31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 1lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a C&D handicap on yielding ground in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form; something amiss here in June when eased after hanging repeatedly. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |
9st 10lb |
Left previous modest form behind to land a 1m4f (yielding) handicap here on latest start in May; the step up in trip was offered as the reason for the improvement in form, so the drop back in distance here may not be ideal; raised 6lb and quicker ground a worry too in this deeper race. |

Ran respectably in Madrid Handicap over 7f on return, weakened over 1m next time but perhaps that came too soon; up in trip and down in grade now, and gets back onto better ground. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 1 |
9st 1lb |
Won the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) last October and reappeared with Group 3 win at Chantilly (1m1f, good to soft) in May; close second to Constitution River in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly (10.5f, good) next time, then beaten just over 3l by the same stablemate when third in the Eclipse at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm); has work to do but he could show improvement if settling better than on his last two starts. |
16/1 |

3rd 7 (2) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 209y Class 1 |
8st 13lb |
Record of 4-6 includes three Group wins, notably the Futurity at Doncaster last autumn; has taken well to headgear (cheekpieces then blinkers) in two races at Chantilly this season, good second to stablemate Constitution River in the French Derby (10.5f, good) latest; no certainty to reverse placings with that colt, who is still improving, but is building up a solid record and again has place possibilities. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
3yo signed off last season with a Gowran maiden win (8.5f, heavy); narrowly denied by subsequent Queen's Vase winner Limestone on seasonal return in 3yo race at Cork (10.5f, gd-yld); not disgraced in Curragh Group 3 on latest (1m2f, good) and now makes handicap debut; could be on a nice mark based on his Cork form. |

4th 3 (8) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden at Gowran last October after 50-1 second to subsequent Group 1 winner Hawk Mountain at this venue; made a satisfactory return when second of four in a conditions event at Cork; out of his depth in the Chester Vase. |
20/1 |
|
5th 4 (3) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 63y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Irish Derby entry whose dam is sister to Yorkshire Oaks and Vermeille winner Warm Heart; hung markedly right on his last two starts as a 2yo when 50-1 second at the Curragh (good) to subsequent Group 1 Futurity winner Hawk Mountain and going one better in another 1m maiden at Gowran (heavy); made a satisfactory return when second of four in a conditions event at Cork (10.5f, good) 12 days ago; can build on that but he needs to does so in a major way. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |

1st 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 12lb |
Decent form last year included a Group 3 placing behind Derby winner Christmas Day; form has gone the wrong way so far this year, though it wasn't a terrible run at Galway on latest (1m4f, yld-sft); eased 1lb for that 5.25l defeat; needs more back in trip. |

7th 5 (9) |
31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 5lb |
3yo won a 1m maiden (gd-yld) at Punchestown last September; fine run behind Derby winner Christmas Day in a Leopardstown Group 3 in October (1m1f, yielding); not disgraced in London Gold Cup on seasonal return but bombed out in Ascot Group 2 on latest; others preferred. |
10/1 |

11th 8 (5) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Maiden winner who came up short in three Group events as 2yo; 15-2 in cheekpieces for his seasonal/handicap debut in London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) last month, plugging on for a creditable fifth of ten; not far off the best of these on form, as he's kept on improving his rating in defeat, and powerful stable had five possible runners before the declaration stage; very smart half-sister Free Wind won at up to an extended 1m6f, too, but this one still doesn't seem the most striking candidate. |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Okay efforts in both maidens, beaten under 7l in hot maiden here in May and (having been gelded) stayed on late over today's trip at the Curragh in August when 5.5l fourth; more needed. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Gelded since his debut at Leopardstown in May (7f, good) when fifth of six in a good maiden won by the smart Italy; has scope and retains plenty of potential. |

16th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 52y |

Homebred Mehmas colt is second foal of a 7f winner (RPR 81), a sister to useful 7f-2m winner Duty Of Care, and half-sister to Breeders' Cup Mile winner Expert Eye; family of 1,000 Guineas winner Special Duty; top connections, any market strength on debut has to be noted. |

Beaten about 9l in maidens here (7f) and at Leopardstown (1m); has to improve on those efforts. |
