19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Looked every inch a serious Derby prospect last term, which he failed to confirm behind two of these in the mud at Epsom this June but the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) three weeks later addressed the doubts when he rallied well to finish just a neck behind runner-up Christmas Day; as he receives 5lb today from that rival and from Maltese Cross, that career-best performance puts him clear top on form. |

9st 2lb |
Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in two 1m2f Pattern events, the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft); 3yo campaign got off to a low-key start behind Christmas Day in the Ballysax at Leopardstown; much more like it when second to James J Braddock in the Derby Trial at the same venue; jury is out following a short-lived Derby challenge. |

9st 2lb |
Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in a Group 3 at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft) and they were over 1m2f; 3yo campaign got off to a muted start but he briefly hit the front in Derby Trial at Leopardstown before James J Braddock swooped and Aidan O'Brien has stressed that he went gently with him at home until after that race; his sire and dam's sire were Derby winners (dam won 1m2f Group 1 Nassau) and he now moves up from 1m2f; he looked every inch a serious Derby contender last term and that's probably still the impression to go with. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Sole win from seven races was a 1m2f maiden in March but he's also contested four Group events; best form when third in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) in May, before weakening to a 13l defeat when fifth there in the Irish Derby (1m4f); that leaves his stamina unproven but his dam was suited by the trip. |

Improved from his debut when chasing home Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk last August; found the competition too hot in the Beresford Stakes; made a fine start to the season when winning a good 1m2f maiden at this venue; got upset in the stalls when failing to build on that in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown; better when third behind the subsequent King Edward VII Stakes winner Causeway in the 1m2f Gallinule Stakes here; first Group 1 attempt now, should stay 1m4f. |

Placed in several maidens last season at 6f-1m; fine return to action at Fairyhouse (6f, good) in June when a luckless fourth but hasn't improved on that twice since, albeit not beaten far at the Curragh on latest in this headgear combination; unproven on soft. |

Runner-up in a Dundalk maiden last year for Natalia Lupini; returned from seven months off to run a fine race on his seasonal and stable debut when a luckless fourth over 6f at Fairyhouse; definite player although the draw is not ideal. |

9st 3lb |
Landed the odds with an emphatic win on handicap debut here (1m, good) in May; placed in two of his three runs since including when runner-up under a prominent ride at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month; now returns to sprinting but he's still lightly raced and could make another bold bid. |

Easy winner off a 9lb lower mark on handicap debut at Ripon in May (1m, good); creditable third at Doncaster next time (1m, good to soft) but connections blamed the faster ground when well below his best last time at Pontefract (1m, good); today's sharp 7f on fast ground unlikely to suit. |

Contested a Group 3 on debut when beaten 14l and was well held in a 1m Dundalk maiden subsequently; speed in his pedigree and showed early speed at Dundalk so there's a chance this marked drop in trip will suit. |

Set some very stiff tasks in 6f juvenile maidens won by high-profile Ballydoyle-trained horses, Albert Einstein, Gstaad and Pierre Bonnard; poor nursery run at Bellewstown, where soft ground may have been an issue; has been gelded, premature to dismiss. |
