20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Holds a big chance in theory, though possibly flattered by a juvenile rating of 105 acquired after a four-race campaign, highlighted by a Galway maiden win; beaten favourite when fourth of eight in a high-class edition of the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes won by Christmas Day; ended with a low-key display in a Group 1 at Saint-Cloud; unknown quantity as a stayer. |

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. |

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

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. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |

Useful soft-ground form at two; Leopardstown fourth in first-time headgear has worked out well; was keeping on well then, but still has stamina to prove. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |

0-5; promise in maidens but hasn't made an impact in first two handicaps, here last October (1m, yld-sft) and at the Curragh when last seen in April (1m, sft); cheekpieces reached for and a bit to prove for now. |

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. |

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. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
195,000gns yearling; beaten a fair way in two 1m soft-ground maidens in Ireland for Jessica Harrington last autumn, but has been found an uncompetitive race for his stable debut (same owner) after 229 days off, having been gelded since last seen; the longer trip should suit on breeding and he's respected. |

8th 11 (6) |

A 195,000gns yearling; fourth foal; half-brother to winners Glam De Vega and Banderas; dam Listed winner at 1m2f and later at 1m4f winner, closely related to 2,000 Guineas winner Poetic Flare; plenty keen on Galway debut in September but shaped with some promise when staying on late into modest fourth; improvement expected. |

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. |

2nd Aug 2025 Soft 1m 0f 73y |

31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 2lb |
Has left modest Flat form behind with runner-up finishes in three starts over hurdles; beaten only a neck at Killarney in July; the margin was over 5l at Ballinrobe, and he was trounced at Killarney 11 days ago; however, still has good prospects of exploiting his modest Flat mark. |

2nd 8 |
20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Has left moderate Flat form behind with runner-up finishes in two starts over hurdles; beaten a neck over C&D in July but needs to settle better on the basis of his 5.5l defeat at Ballinrobe last time; best hurdles form on offer here but vulnerable to one more talented coming off the Flat. |
5/2 |

2nd 4 |
10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |

Beat very few rivals in three Flat maidens last year; sixth of 14 on Flat handicap debut at Gowran; stepped up on his modest Flat form when second on hurdles debut at Killarney, solid chance |

Front-running fifth at 200-1 in a 9.5f Ballinrobe maiden on penutlimate looks like a bit of an aberration based on overall form; hard to make a case for. |

Had shown very little until front-running 200-1 fifth in 9.5f maiden at Ballinrobe; dropping back in trip might suit; second runner for yard. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
An improver this season, with his only blip coming on heavy ground in the Italian Derby; got messed about when fourth of the six runners in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket a month ago (good to firm); not yet exposed and Ryan Moore rides. |
5/2 |

4th 3 (1) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Improved form over 1m2f at the other Newmarket track on his first two starts this season, winning a handicap (on good) and third of five in a Listed race (good to firm); the Derby Italiano on heavy ground last time did not work out but he returns to a handicap on what looks a pretty good mark. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 (5) |
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. |
