13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August, but in poor form on turf and the AW in Britain this year and it's hard to believe he's worth his current mark. |
40/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
10th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Won twice for Ger Lyons last summer, making all in a 6f handicap at the Curragh last August; well beaten in two runs for Charles Byrnes last autumn and he hasn't fired in three runs for his new connections either; latest York run was slightly more encouraging so he's worth a market check dropping into a Class 4 and returning to 6f. |
25/1 |

10th 3 (19) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last summer for Ger Lyons; however, he's been a long way below his best on his last four starts, the first two for Charles Byrnes and the latest two for this yard; transformation needed in first-time tongue-tie. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Narrow defeat in a Sligo maiden in early August followed by a good third on nursery debut at the Curragh; another decent effort off this mark at Fairyhouse on latest; needs to find a bit more to get his head in front. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Below par back over 5f when just behind Zarvali in maiden last time but now returns to 6f over which he was placed off 1lb lower in a nursery at the Curragh; should run well. |
5/1 |
|
8 (11) |
28th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Narrowly denied in a Sligo maiden before hitting the frame on handicap debut last time out; looks like a place player again if he handles the drop back to 5f. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Much improved when an easy winner at Wolverhampton (5f) in February but well below par in Chantilly Listed race (5.5f) and handicap at Royal Ascot (5f) since; no surprise to see him bounce back here. |
7/1 |
|
22th 10 (20) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Won twice on Tapeta over the winter, notably a runaway defeat of Fortification (who is now 8lb higher) at Wolverhampton in February; down the field in a Listed event at Chantilly (5.5f, heavy) in March; unlikely to dominate this field and others are preferred. |
33/1 |

1st 1 (7) |
17th Feb 2026 0m 5f 21y Class 4 |

Made all in a 6f novice at Southwell in good style on his stable debut in December; creditable efforts in handicaps since and returning to 5f shouldn't be an issue; not discounted. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Four runs all over sprint trips, notably Cork maiden fourth; recent handicap debut effort here doesn't suggest he's an obvious candidate for this step up in trip; tongue-tie tried. |
10/1 |
|
4 (3) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
One of two for yard; ran on well for fourth over 5f at Cork in his second maiden; beaten 12.5l in big field maiden over C&D last weekend; looks the type to improve for handicaps but opening mark doesn't look a gift. |
10/1 |
|
9th 12 (11) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Fifth in a Naas barrier trial; no impression at Tipperary on debut; Cork fourth over 5f showed he is beginning to get the hang of things; needs to find extra. |

28th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 180y |
9st 11lb |
Promise in maidens and took a step forward when beaten 1l at the Curragh 12 days ago; 3lb higher but met some trouble in running and ought to go well again with first-time blinkers on. |
7/2 |
|
5 (10) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
One of four for yard; debut run at Cork (5f, good) her best (behind Baker Blue, ahead of Raphello); cheekpieces worn for 5.75l defeat at Down Royal on latest discarded; steps up to 6f for handicap debut and rider takes off 5lb; interesting. |
6/1 |
|
10 (1) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Promise on debut at Cork and again when a 3l fourth of 15 in a Naas maiden earlier this month; well-drawn here and the new cheekpieces could eke out a bit more; big chance if they do. |

Consistent enough in defeat in maidens and nurseries but didn't seem to get home over 6f the last twice including behind Prarie Echoes at Sligo; may do better back to this trip. |
13/2 |
|
6 (12) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Second runner for yard; fifth in first two nurseries over C&D and at Sligo on latest; handicapper slow to relent; more needed off this mark. |

6th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 21y |
9st 12lb |
Regressive RPRs in maidens and was 18-1 when fifth of eight on nursery debut at the Curragh (6f) where she raced too freely; no surprise to see some headgear now turned to. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 80y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Well held in six runs in Ireland last season and no real improvement on her stable debut/reappearance at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last month; needs to improve for the longer trip. |
20/1 |

6th 9 (6) |
22nd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
No progress when down the field in six runs in Ireland last season including three sprint handicaps; resumes off a reduced mark but she needs a transformation for new yard; blinkers removed. |
14/1 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 160y |
9st 6lb |
1-14, the win coming over 7.5f at Roscommon in May (good, 5lb lower); middling efforts at the Curragh and Cork since and he's hard to trust on overall form. |
11/1 |

5th 7 (7) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

1-13, the win coming over slightly shorter at Roscommon last month (good; 5lb lower); however, only midfield at the Curragh since and his form is very up and down. |

7th 10 (21) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |

Uneven form last season; has improved gradually this season; stayed well over an extended 7f to open his account at Roscommon; possibly vulnerable over this trip off 5lb higher mark. |

8st 13lb |
Has had a busy campaign; behind a couple of these when sixth at Naas on penultimate; traffic problems when beaten 1.75l into third at Down Royal latest (5f, yielding); return to 6f fine and in the mix again off the same mark. |
11/4 |

29th Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

18th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 3lb |
Modest maiden form but has shaped promisingly enough in first two handicaps; hampered and clipped heels when a 4.75l sixth on seasonal return and stable debut at Naas (5f, soft); same mark here and nicely drawn; interesting. |
10/1 |

6th 10 (12) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Third runner for yard; no impact in maidens; tongue tie goes on for handicap debut; 3lb wrong (negated by rider's claim) and likely best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

9st 10lb |
Won 7f Dundalk nursery on AW debut last November when trained by Donnacha O'Brien; didn't quite see out the stiff mile when close fourth at Dundalk on yard debut; completely tailed off over 6f at the Curragh on latest; headgear combination is back on eased in grade. |

18th 15 (16) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |

Won a 7f Dundalk nursery win on AW debut last November; confirmed a fair standard of form with two fourth placings later that month; formerly trained by Donnacha O'Brien; did not quite see out the 1m trip when making a satisfactory debut for Sean Hayes at Dundalk in March; one for the shortlist. |
6/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Modest form in turf maidens/nurseries; but made an immediate impact on AW debut over 7f last November; confirmed a fair standard of form with two fourth placings later that month; finished in front of Cosmic Motion in a claimer; has left Donnacha O'Brien to join Sean Hayes. |

9st 5lb |
Both wins have came on AW over 6f at Wolverhampton; raced too freely when a beaten favourite here (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; steps back up in trip and needs to settle better to give herself a chance of getting home. |
4/1 |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Dual Wolverhampton winner earlier in the year, latterly off a 2lb higher mark, who found the race not panning out her way under a hold-up ride last time; having the vastly experience Taryn Langley take off 5lb won't hurt and she's one to consider. |
9/4 |

4th 2 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |

Dual 6f AW winner this year; kept on for very respectable fourth in 0-70 contest over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and is 1lb lower today; probably won't be far away. |
