Ran well in two of three maidens; gelded before returning from a break to win a C&D nursery; rated 82 and has to improve plenty more. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Has contested some good-class maidens, catching the eye in fourth on debut at Gowran (7f, soft) and arguably a better run when sixth at the Curragh (7f, good); far too keen in first-time tongue-tie at Down Royal and has been gelded since; cheekpieces added here; could go well. |

Caught the eye in fourth on debut at Gowran (7f, soft) and arguably a better run when sixth at the Curragh (7f, good) on latest; now tongue tied but an interesting runner, nonetheless. |

Sole win came in a Galway nursery on soft ground in July; was poor in a similar race at the Curragh last time and has a lot to find in this company; looks yard's second-string. |

One of two for yard; has progressed since tackling handicaps, winning at Galway off 72 and runner up over this C&D off 81 last time out (4lb higher now); decent run in the Ballyhane sandwiched between those efforts; needs to improve further to win off this mark. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Gained a second career win when beating Zenford by a short head at the Curragh (7f, good) on penultimate; soundly beaten off 5lb higher mark back there on latest; may be on a tough mark for now. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Gained second career win on latest over C&D (good) and the runner up Zenford has won since; 5lb rise for that short-head success seems fair and his C&D form figures now read 311; should be in the mix again. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 3f 210y |
10st 0lb |
Off the mark on seasonal return at Navan in March (1m2f, heavy); not so good in 1m4f events since, upset in stalls at Cork and made much of running in first-time cheekpieces at Leopardstown before fading; headgear left off now but remains unproven at this trip; drops in grade. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Off the mark on seasonal return at Navan in March (1m2f, heavy); upset in stalls when beaten 3.75l by Darius Dark off 12lb higher mark at Cork (gd-yld); can give a good account if the cheekpieces have a positive effect. |
15/2 |

Much-improved on last month's seasonal return when running away with 1m2f Navan handicap off 59 (second has run well since); up 12lb for that and goes further up in trip here in a better race. |

Two best efforts have come over this sort of trip including when fifth of eight at the Curragh last week; potential pace angle and slow ground should be fine. |

5th 7 (4) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Best run when fourth of six in Leopardstown maiden over slightly further; left with a fair bit to do under 10lb claimer on recent handicap debut at Killarney (1m); don't rule out. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Best run was the middle one when fourth of six at Leopardstown, beaten about 8l; raced freely last time at Bellewstown (1m) and finished last; enough to prove on nursery debut. |

8st 9lb |
In good form this season since joining this yard; started the campaign with a Naas handicap win off 72 (5f, soft) and now rated 101; beaten a head by Havana Anna in Naas Group 3 on penultimate; jockey reported she stopped quickly when last at Cork latest; capable of better but risky after that. |

Won her maiden over C&D on good ground last year for Jack Davison; an improved performer this season, winning twice (including back here) and outrunning her odds of 50-1 in a 6f Group 3 at Naas four weeks ago; races prominently and could prove tough to reel in back at 5f, for all that she's in against her elders this time. |

Ran several solid races in defeat last year for Natalia Lupini up to a mile; gelded since and looks to be new yard's selected on jockey bookings so can run well if ready enough. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Four runs all over sprint trips, notably Cork maiden fourth; recent handicap debut effort here doesn't suggest he's an obvious candidate for this step up in trip; tongue-tie tried. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
One of two for yard; ran on well for fourth over 5f at Cork in his second maiden; beaten 12.5l in big field maiden over C&D last weekend; looks the type to improve for handicaps but opening mark doesn't look a gift. |
10/1 |

9th 12 (11) |
9th Aug 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Fifth in a Naas barrier trial; no impression at Tipperary on debut; Cork fourth over 5f showed he is beginning to get the hang of things; needs to find extra. |
