One of three runners for yard; beaten 10l on debut over 6f at Naas in July; gelded since and should do better up in trip today. |

Sioux Nation colt bought for 200,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Ups; half-brother to winners Diego Ventura (6f-7f inc 2yo/Listed) and Taygar (5f-6f inc 2yo); dam 5f 2yo winner; appeals on paper and respected source; interesting newcomer. |

Half-brother to Oaks winner Snowfall; pick of three maiden runs when runner-up in heavy-ground 7f Listowel 2yo maiden; didn't get home over 1m2f in similar conditions on March return at the Curragh and hasn't been seen since; blinkers replace cheekpieces here. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Very smart pedigree; beaten 13l in sixth behind a stablemate on debut at Dundalk after running in snatches; handled heavy groud when second to a shorter-priced stablemate at Listowel; tongue-tie and cheekpieces on now; stable outsider again |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |

Well-bred sort but was beaten 13l by a stablemate on debut at Dundalk after running in snatches; seems yard's second-string again here. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Has left modest Flat form behind with runner-up finishes in three starts over hurdles; beaten only a neck at Killarney in July; margin was over 5l at Ballinrobe; some concern now, since he was trounced at Killarney a month ago (owed his second to a faller at the last) and was disappointing back on the Flat at Roscommon. |
7/4 |
|
10th 16 (19) |
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. |
7/2 |
|
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. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 212y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
11-8 favourite in cheekpieces when he won a maiden at Gowran Park (1m, soft) and conditions event at Naas (10.4f, good; unraced on firmer) on his last two starts; made all and put 4.5l between himself and his rivals over the last 2f on the latest outing; revised mark could still be favourable, including as he's not fully exposed at this trip. |
11/1 |

1st 4 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 84y |
9st 4lb |
Consistent in defeat over 7f/1m before narrowly getting the better of a debuting stablemate over 1m at Gowran, finding plenty off the bridle for McDonogh who said post-race that the gelding might like 10 furlongs. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
New Bay colt who has shown fair form across his three starts (trained first two by Jessica Harrington); went from the front and faded late as if his recent yard debut after nine months off was just needed; blinkers are added for handicap debut. |
15/2 |
|
5th 11 (13) |
18th Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

New Bay colt; shaped with promise on both runs for Jessica Harrington last autumn, still looking green when fourth of 13 in 7f Listowel maiden on latter occasion; more to come for his new yard. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 9lb |
Won on debut at Listowel last September (7f, heavy); two of three subsequent starts have come in Group 3s over 1m at Newmarket (sixth of 7 beaten 3.75l) and on latest in first-time hood (retained) over 1m2f at Leopardstown (last of 5 beaten 5.5l); rated 99, so obvious chance on the figures in this lesser race. |

Justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy); may not have been suited by quick ground in the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket; hooded after disappointing seasonal debut; making up the numbers for Ballydoyle here. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 168y |
8st 8lb |
Ballinrobe 9.5f winner in May (off 48) and recorded second career win last month when making all in 1m4f Tramore rated race; now rated 64, but is at the right end of the handicap with 7lb claimed into the bargain; strong contender. |

Ballinrobe 9.5f winner was no match for Rodeo Blues back there, but is 15lb better off here; well held when second to older rival over C&D last month; usually leads. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Too keen and didn't get home on recent handicap debut at Roscommon (7.5f); lightly raced and could still have more to offer, if settling. |

8th 7 (3) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Handicap debutante; just minor promise in three maidens at 5f-7f; not obviously well treated and best watched here unless the market speaks. |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |

31st Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who has yet to make the frame in five runs for her current yard, a never-dangerous sixth of ten at Musselburgh (5f) 19 days ago; not easy to make a case for. |
14/1 |
