15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Won twice in Ireland last season before closing out with two lesser efforts in Listed company; struggled for his current yard, coming a stone down the weights, and again didn't achieve much last time when fourth of five on turf here. |
12/1 |

4th 3 (3) |
25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's struggled since and has form figures of 89089 for his current yard; lost to prove. |
25/1 |

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. |

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. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Front-runner who was sixth of 18 to Naana's Shadow at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm) and has been placed at Pontefract either side of that (5f, good to firm; most recently on Sunday); back into a more competitive race today but this track should suit his style and he has an each-way chance. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 3y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Front-runner who was overhauled by Badri when runner-up over C&D (good to firm) last month and he again ran well when sixth of 18 at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good to firm); this is less competitive; he can make a bold bid. |
8/1 |
|
6th 2 (13) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Front-running winner of two AW races for this yard, at 6f and 5f; 0-9 on turf but he had big tasks either side of a break and he's likely to find this sharp test more to his liking than the one at Pontefract 13 days ago, when he was headed only near the line; likely to give a punchy show. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

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

6th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 21y |

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. |

Ex-Irish filly who was going beyond 6f for the first time when winning here (7.3f, soft) in June on her second stable start; 7lb higher today and on different ground, but she had 3l in hand last time and could have more to offer at this sort of trip; key player. |

2nd Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 73y |

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. |

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. |

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

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

Maiden has shaped promisingly in first two runs for this yard; beaten 2.25l at Cork (5f, good) and 4.25l when fourth of 19 at Naas (5f, good); same mark here and cheekpieces go on; considered but softer ground would be a query. |
9/1 |

4th 9 (12) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Ran her best race on stable debut for a third trainer over 5f at Cork nine days ago when sent off the 11-4 favourite and keeping on late for second; that was a first run for 125 days, she's out again quickly but interesting if her supporters return. |
9/2 |

2nd 9 (9) |
14th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Now making her first appearance for her third trainer; hard to make a strong case for her following a moderate run at Bellewtown in April; Naas run on seasonal debut was better. |

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. |
25/1 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
