24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third in a quality Navan Listed race the time before; heavy ground a possible excuse when disappointing off top weight at Listowel in September; gelded since and he went close on his seasonal return last year. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third to the classy Carmers in a Navan Listed race over 1m5f the time before; the form of that race is strong and he can go well on return if handling this ground even under a big weight. |

Showed ability last season and was only beaten a head in a Leopardstown maiden on return before finishing third of seven in Listed company; not sure to appreciate slower conditions but will be a major player if he does. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. |

7th 5 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |

Recent hurdle runs have been disappointing; ended last Flat season with a good 1m6f effort, taking second behind the subsequent Fred Winter winner Saratoga at Listowel. |

4th 2 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Useful staying handicapper on the Flat (rated 91); let down by jumping on hurdles debut (before brought down); much improved to land Punchestown maiden in January, jumping much more fluently and responding well to pressure to collar the hot favourite; flopped when well fancied at Naas last month. |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
One of two for trainer; some decent runs in defeat when trained in Britain and off the mark immediately on Irish debut in a Roscommon maiden over 1m4f in August; built on a decent stable debut here in November when cosily winning a C&D handicap last time off 86; race conditions suit and is a leading contender. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Some decent runs in defeat when trained in UK; got off the mark on debut for this yard when winning a 1m4f Roscommon maiden; the third that day has since won a maiden; handled soft on debut and is one to consider. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 6 (5) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Fifth start when winning a 1m4f Tramore maiden last August, looking as if he would stay further; it was heavy ground when he had a respectable attempt at 1m6f handicap next time, so he remains unexposed on this first start since leaving Jessica Harrington for 90,000gns in October; could be major player. |
7/2 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |

Got off the mark on fifth start when winning a 1m4f Tramore maiden last month; looked like he would stay further that day but questions about this ground as his worst effort was on soft. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; hinted there was a bigger performance in him when placed in first three maiden hurdles, one over this C&D (yielding) and twice at Naas on softer ground; duly delivered the goods on handicap debut, winning the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, gd-sft) by 2.25l off 130; steps into Grade 1 company for the first time and very much respected. |
5/1 |

1st 9 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Six Flat runs for Aidan O'Brien, best form at 1m6f/2m; jumping was ropey in his first two defeats over hurdles but that part of his game improved when a rallying second in a rated hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) that has delivered four of the last seven winners of this race; probably peaking at the right time when this has all the hallmarks of a long-term plan; seems versatile ground-wise; lots to like. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 158y |
11st 0lb |
Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy (rated 92); promising hurdles debut when never-nearer third (3.25l behind Minella Boss) at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and probably similar level of form in C&D maiden last month, still novicey in jumping; gives the impression improvement likely given better jumping. |

Rated 72 after five starts on turf at 9.5f to 1m6f on a variety of ground; was due to run in a C&D claimer last week but was off feed; place chance on best form if handling this surface. |
7/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 55y |

Solid efforts in defeat in maidens over shorter but has been getting outpaced late on; could find improvement up in trip on handicap debut but needs to. |
