 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort. |

Added second turf win when keeping on well to comfortably land a 1m Leopardstown handicap on seasonal return (1m, good to yielding); follow-up attempt under a 7lb penalty perhaps came too quickly on softer ground; up 10lb compared to her win but not discounted. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |

Made her 15th start, with tongue-tie and blinkers replacing cheekpieces, when getting off the mark in a nine-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) one month ago, doing it in clearcut style under 7lb claimer; has comparable form on good ground but not proven over this far (tried it on penultimate start) and she's 4lb out of the handicap. |

Galway winner for Dermot Weld last summer; first win for new stable (third attempt) when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Newbury last week (1m, good) and he escapes a penalty for that apprentice-race success; of obvious interest dropped into a Class 6. |

9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |

Encouraging second at Navan (1m6f, yielding) in August and may have found 1m2f against him when a beaten favourite at the Curragh 11 days ago; potential pace angle here and return to further should help; each-way claims. |

Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground. |

Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

0-22 in Ireland, but has done well since joining James Owen, finishing a close third of seven at Southwell (6f, AW) last month (form worked out well) before getting off the mark at Yarmouth (6f, good) on Tuesday; 5lb penalty may not stop her, especially with Henry Callan's record this year reading 3112116114. |
