Signed off for 2025 at Newmarket (7f) in November and in good nick this season until coming in last of six over C&D in May; the sort to bounce back after a break. |

Got up in the final strides over 5f here (good to firm) three weeks ago on his fourth start for this yard; he could have more to offer for this stable, especially back up in trip with his Irish wins having come at 7.5f/7f; respected up 4lb for last time. |

10st 0lb |
Short-headed on stable/seasonal debut at Musselburgh (5f, soft) in April; excuses at Newmarket (7f, good) next time and he returned to form when fourth of 14 at Thirsk (6f, good); one to consider back down in grade. |
6/1 |

Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in. |

9st 11lb |
Gained breakthrough success in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) in September off 70; good third off this mark at Cork when last seen in September; blinkers are getting the best from him and he's a player if ready on seasonal return. |

Unlucky a few times on turf last year, but won three times at Dundalk, notably when beating subsequent Group 2 winner Jancis in a Listed contest over this trip; favourite/joint favourite all three outings in premier handicaps this term, twice running well at the Curragh over 6f/7f; mark remains 7lb lower than AW rating; doesn't usually lead, but can race handily. |

Has won three times on the AW including a 1m Listed race at Dundalk last November; nearly took advantage of a lower turf mark when third on return in a 6f handicap at this track, but was below that form since at Cork; has to rebound. |

Ended last year on a roll with successive AW wins at Dundalk, the second occasion a fillies' Listed contest over 1m; posted a cracking seasonal return at the Curragh (6f, good) last time when a 0.75l third, behind winner Headmaster; retains same mark, 7lb below AW one; big player. |

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. |

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. |
