4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Bellewstown maiden winner (1m, good); not disgraced in Listed heat at Tipperary (7.5f, good); stayed on after being outpaced on handicap debut at Leopardstown (1m, yld-sft) in October; 3lb lower now and yard had first time out winner on Wednesday. |

9st 7lb |
Elzaam gelding built on promising debut when winning over this trip at Bellewstown (good); didn't land a blow in Tipperary Listed following month but not discredited when beaten 5l: drops in class and rider's claim a positive. |

9st 5lb |
Elzaam gelding built on his promising debut run at Down Royal (7f, good) when winning at Bellewstown (1m, good); clearly has a decent level of ability but this is much harder; needs to improve further. |

Third runner for yard; won a 6f Nottingham maiden on third start and a solid fourth in a Tipperary Listed race over 7.5f next time; gelded since and needs much more. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Churchill colt made it third time lucky when winning a Nottingham maiden (6f, good) by over 3l last month, making all; held by Brussels on their meeting at the Curragh in May; needs more stepped back up to 7f. |

9st 7lb |
Irish raider who shaped well in two good Curragh maidens in the spring (6f/7f); beaten under 2l when fifth of ten on latter occasion and looks the one to beat here. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Bought for 50,000gns soon after winning a 6f Curragh maiden in first-time cheekpieces (eighth start); proven over 1m, let alone this far, and could be interesting on yard/handicap debut. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Best run was when third to a pair of solid stakes-level performers in a Listed contest last year; placed in 1m maidens this year, looked awkward under pressure when odds-on at Leopardstown; not one of his better efforts last time; 6f might be inadequate, but still of some interest, with cheekpieces and a 7lb claimer. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up here in 2025; convincing winner of Leopardstown Group 3 (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance before racing freely in 2,000 Guineas and Irish 2,000 Guineas; has had more racing than most of these and has to carry a penalty but should be suited by this return to 7f. |

6th 10 (1) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Chesham Stakes runner-up and Listed winner at Tipperary before a respectable effort in a 1m Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start; won going away from Power Blue (gave 3lb) in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; pulled very hard in the 2,000 Guineas; fifth was a decent outcome in the circumstances; can make his presence felt if settling better. |
6/1 |

5th 14 (5) |
2nd May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish colt who has built up a solid record that includes a good effort in Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start (sole 1m attempt); won going away from Power Blue, who conceded 3lb, in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; could go well but several others bring stronger claims in terms of class and/or potential. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 7lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a Leopardstown maiden this time last year (7f, good) but hasn't built on that effort, most recently seasonal return at same venue early this month (hanging left late on); entitled to come on for that. |

5th 2 (9) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |
9st 10lb |
Sprang a 33-1 surprise in a C&D maiden (good) last July; last of six in Tipperary listed race the following month; weakened on soft ground upped to 1m on handicap debut here when last seen in October; gelded, 4lb lower now and worth a market check on return. |
12/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Surprise debut winner of 7f auction maiden here in July (second won next time out) making virtually all; too keen when similar tactics employed in Tipperary Listed following month but respected back down in grade here. |
