16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Nicely improved on yard debut to win over this trip at Navan last month, didn't appear to stay 1m4f at Galway 16 days later; could still have more to offer at this trip. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 84y |

Ordinary form in three maiden runs last season; similar story on seasonal/handicap debut at Roscommon in May; battled well to win at Navan on first outing for the stable; 9lb rise may anchor him |

Didn't show much in three maiden runs last season; similar story on seasonal return and handicap debut at Roscommon in May; has moved to a new yard; 5lb wrong and likely best watched. |

9st 6lb |
Well backed when second at Gowran Park and then stayed on best over 1m1f at Punchestown (good); 5lb higher but looks on the upgrade and Reese Holohan is booked; promises to stay this far. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |
9st 7lb |
Attracted strong market support on seasonal return at Gowran in May (1m, gd-yld) and found just one too good; absence since a slight concern but should stay this longer trip and obvious claims off the same mark. |

Ran okay in 7f nursery here and well backed 4-1 fav at Galway next start, would have been a few places closer but for meeting trouble in running; cheekpieces tried there are left off for this return; hasn't fully shown his hand yet, and has been found a winnable contest if he's ready; draw has been kind too. |

30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Two wins here this year, the first of them on soft; bolted up the second time in July; was being primed for another win here when his intended race was cancelled in August; went to Navan instead, where well held up in grade, but a danger to all back here and back down in grade. |

Third reserve; hasn't had a lot of racing and won easily at Bellewstown (1m, good; fine on soft) to earn this 13lb higher mark; definite chance if getting a run. |

Irish challenger who goes from the front and has been in excellent form back home, last time a game winner at Gowran Park (1m, good; fine on faster); expect a positive ride back over 7f. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Never saw another rival when making all at Cork (1m, good) to win by 3l; raised 10lb for that but almost repeated the dose at York two weeks ago when headed late on into second (1m, good to firm); raised another 4lb now, but he's thriving and is firmly in the mix. |

10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 192y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Pulled too hard under restraint when a beaten favourite at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and a return to front running worked a treat at Cork (1m, good) since, making all by over 3l; the handicapper hasn't missed him but this course often suits similar tactics and David Marnane had a winner here last month. |

C&D winner in February off 8lb lower; beaten less than 2l in a big field at the Curragh on latest (6f, good), staying on well, and eased 1lb for that effort; return to 7f on the AW could enable him to get his head back in front; leading claims. |

9st 0lb |
Showed promise for 10lb claimer Enola Pollet (rides Jon Riggens here) before Billy Lee took over for a 7f Dundalk win; has since finished second over 1m at the same venue; previous 6f form is weak, but he is more mature now, and his trainer is a master with sprinters. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 (8) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Showed promise in three 7f runs for a 10lb claimer before Billy Lee took over three week ago; got up in the final strides and should remain competitive on his first attempt at this distance. |

Looked in need of further when running over 6f at Navan on handicap debut; however, he ran poorly when raised in trip at Galway; official rating of 64 is short of the standard likely to be required, even though this looks like a weak maiden. |

Starspangledbanner colt finished runner-up on first two starts in maidens at Galway and Gowran before emphatic winner of similar Curragh contest last month, appreciating softer ground; type to continue improving and could play a role here. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Bumped into subsequent Futurity Stakes winner Constitution River on debut at Galway and might have met another decent sort at Gowran since; needs to take a step forward to win but should be involved again. |

2nd Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

A E130,000 yearling; no match for the front-running Constitution River on debut at Galway; however, finished well clear of the third (another wide gap to the fourth) and the form was franked by the winner in landing the Group 2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh; tongue-tie fitted now. |

9st 3lb |
Only his sixth race and the first over this far when nicely on top late on at Navan (good), accounting for a subsequent winner in the process; that was under a 5lb claimer and he's up 6lb, but looks a horse on the upgrade. |

Raced keenly but finished a 1.5l third at Tramore on just his second handicap start 12 days ago (1m4f, gd-yld); will need to settle better if he is to see out this longer trip. |

Bolger-bred Teofilo gelding; good fourth in a hot Curragh maiden last year; okay comeback over 1m at Leopardstown, and soft ground probably the reason for a poor display on handicap debut at same track; gelded since and steps up in trip here. |

Ghaiyyath colt made 200,000 as a foal but only 100,000gns as a yearling; half-brother to 5f-6f winner Pipsy (inc 2yo/AW/US Grade 2; RPR 115); dam unraced half-sister to French 12.5f Group 2 winner Ziyad; promising Curragh debut last month, getting up late for second behind ready winner Spangled Sands (runs in Group 3 later on) after getting worked up beforehand and running green; big scopey colt, could well improve enough to play a major role. |

Too Darn Hot filly cost 22,000gns as a yearling; first foal; dam runner-up at 1m (RPR 82), closely related to 1m Group 2 winner Century Dream, half-sister to Group 1 mile winner King Of Change; bred to want further, market best guide on debut. |

Placed six times from 10 starts from 7f-11.5f on different ground; longer trip didn't bring about improvement at Killarney before disappointing odds-on favourite at the Curragh latest; she's expensive to follow but sets a good standard; O'Brien's sole runner on the card. |

Placed six times in maidens from 7f-11.5f on different ground; longer trip didn't bring improvement from her at Killarney last time when again runner-up (11.5f, good); she's expensive to follow, but sets the standard and her day is sure to come someday soon. |
