2nd 1 (7) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries head high but progressed with every start last season and ended it with a close, battling second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); consequently 4-6 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but sluggish leaving the stalls and for most of the race before mustering something to finish fourth of seven; perhaps a first-time tongue-tie that day backfired, and he now goes without; the form pick if he bounces back. |

4th 1 (3) |
24th Apr 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Closely related to last year's Derby winner Lambourn and has his own Epsom aspirations, having ended a progressive 2yo campaign with close second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); now goes in tongue-tie; the pick on the figures and may well rate higher still. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in Galway maiden in August on second start (8.5f, good to yielding; unraced on softer) and recovered from slow start to finish third in the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) four weeks ago; appears to be the Ballydoyle third string today but this close relation to connections' Derby winner Lambourn is open to further improvement and not ruled out. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

1st 6 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Promise in three maidens last year on varying ground, including when third at Listowel on heavy (beaten 8l into third by Straight Up); ran well on handicap debut 18 days ago when 2.25l third to Empty Wallet, first run since being gelded and in first-time cheekpieces; should be thereabouts for in-form stable. |

3rd 3 (6) |
14th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden on third 2yo start and led on the post in Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding) in October; 11-1 with three of his stablemates among those at shorter odds when he reappeared in nine-runner Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) last month but it was him who asserted in the final 1f to win by half a length; will stay further but looks firmly in the mix. |

1st 2 (7) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Short head winner from A Boy Named Susie in the Eyrefield Stakes over 1m1f here last October; extra furlong should suit but would probably need more than a 2lb concession to account for Pierre Bonnard. |
13/2 |
|
2 (4) |
18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 5lb |
One of three for top yard; okay efforts in first two maidens on good to yielding; big step forward when making it third time lucky at Gowran (1m, heavy) on latest; that form since boosted by stablemate Causeway; could go well on first start in stakes' company, especially if it rains. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |

Last of eight on debut at Leopardstown; big price when around 8l fourth of nine over C&D at the festival; likely to find a few too good. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |

Cost 450,000euros as a yearling; ran well on debut at Galway over 1m before fading in the final furlong; this trip should suit better and can run well if handling the ground. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 12lb |
Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Modest efforts in 1m maidens last year; gelded and returned with a midfield finish on handicap bow at Naas in the Madrid (7f, soft) from 4lb out of the handicap; shaped as though that was needed and this is less demanding; interesting. |
17/2 |

8th 13 (5) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Maiden form is nothing to shout about; gelded since a 10.5l seventh of nine at Gowran in September (1m, heavy); 4lb wrong here for handicap debut and dropping to 7f; Holohan has been in good form at Dundalk over the winter and is value for his 7lb claim. |

80,000euros yearling; first foal; dam placed 11.5f in France, closely related to French 1m4f Listed winner Becqu Adoree; didn't count on Galway debut early this month (well behind third-placed Christmas Day); can only be watched. |
