25th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Made all in a maiden at the Curragh (1m, good) in August on his second run and did likewise in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes there (1m, yielding to soft) four weeks ago; powered clear in impressive fashion last time and his dam was a two-time Group 1 winner for his top connections; major player. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Was 3.75l behind Geryon on debut over 7f but improved raised to this trip when scoring here last time after setting steady fractions; Port Of Spain was 5l away in third that day; likely to be still improving and seems to be the stable's selected runner so can run well. |

9st 5lb |
Won maiden here on debut (7f, good); ran with real credit in Group 2s here on his next two starts over 7f (good) and 1m (good); stayed on well for fourth on seasonal return in Leopardstown Group 3 (behind Redemption Road, ahead of Iron Lily); return to 1m a plus and he's a leading contender. |

12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 42y |
9st 5lb |
Long-priced Curragh maiden winner on debut last August; subsequently form ties in with smart Ballydoyle colts Constitution River and Hawk Mountain; Beresford Stakes second was advertised by Hawk Mountain in winning the William Hill Futurity; tongue-tie on now. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Both starts over 7f at this track; belied market weakness to make a striking winning debut in August and ran a cracker when second in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes later that month; he was a bit keen then so will have to relax up to this trip but has the form to win if doing so. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Smart level of form in three runs at the Curragh last year, notably only losing second late on in 5-runner Group 2 Beresford Stakes won easily by recent Prix du Jockey Club runner-up Hawk Mountain; missed intended comeback (due to testing ground) last month, and worth noting he wasn't declared to run in a tongue-tie then; even if his mark proves to be somewhat inflated, should be winning this. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Both runs over 7f here and posted identical RPRs when running solid races in defeat; looked unlucky on debut but was 2.75l behind Geryon on latter occasion so will have to improve to beat that rival today. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Improved from his debut when chasing home Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk last August; found the competition too hot in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; made a fine start to the season when beating two subsequent winners in a C&D maiden; got upset in the stalls when failing to build on that in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown. |

10th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Improved from his debut in a 7f course maiden dominated by Aidan O'Brien when chasing home Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk; found the competition too hot in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; made a fine start to the season when beating two subsequent winners in a 1m2f Curragh maiden; not out of place in this company now that he is more mature. |

1st 9 (5) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Improved from his debut in a 7f course maiden dominated by Aidan O'Brien when chasing home the subsequent Saint-Cloud Group 1 winner Pierre Bonnard over 1m at Dundalk; found the competition too hot in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; 102 official rating (or even the more conservative 94 RPR) more than enough to win if he handles the ground. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Won a Punchestown maiden (1m, good to yielding) in September on third start; came up short in his three subsequent races but they were all Group events (1m/1m1f) and he improved in terms of ratings; cheekpieces go on today; although his Derby entry may not mean a great deal, as he's one of 16 from his top stable, they won this race in 2023 and 1m2f+ can suit. |
4/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won a Punchestown maiden on his third start (1m, gd-yld); last of five stepped up to Group 2 company in the Beresford Stakes at the Curragh latest (1m, yld-sft); stable probably has stronger claims with Piazza San Marco and Christmas Day. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Finished behind both Geryon and Hawk Mountain in maidens at this track before getting off the mark at Punchestown; still improving but has work to do to get the better of that pair. |
