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. |

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. |

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. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |

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 |
11st 3lb |
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. |
6/1 |

8th 11 (7) |

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. |

Just five Flat races, faring easily best when he won a handicap at Bellewstown (1m3f, soft) last month; returned to hurdling for a respectable show at Punchestown festival 19 days ago; his trainer's three runners at Chester last week were all well held, albeit with two in the Chester Cup, but this one should have more to offer in this sphere and goes on the shortlist. |
