10th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Yet to show winning potential over hurdles or in three runs on the Flat; best watched on handicap debut in first time tongue tie and cheekpieces. |

Shown very little over jumps and similar story in two recent Flat runs at huge odds; needs improvement for the switch of surface here. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Minor promise in three runs on the Flat (rated 76); nice run on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; built on that to land a Cork maiden (yielding) under a positive ride in a first-time tongue tie (retained), beating a 121 rated horse by 10l; this is harder but he's well-regarded and unexposed; could go well, though the forecast rain is a concern. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 70y |
11st 7lb |
Ability on the Flat and again on hurdling debut when a 6.75l fourth of 19 in a Leopardstown maiden (2m, yielding) in December; off since and could go close if the new tongue tie ekes out a bit more. |
13/2 |

Not a bad effort on debut over 1m2f at this course behind a potentially smart sort; similar run at Dundalk since and will have to improve a fair bit for this extra trip. |

Reserve; No Nay Never brother to winners Hazel (7f; RPR 84) and Dawn Over Owning (1m6f; 73); never counted after slow start on recent debut in Curragh maiden over this trip; best watched for now. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) last September; a little below that level in two 1m4f handicaps for new yard and even a return to his best may leave him vulnerable against a couple of progressive 3yos from top stables. |
8/1 |

5th 1 (6) |
25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Improved form on final Irish start (about 1m2f; AW) in September; always out the back at Chester (about 1m2f, good; 50-1) recently on handicap and yard debut, but he kept on well enough to think this stiffer track will suit; his mark may still be on the high side, though. |
9/1 |

7th 13 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Ran in four Irish maidens, best when never-nearer third of 14 at Dundalk (10.5f, AW debut) last September on final outing; left Johnny Murtagh and Aga Khan Studs for 24,000euros in November; needs marked improvement on this yard/handicap debut. |

£38,000 yearling; half-brother to French winners Haviassor (9.5f-12.5f; RPR 95) and Hevel (2m3f chase); unraced dam closely related to US 8.5f Grade 2 winner Qurbaan; needs checking in the betting. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; hinted there was a bigger performance in him when placed in first three maiden hurdles, one over this C&D (yielding) and twice at Naas on softer ground; duly delivered the goods on handicap debut, winning the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, gd-sft) by 2.25l off 130; steps into Grade 1 company for the first time and very much respected. |
5/1 |

1st 9 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Six Flat runs for Aidan O'Brien, best form at 1m6f/2m; jumping was ropey in his first two defeats over hurdles but that part of his game improved when a rallying second in a rated hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) that has delivered four of the last seven winners of this race; probably peaking at the right time when this has all the hallmarks of a long-term plan; seems versatile ground-wise; lots to like. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 158y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy (rated 92); promising hurdles debut when never-nearer third (3.25l behind Minella Boss) at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and probably similar level of form in C&D maiden last month, still novicey in jumping; gives the impression improvement likely given better jumping. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Encouraging third of nine over 1m4f here and backed that up with a close second at Leopardstown, dropped to 1m1f; the winner could be very smart, having pushed top-class Henri Matisse close on last year's debut; every chance. |
11/8 |
|
2nd 11 (6) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Made a very pleasing debut despite racing keenly when a 3.25l third of 9 at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and that form was boosted by the fifth Edelak at Galway; the drop in trip is a query but he holds leading claims. |
3/1 |

20th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

New Approach colt is a first foal; dam 1m/1m2f winner (RPR 93), half-sister to winners Fountain (7f) and Latchet (1m-10.6f inc AW) out of 6f Listed/7f 2yo winning half-sister to Listed-placed 7f 2yo winner; not a bad pedigree so worth a market check on debut. |

Rated 75 after five turf starts at around 1m2f; yet to finish closer than 5l to a winner and now tries cheekpieces after wearing a visor on latest and blinkers the time before; switch to AW needs to bring about improvement. |
11/2 |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
9st 3lb |
Decent form in opening two runs but Gowran run was disappointing; she was better at the Curragh last month with a 6.25l fourth; a visor replaces the cheeckpieces worn last time and her form makes her one of the main players here. |
100/30 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Lots to like about her first two runs but Gowran in June was disappointing and blinkers now go on; has the form to feature in a race of this nature should she get herself back on track. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |

Struggled with the surface at Lingfield last November; showed plenty of ability on turf with a wide-margin maiden win at Bellewstown, and is relatively unexposed; one for the shortlist. |
10/1 |

1st 11 (11) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 110y |
9st 3lb |
Both runs on good ground; second at Limerick (1m3f) and then third at the Curragh (1m2f) when behind a good prospect trained by Jim Bolger and an Aidan O'Brien colt who has since won off a mark of 80; every chance. |
