30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark at the fifth attempt in Gowran Park maiden (1m, good) in May (runner-up has won since); came up well short in St James's Palace at Royal Ascot latest; this is more realistic; can't dismiss on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

17th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 213y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Tad frustrating in maiden races until improving for first-time tongue-tie at Gowran Park (1m, good) most recently, opening his account with a ready win from the front; faces a markedly stiffer task upped in class and is possibly in here as pacemaker for the yard's main hope Henri Matisse. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Two soft ground wins last term; found 1m inadequate here on seasonal debut; much better when second at Cork, with Apercu back in fourth; could be in the mix. |
10/1 |

2nd 6 (14) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 6lb |
Two soft ground wins last term included 9.5f Clonmel handicap off 84; didn't count back at 1m on recent seasonal return at the Curragh but entitled to come on for that so don't rule out. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Pulled 12l clear with next-time-out winner when landing a Killarney maiden in July; excuses next time out and landed an extended 1m1f handicap at Clonmel in good style on latest start 204 days ago; up 7lb but progressive in handicaps and should enjoy conditions; leading player. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Twice a winner (1m/1m1f) in Ireland for Dermot Weld; improved a bit on just second start for new connections when beaten narrowly at Chester (7f, good) last week, always in the firing line; a 3lb rise should not prevent another bold bid. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 (7) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who scored twice over longer trips in Ireland; far from disgraced (seventh of 18) at Newmarket dropped to 7f on stable/seasonal debut; possibilities, provided he builds on that effort. |
11/1 |
|
7th 10 (2) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Won at the Curragh (1m1f) on seasonal/handicap debut in June and doubled his tally in Killarney conditions event (1m, also good) in August; big disappointment on final start for Dermot Weld in late September but new connections had to go to 150,000gns to secure him one month later; unexposed and interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this first start at 7f. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Mostly running well in defeat this season; beaten 5l when second at Listowel (7f, heavy) a week ago; previously a 3.25l fifth behind Sujet in a rated race at Killarney and is worse off at weights here; would probably prefer softer ground. |
9/1 |
|

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win from nine starts came in a 7f Curragh maiden in March (soft); posted a solid effort at Galway on penultimate (8.5f, yld-sft) and 2lb lower now; ground may have been too quick at Killarney on latest; interesting. |
11/1 |

3 (4) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 12lb |
1-8, the win coming in a 7f soft-ground maiden at the Curragh; always well positioned when dividing Refreshment and Sujet in a 1m handicap at Galway; didn't quite see that out but todays drier surface may enable a stronger finish. |

Started the season well when third at Cork and then winning for the first time at Gowran (1m, heavy); 10lb higher now but shaped better than finishing position suggests off this mark at the Curragh latest (7f, good); interesting stepped back up in trip. |
12/1 |

24th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

2nd Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Nursery winner at Galway last season; has failed to find a similar level of form this year; down 9lb from career-high, still hard to fancy. |
12/1 |

6 (10) |
30th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 123y |
9st 1lb |
Second runner for yard; maiden winner scored on handicap debut in nursery at this meeting last August (7f, soft); no impact off revised mark in four runs since and still 6lb above that last win; tongue-tie and blinkers tried. |
25/1 |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; career-best form since November features two wins at Dundalk and a fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire; better again in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time when a runner-up off 1lb lower (1m, good to soft); big chance with ground to suit. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 (1) |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Career-best form (all over 1m) since November features two wins on Dundalk AW and fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh returned to turf; has frame possibilities off unaltered mark. |

4th 11 (1) |

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. |
9/2 |
|
4 (6) |
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 |
|
4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 8lb |
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. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
3yo won two on the AW last season; 0-9 on turf, though he did go close in a 6.5f Limerick rated race in July; no show in two handicaps since that run and was slowly away last time at the Curragh; others appeal more. |
22/1 |
|
7th 8 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 7lb |
3yo is a two-time AW winner at 1m; 0-8 on turf but has run well in defeat including a 0.5l second in a 6.5f rated race at Limerick (good) last month; soft ground not ideal at Galway latest; 4lb wrong but should be staying on at the finish. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won three times in Ireland for Mick Mulvany, including at Listowel (1m, heavy) last September; low key in five starts for new trainer, slipping 9lb in the weights - now 1lb below that last winning mark; needs revival on AW return (3-9). |
16/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Signed off in Ireland with Listowel win (1m, heavy) last autumn; well held at long odds in four runs (7f-1m2f) for this yard; beginning to fall in the weights but probably best watched unless strong in the market. |
25/1 |
|
6th 3 (6) |
30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won three on AW at Dundalk (7f-1m) for Mick Mulvany and ended his time for that County Meath handler with a heavy-ground win at Listowel (1m; 13-2) last September; low-key in three starts for Ben Haslam, last of 12 over 1m2f at Doncaster on latest start; mark is beginning to ease. |
