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. |

9st 9lb |
Minor promise in three runs on the Flat (rated 76); pleasing run on hurdles debut at Leopardstown last December; built on that to land a Cork maiden (yielding) under a positive ride in a first-time tongue tie, beating a 121-rated horse by 10l; fine effort when chasing home Saratoga in Grade 1 juvenile event at the Punchestown festival; strong contender. |

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. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 135y |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in a heavy ground Flat maiden for Donnacha O'Brien; third in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle over 2m3f his best effort over hurdles but comes here on the back of a reasonable run in a Dundalk Flat handicap; any rain that falls should suit. |
9/2 |

3rd 10 (6) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Fit from hurdling, though he has shown a modest standard of form; ran in three Flat maidens for Donnacha O'Brien last season; by far his best run when 6l second to Amplitude (now rated 79) on heavy ground at Gowran; rated 69, may improve on first Flat attempt beyond 1m2f |

5th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Fair ex-Irish maiden; yet to really fire for his current yard and came in a well-held tenth of 12 in 11.5f Haydock handicap last month; cheekpieces are reached for on his Tapeta debut. |

Fair form in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh in 2025 and for his new handler in May; gelded since coming in a creditable last of three in 1m4f Beverley novice; can't be dismissed. |

£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 |

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. |

9st 3lb |
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. |

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. |

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. |
