Too high in the ratings since a Gowran maiden win last autumn; however, he ran well over 1m4f here on latest, form boosted when runner-up Obscenity continued a good spell of form with a Gowran success. |

3rd 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |

Decent third in a Kilbeggan 4yo maiden hurdle last month (2m3f, good); didn't back it up over 15.5f (yld-sft) at Roscommon latest; could improve on handicap debut for top yard; can't discount. |

A 70-rated Flat maiden with Donnacha O'Brien last year; had two low-key runs in maiden hurdles before showing signs of progress when third at Kilbeggan 11 days ago; has the measure of Earthwatch on that evidence. |

Maiden hasn't built on promising stable debut/seasonal return when a close fourth of 16 at this venue in June (1m5f, good); same mark here and yard in form but must rebound from a couple of below par efforts. |

Improved effort on debut for this yard at Navan (1m5f, good) last month when a staying on fourth over 1m5f (good); badly away and didn't handle track at Bellewstown latest so that run forgiven. |

Much-improved effort on debut for this stable at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago when keeping on for a 1.25l fourth of 16; should go well again off 1lb higher if in the same mood. |

Filled the third spot in final two starts last year at Killarney (1m3f, soft) and Musselburgh (1m5f, soft); prominent before weakening into a 19.5l tenth of 13 on seasonal return; could improve. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Returned from Flat to get off the mark last month when well-supported in 2m2f Ballinrobe handicap hurdle, keen and taking wide course but seeing it out well from the last (Le Diablo third); 8lb rise but 5yo could still have more improvement in him. |

Ended last Flat season with a respectable fifth on handicap debut in a 25-runner 1m2f Curragh race on heavy ground; fit from hurdling before beginning new Flat campaign with an encouraging fifth at Leopardstown; not as good at that venue last time, but may improve on previous hurdling form. |

Encouragement in her 6.75l seventh of 19 on debut at Naas (1m, good to yielding); a little below that at Navan last time when sent off 9-2; improvement to win this is not beyond the realms of possibility. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Hit the crossbar over an extended 1m2f at Naas (good to yielding) on handicap debut off 2lb higher; reasonable effort back in a maiden at Gowran next time when fourth; the heavy ground was perhaps not to his liking when last seen at Gowran when 23l behind; chance. |

Didn't show much in opening two maidens but getting the hang of things since, finishing fifth of 11 in a 1m Limerick maiden before hitting the crossbar over extended 1m2f at Naas on handicap debut; another reasonable maiden run over C&D last time; tongue-tie on now and he is appealing. |

4yo comes here on a hat-trick, following wins in 2m3f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and on chase debut earlier this month when made plenty of use of for ready success in 2m6f Tramore beginners' (good), jumping soundly in the main; tougher task awaits here on handicap debut but respected. |
