8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 213y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
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. |

16th Oct 2026 Heavy 0m 7f 212y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
Unraced over 1m and well beaten on stable/AW debut at Southwell (7f) in August; however, he failed to settle and may have needed that latest start, and one of his two wins in Ireland came on heavy ground; no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

16th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 3 |

Won twice on turf in Ireland and had competitive form in a handicap at this trip; latest run there in a new tongue-tie was highly respectable and he could be interesting on yard debut with Billy Loughnane booked; AW debut. |

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. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

2-26 on turf and is 1lb lower than when last scoring at the Galway festival in 2025 (8.5f, soft); well held in the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh on latest and unproven on this surface; 7f is a query too; others preferred. |

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. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
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. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run. |

Often leads, as when beating two rivals in a Beverley seller in July; best effort since when headed near the line at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) last month but he ran flat when turned out quickly at Chester since; has a shade to prove on balance. |
