26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 5lb |
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. |

3rd 4 (6) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. |

4-10 on turf including a handicap win here off 74 last July (10.5f, yielding); won the Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh in April (1m2f, soft); not a bad run in 10.5f Chester Group 2 latest (10.5f, good), shaping as though ready to step back up to this sort of trip; leading claims. |

8th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Progressive in handicaps last season but took his form to a new level when getting the better of a stablemate in a Group 3 at the Curragh (1m2f, soft) last month; may yet be capable of even better, but he could do with some rain. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 20y |
11st 7lb |
Half-brother to Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip; modest Flat handicapper for Joseph O'Brien; won over 1m5f at Down Royal last July off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway represents his best form; has joined Enda Bolger; would prefer better ground. |
14/1 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |

Off the mark on second attempt in handicaps, readily winning over 1m5f at Down Royal last month off 61; solid run off 10lb higher at Galway on easier ground and remains a contender with better ground likely in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 (11) |
28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |
8st 9lb |
Fourth runner for yard; confirmed promise of handicap debut third at Limerick (11.5f, good) by scoring comfortably at Down Royal (1m5f, good); hiked up 10lb for that and drops back slightly in trip; preferred by McMonagle and this half-brother to Melbourne Gold Cup winner Gold Trip could have more in the tank. |

Ex-Irish; 0-11; well beaten on stable debut at Carlisle nine days ago (1m1f, good) after nearly a year off but better can be expected today. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Patchy form in Irish handicaps last year but her third-place finishes at Killarney (1m3f, good) in May and Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) put her in the picture; got going too late over 1m6f when last seen in August; requires a market check on this stable debut. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 4lb |
Maiden had been running well in defeat, including third here in May (1m3f) and Ballinrobe third (1m2f); didn't convince twice over 1m4f at Galway last month so legitimate stamina concerns upped further in trip here. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
1m2f French Flat winner who did well for former Irish connections, in victory and defeat over hurdles; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown (soft) and it was only three days later he finished well held under a penalty (same mark here) in the Fred Winter, though that run was better than it looks on paper; this is his first handicap against older opposition and he's very much in the mix. |
6/1 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f French Flat winner; won a maiden hurdle (yielding) in Ireland in October and continued his progress with seconds this winter in a Listed race and Punchestown handicap; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown on Saturday (soft), picking up the penalty that secured his place here; connections strike while the iron is hot and he merits attention, for all that Harry Cobden was aboard at the weekend but not now. |

French Flat winner who scored on hurdle debut at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in October and has continued to run well, finishing a clear second in a 4yo handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January on final outing for Ross O'Sullivan; could have a part to play on stable debut. |

Landed 1m2f Leopardstown handicap earlier in the campaign and best effort when second over C&D in Apprentice Derby in late June, having been tight for room a furlong out; too keen and didn't get a clear run at Galway on latest so that can be forgiven; definite player. |

Did not seem to stay the extended 1m4f on handicap debut at Galway; still relatively unexposed, this being only his fifth start. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |

Handicap debutant's best maiden run a 5.25l fifth of 11 at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good); bred to do better at some stage and yard has a fine record in this race but pedigree suggests that this trip may stretch his stamina; others make more appeal. |

21st Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Some positive efforts in his ten Flat runs; went close in a Curragh nursery last September off 72; returned from a break with a 2.5l third at Limerick in July when hampered by a faller and catching the attention of the stewards; below that level at Galway later that month; makes stable debut and an interesting contender. |

28th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 84y |

Third runner for yard; went close in a 7f nursery at the Curragh last September off this rating; back to form when hampered by fallers and catching the attention of the stewards at Limerick 16 days ago; tongue tie is added to cheekpieces; can't discount off the same mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 70y |

Went closest to scoring on nursery debut over 7f at the Curragh last year but has been below that level in three starts at 1m since; the step up in trip on faster ground with cheekpieces needs to help. |

On yard debut took a 1m2f Naas handicap under today's rider in June and ended a poor run of form with unlucky nose defeat by Longseoir over C&D last month, not clear run and allowing winner first run before running on really strongly at the finish; good chance of overturning that form give a clearer run if handling conditions. |

10st 0lb |
Won a 1m2f Curragh maiden (good) in May but found things tougher stepped up to 1m4f on handicap debut at Royal Ascot (gd-fm); this less demanding and it would be no surprise if he were to bounce back. |

19th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

One of three runners for Aidan O'Brien; runner-up at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) on return and went one better when 8-13 in another maiden at the Curragh (1m2f, good) two months later, comfortably in the end but he was pushed along over 3f out; has many a big-race entry and brings clear potential, plus probable stamina, to this handicap debut. |

Frankel colt never landed a blow on debut in end of season course maiden (1m) last year; stepped up massively on that when runner-up in 10.5f Dundalk maiden in March; Irish Derby entry should play a major role here. |
