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. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

C&D handicap winner in May; not beaten far in handicaps at Leopardstown in July and Doncaster 13 days ago; capable of holding his own in this company. |

A bit in and out but he won at the Curragh in May and showed his best form when second at Leopardstown (again 7f on good) in early July on latest outing; left with too much to do in the latter after a slow start, so might still do better. |

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. |

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. |

9st 2lb |
In good form this season since joining this yard, winning twice and career-best second in Group 3 Lacken Stakes over C&D in May (good); well below that level however both starts since at Listed level (hung left latest); visor now replaces hood. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

9st 13lb |
Has been generally consistent in defeat in maidens and handicaps up to 1m without progressing; however, he looked like a step up in trip was needed over 7f at Gowran last time so is noted dropped 4lb. |

Placed in several maidens last season at 6f-1m; fine return to action at Fairyhouse (6f, good) in June when a luckless fourth but hasn't improved on that twice since, albeit not beaten far at the Curragh on latest in this headgear combination; unproven on soft. |

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. |
