9st 3lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; has been running over further of late, good efforts in Gowran Listed and Galway premier handicap and career-best in Group 3 CMG Group Stakes here last month over 1m4f when beaten 4l; not sure if this drop in trip will be in his favour. |

9st 1lb |
Decent sort but hasn't added to 2yo maiden win; placed on five of six starts this term, including C&D Listed, most recently in Galway premier handicap; fair bit to find to play a major role. |

3yo; has gone 0-5 since his maiden win and his lack of pace has been exposed of late; he still didn't run at all badly last week in a 1m4f Listed race at Gowran and perhaps a big-field handicap scenario will suit him well. |

Fair placed form early last season and won at Roscommon in the autumn; two 2026 runs can be upgraded a little, has met trouble in running both times. |

Fair placed form early last season and won at Roscommon in the autumn; did not get the best of runs over 1m2f on seasonal debut,; probably more effective at this trip. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |
7/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 4lb |
Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal event in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); found Listed company a bit tough on latest but definite prospects back in grade here albeit trip possibly on the short side. |

Plenty of promise in maidens before making winning handicap debut in quite valuable 1m5f Down Royal handicap in June, finding plenty for pressure (good); improving type for whom a stamina test suits but needs to step up a level here. |

2nd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won six times in Ireland (7f-1m2f) for Michael Mulvany, including over 1m at Listowel (heavy) last September; things are yet to click for him for this trainer (0-7), hanging under pressure at Hamilton (8.5f) recently; mark continues to ease. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |

Won his final start in Ireland (1m, heavy); hasn't been in the same form for new stable but worth a second look in the betting back from a two-month break. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat at up 1m5f and he has a record of 2212 since switched to hurdling for his current yard; seems to be learning to settle better and he didn't get a smooth run when an eye-catching second in the juvenile handicap at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last month; that was another good step forward and he could continue to progress in this sphere; interesting contender. |
9/2 |

2nd 7 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has more scope than your typical ex-Flat 4yo and he was a useful maiden in that scene at up to 1m5f; came up short in his first two hurdle races but was unlucky not to be closer to leading Triumph contender Minella Study here in December (good to soft) and then, despite racing freely, won as he liked when a strong favourite at Ascot (soft); made all that day and those tactics can spell danger in a race of this nature, but he should have more to give; Jack Kennedy is a notable booking with the Elliott stable represented. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 157y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Useful maiden on the Flat in Ireland; has shaped nicely on both starts over hurdles, short of room before the last flight when second to a promising sort at Cheltenham (2m1f, good to soft; raced freely) five weeks ago; could do with settling better but has the best form as things stand. |
