16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
10st 1lb |
Enjoyed a good spell last summer, including a win and a short-head second in two outings over 1m here in June; twice made the frame over 1m here this year before winning over this trip at Down Royal in May; out of the money twice since then. |

Enjoyed a good spell last summer and gained second career win when taking Down Royal handicap over this trip in May; just okay run off 5lb higher at Leopardstown albeit from a wide draw; remains of interest. |

Enjoyed a good spell last summer, including a win at this track (1m, good); fair efforts in defeat this year before improving to score at Down Royal (7f, good) on latest; up 5lb but right in the mix again as long as the ground doesn't deteriorate. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on. |

Won at Newbury (1m, good) in May on third start for this yard and followed up when unpenalised at Yarmouth (1m, good) five days later; runner-up off this 6lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) last time, when outstayed, and he could play a leading role back down to 1m. |

Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

Three-time turf winner who made a positive return to turf at Bellwstown (1m, soft) in April before finishing ninth at Limerick on yielding; bolted up on soft at Roscommon off 1lb lower last year so can be in the mix if rain comes. |

Promise on sole 2yo start but three runs this term have been poor, too keen and didn't get home over 1m on latest in hood/tongue-tie combination (now left off); changed yards since and improvement possible now dropped to minimum trip for first time although mark may still be on the high side. |
