9st 2lb |
Is 0-7 but produced his best run yet when a 0.5l second of 12 in first-time visor (retained) at Sligo (6f, yielding) 24 days ago; nudged up 2lb but seems to act on most ground and rider takes off valuable 7lb; shortlisted. |

Yet to place, but two creditable efforts in big-field Curragh handicaps and has had a break since finishing tamely over 7f at Gowran; handles an ease and headgear goes on; drops in grade too. |

Has left 2yo form well behind since being gelded and going handicapping, winning easily at Dundalk, dead-heating at Chepstow and finishing second at Doncaster (6f), having travelled well into contention; now 12lb higher than when winning at Down Royal so more needed but possible. |

He has left his 2yo form well behind him since gelded and handicapping, winning easily at Dundalk in April before dead-heating at Chepstow last month (both 5f); 6f should suit and he could have more in the tank. |

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. |

Won his maiden over C&D last December and overall form figures here read 2313; not as consistent on turf this season; ran well at Cork in June but down the field on latest at the Curragh; another one that could potentially improve now returned to the AW, but he's 4lb wrong here. |

Won an AW maiden over this trip last November; some fine efforts in defeat since up to 1m2f before notching another success in a Killarney conditioins race last time; a 7lb penalty for that brings him up to 94 so is carrying 2lb more than his revised mark; needs more. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair AW form when trained in Ireland and he was a shade unfortunate not to land good market support on his stable debut here (6f) last week, short of room and losing a good position early in the race and missing out by just a nose at the finish; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and his Irish win came over this trip so there is plenty to like about his chance. |

Ran to a similar level in four starts for Aidan O'Brien and was returning from a wind operation when third of nine in a C&D novice (first-time visor and tongue-tie) on his stable debut 18 days ago; better is needed from his opening mark on this handicap debut. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 4 |

Showed a consistent level of form in four defeats (6f-7f) for Aidan O'Brien, whom he left for 24,000gns; has definite form claims but he's undergone wind surgery, sports new headgear (tried blinkers on second run) and has been off since October; market confidence would be welcomed. |

All three starts over 6f at the Curragh; Ran poorly when 50-1 on debut last June; stronger in the betting the next twice and ran much better, beaten just 1l when third of 16 behind Mumhan (yld-sft) and beaten 2.25l when runner up behind Silk Braid (yielding); should appreciate the step up to 7f and big chance if ready after break. |
