8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |

Four runs for Mike Murphy have yielded three heavy defeats and a shock 1m2f win at Windsor in May; opposable on balance of form. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
In his third yard since leaving Aidan O'Brien last autumn; third run for current trainer when upped to 1m2f and tongue tied first time at Windsor (good to firm) last month, starting 50-1 in a six-runner race but leading 1f out and narrowly holding off two challengers; back up just 1lb but this is another new trip and it's a vastly more competitive race. |

Not particularly solid on his 7f/1m form for a few yards since leaving Ballydoyle; chance largely depends on the effects of new trip and first-time tongue-tie. |

Two 1m wins last year (including on heavy) and back to form after a short break to win at Gowran last month under a positive ride from today's rider (7f, good); 5lb rise seems fair, could go well. |

Both wins have been at the Curragh over 6f-7f and in varying ground; solid efforts all three starts this year including over 6f at this track last week; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by a tongue-tie; needs more on these terms. |

Two-time C&D winner on heavy off higher marks; went close again over C&D in October, again on heavy; caught the eye when short of room and not beaten far at Killarney on latest (1m, good); softer conditions would be preferable but he's got plenty of decent form on this sort of ground and his yard targets this meeting; chance. |

Is just 2-25 but ran a cracker in this race last year, just getting chinned after forcing the pace; hasn't repeated that level in four runs this year but is off a dangerous mark if getting back to best; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Only two wins from 22 Flat starts; however, he won a C&D handicap 12 months ago, and has been placed nine times; below best on seasonal debut at the Curragh in April; more like it when fifth at the same venue in May; drawn high. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |

2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

Won on debut for Joseph O'Brien; his only effort of note in six starts for current yard (two here) was last month's selling win at Beverley (extended 1m) when odds-on in beating two rivals (in this first-time headgear); back in a handicap last time and was found wanting, albeit over 1m2f; others preferred. |

Capitalised on a golden opportunity for easy win at 8-13 in a seller at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; that may have given his confidence a boost and he's unexposed in the retained tongue-tie/cheekpieces, but he's opposable on what he's achieved in handicaps this season. |
