29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Was well fancied for a Punchestown bumper on debut and ran well enough in defeat; raced too keenly when well beaten at Galway next time but was more settled in a hood when winning at Perth last time, though did hang; yard first-string and a big player; penalised 7lb. |

10st 13lb |
Market leader when fifth of 24 at Punchestown in April and again strong in the market when racing too freely at Galway; clearly held in some regard and the hood could make a difference. |

Blue Bresil gelding attracted market support on debut at Punchestown (16.5f, gd-yld) in April and ran a nice race in fifth (fourth has won since); should improve plenty from that and yard won this in 2020; obvious chance if ready after 90 days off. |

Fair hurdler and ran well in a couple of maidens last summer; hasn't had much Flat racing and ordinary form on the level thus far; first time in headgear. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Unplaced in four Flat runs; has been running over hurdles recently and went very close in a Down Royal maiden hurdle in August (2m4f, good to firm); tailed off at Navan when last seen (2m, soft to heavy); makes AW debut now. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Point winner was fourth in a Stratford maiden hurdle on debut (jumped poorly); was better when a 13l runner-up at Ballinrobe (jumped left); has ability but jumping is a concern and might be better going right-handed. |
11/4 |

2nd 5 |
11th Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 218y |
11st 6lb |
Won a 2m4f point-to-point (good) in Britain in May; jumped poorly when a 6.25l fourth of 9 in a Stratford maiden hurdle early last month; this trip more suitable and he is open to improvement; not discounted. |

Half-brother to very useful Flat racer Temple Church and to stable's useful jumper Hallowed Star; led close home to make winning debut in five-runner maiden point in Wales (2m4f, good) in May; rules debut today. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Soundly beaten over hurdles on his last three starts; best British Flat form was at 1m4f; questions to answer dropped to 7f. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
Rated 69 on the Flat; built on a middling hurdles debut at Listowel to finish an 8l fourth of seven at Down Royal when running too keenly and fading late on (2m4f, good to firm); return to this distance may suit and not totally ruled out. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 7lb |
Well clear of the third when runner-up in a Clonmel maiden in October (2m4f, good); out of contention when a faller at the last hurdle on handicap debut later that month on soft ground at Limerick (2m4f, soft); return to better ground can help. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 92y |
11st 12lb |
Well clear of the third when runner-up in a maiden at Clonmel last time; likely to make his presence felt but may struggle to reverse Navan form with Welluknow. |
5/1 |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y |
11st 11lb |
Soundly beaten twice over hurdles in France last year; the best of three runs for this yard when fifth (beaten 8l) at Down Royal; lesser effort at Navan and has to resume progress. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Beaten 23l and 24l in bumpers at Cork (7/2 fav') and Galway (40/1); likely capable of better but not easy to fancy either. |

Order Of St George filly; second foal of a French 1m3f-2m winner (RPR 86); 20-1, dropped out quickly on debut in Cork bumper in May; best watched here on hurdles debut. |
