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. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 12lb |
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. |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Modest efforts in 1m maidens last year; gelded and returned with a midfield finish on handicap bow at Naas in the Madrid (7f, soft) from 4lb out of the handicap; shaped as though that was needed and this is less demanding; interesting. |

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. |

25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in a maiden at the Curragh (1m, good) in August on his second run and did likewise in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes there (1m, yielding to soft) four weeks ago; powered clear in impressive fashion last time and his dam was a two-time Group 1 winner for his top connections; major player. |

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. |
14/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 9lb |
Lope De Vega colt improved nicely in three runs at two, notably chasing home the high-class Hawk Mountain in Curragh maiden and final start outstayed long-time leader at Gowran in testing conditions, tending to hang right both occasions; Irish Derby entry looks the type to keep improving and considered. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
15/2 |

5th 2 (8) |
16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Punchestown maiden (1m, good to yielding) in September on third start; came up short in his three subsequent races but they were all Group events (1m/1m1f) and he improved in terms of ratings; cheekpieces go on today; although his Derby entry may not mean a great deal, as he's one of 16 from his top stable, they won this race in 2023 and 1m2f+ can suit. |
4/1 |
|
6 (6) |
18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won a Punchestown maiden on his third start (1m, gd-yld); last of five stepped up to Group 2 company in the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh latest (1m, yld-sft); stable probably has stronger claims with Piazza San Marco and Christmas Day. |

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. |
8/1 |

30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
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 |
9st 7lb |
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. |
