12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Progressive juvenile form, placed in maidens at Punchestown and the Curragh before off the mark final start over 1m at Naas in October, making all; should stay 1m2f; type to continue improving and yard have a good recent record in this. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Low-key display over 6f first time out; much better when third behind a well-fancied stablemate over this trip at Punchestown; outpointed by a useful sort in a 1m1f contest; has the beating of Enceladus on that showing; could be hard to beat now with Jack Cleary's claim. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Mild promise over 6f here on debut but much better at Punchestown (8f) last time after a break when just .75l behind stablemate Port Of Spain; that one was due to run in the Beresford Stakes here yesterday; looks a big player. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 3f 150y |
9st 5lb |
An improving 3yo who followed up his maiden win (1m2f, good) with a narrow victory on handicap debut at Listowel (1m4f, yielding) where he was backed into favouritism; he was well placed that day given how the race panned out, but could cope with this 6lb higher mark. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Fulfilled initial promise when comfortably justifying favouritism in a 1m2f maiden at Navan (good) and he looks a good bet to improve for going further now sent into a handicap; dangerously unexposed. |

1st 12 (23) |

Leading claims on his three maiden runs, including last month in cheekpieces when second at Leopardstown and when only losing second close home over this trip at the Curragh, having had every chance. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 115y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won a maiden at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) in April, 19-runner handicap at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) in June and Group 3 Gordon Stakes at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) in July; now wears cheekpieces first time; scopey sort who's found big improvement at 1m4f on his last two starts, taking him to within striking distance of today's top two on form, and he shapes as if he will stay beyond that; lots to like. |
9/4 |

1st 3 (6) |
30th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Won a good duel for maiden at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) in April and followed up in a 19-runner race for handicap debut at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) six weeks ago, challenging entering the straight and tenaciously keeping the rest at bay; no harm for the Ascot form that the second hacked up last Friday and the third was a close third in Listed race; scopey sort who looks open to further improvement and should be a leading player. |
5/2 |

1st 10 (13) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Third in his two maidens as 2yo, before winning one against 15 rivals in a good duel at Cork (10.5f, good to yielding) in April; runner-up took same position behind Cannes three weeks later; Sea The Stars colt who looks scopey and open to plenty of improvement, including at 1m4f; one of four handicap debutants in this for his yard; very much one to note. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Two decent runs in defeat as a 2yo; won a heavy-ground 6f maiden at the Curragh on return but disappointed in the Madrid handicap over 7f a week later; freshened up since and there should be enough ease in the ground so can be a player. |
17/2 |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Good effort to win his third maiden start over 6f at the Curragh last week, appearing to benefit from the addition of cheekpieces (retained) when keeping on well; ground should suit and return to 7f shouldn't be an issue; a lot to like as long as this doesn't come too soon. |

3rd Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Well held in sole start for Aidan O'Brien last October and same story in three runs for current yard, including on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW; 80-1) last month; that was after an absence but he needs improvement on his second run back. |
25/1 |

7th 11 (7) |
17th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Promising fifth on sole start for Aidan O'Brien last October, but below that form for current yard in the winter; steps up in trip on handicap debut with first-time visor replacing cheekpieces; best watched at present. |

Sixth foal; Wootton Bassett colt is a brother to the stable's recent 1m3f maiden winner Gifted, half-brother to Listed winner Espionage; dam won the Ribblesdale and is a half-sister to St Leger winner Simple Verse; stablemate Cape Cod may have too much pace for him. |

8th Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Made a promising introduction in a Naas maiden last September; failed to build on that in two subsequent turf outings; fair fourth of nine in a 7f race of this type on his first outing this year; never counted in a 1m handicap at the same venue. |

New Bay filly related to plenty of winners but she was always in rear on debut at Naas (1m, yielding) a week ago when a 66-1 shot; may need more time. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
A low-rated maiden on the Flat; sprang a 40-1 surprise when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July on his second hurdles start; unseated at the start at Newton Abbot; probably vulnerable with a penalty. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
A lowly rated maiden on the Flat, he sprang a 40-1 surprise when scoring on his second hurdles start at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July; what that form is worth is hard to assess and he shoulders a 7lb penalty so will do well to follow up against some interesting newcomers. |
