9st 5lb |
One of three for yard; ran green on debut at Fairyhouse but much more like it when making all under Ronan Whelan for an easy 3.25l win second time up at Galway (8.5f, soft); won't mind if there's any rain and he could make a bold bid. |

9st 7lb |
Looked badly in need of the experience first time out at Fairyhouse in June; could be a different proposition now that he steps up in trip with a run under his belt; stable has won six of the last seven editions of this maiden, and 11 of the last 14. |

St Mark's Basilica colt; dam 1m 2yo/1m2f Listed winner (RPR 104), half-sister to winners September (7f 2yo Listed), Sir John Hawkins (Group-placed 6f 2yo) and Wisconsin (useful 12.5f), out of Irish Oaks/Yorkshire Oaks winner; beautifully bred newcomer but his stablemates have racecourse experience over him this time. |

9st 12lb |
Fair form in maidens before 5 1/2l fourth in a Leopardstown nursery; all four juvenile runs were in races won by Ballydoyle inmates; interesting now on the strength of Gowran third behind Ballysax winner and Classic hope Christmas Day. |

9st 7lb |
Looks reasonably treated on last two maiden runs over this trip, at Galway and when staying 4l third of 9 at Gowran (heavy); staying sort, will appreciate a truly-run race and definite contender in such circumstances. |

3rd 7 (9) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Looked raw on debut at the Curragh when well behind but much improved at Galway earlier this month when 3.25l behind what looked an above-average rival, and nicely clear of the third; that run makes him a leading candidate. |

9st 6lb |
Placed on all three starts; however, all have been in small-field races and he was beaten 5 1/2l in first-time cheekpieces by a stable outsider at Tipperary 11 days ago; apparent selected for trainer who also saddles three newcomers and should go close. |

3rd 1 (4) |
9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
9st 7lb |
Fourth in Naas barrier trial in May; promising Killarney run in July when 20-1 stable second-choice, staying on for third ahead of an odds-on favourite stablemate; improvement likely but perhaps the outsider of Joseph O'Brien's pair again. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |

Last of eight on debut at Leopardstown; big price when around 8l fourth of nine over C&D at the festival; likely to find a few too good. |

1st May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Ballydoyle colt who got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his stable debut in a Wolverhampton novice (9.4f, AW) in December and followed up over this C&D (good) 16 days ago on his first handicap start; could continue to progress but does need another step forward today. |

1st 4 (8) |
15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
Some improvement in maidens in the mud for Aidan O'Brien in the autumn; 30,000gns purchase and first-time cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) when getting off the mark at first time of asking for new yard in seven-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in December, making all; needs a chunk of improvement on this handicap debut but the trip should not be a problem. |
12/1 |

20th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 75y |

One of three for yard; beaten a long way on debut but some promise at Tipperary since with blinkers on; needs a fair bit more with the headgear retained. |
