9st 6lb |
Placed on all three starts; however, all have been in small-field races and he was beaten 5 1/2l in first-time cheekpieces by a stable outsider at Tipperary 11 days ago; apparent selected for trainer who also saddles three newcomers and should go close. |

Fourth in Naas barrier trial in May; promising Killarney run in July when 20-1 stable second-choice, staying on for third ahead of an odds-on favourite stablemate; improvement likely but perhaps the outsider of Joseph O'Brien's pair again. |

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. |

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. |

Showed a little on only start at two; has failed to build on that this season; hood and tongue-tie for the first time; champion jockey booked, so may not be a lost cause. |

9st 8lb |
A 60,000euros breeze-up purchase; ran only once at two for Natalia Lupini; some merit in his midfield run over 1m at the Curragh in October; has been gelded and should be more mature now; could make a useful recruit for Eoin Griffin. |

9st 10lb |
Left ordinary maiden form behind to win 1m Curragh handicap (soft) on seasonal return; weakened as if something amiss at Cork next time but vet reported gelding to be post race normal; bounce back required in first-time blinkers. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Left ordinary maiden form behind to win a 1m Curragh handicap (soft) by 0.75l on seasonal return two weeks ago, beating a couple of these rivals in the process; 9lb rise partly negated by useful rider's 4lb claim; should go well again. |

9st 8lb |
Flopped when 3-1 for seasonal/handicap debut at Sligo in May; possibly it was soft ground, rather than this trip, which proved his undoing; after being gelded and given a break, he showed improved form in two runs in quick succession during July; holds a definite chance |

2nd 6 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Flopped when 3-1 for seasonal/handicap debut at Sligo in May; it was probably soft ground, rather than this trip, which proved his undoing because (having been gelded and given a break) he ran much better over 1m3f at Killarney on Monday; looked slow but kept plugging away, and gets another change of headgear now. |

Only 3-1 for handicap debut at Sligo in May; ran poorly but maybe soft ground was to blame; gelded since and change of headgear; with the stable so powerful in the 3yo category, plenty will afford him another chance. |

1st 10 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |

Showed promise when keeping on from off the pace in a 1m Curragh maiden last October; confirmed maiden-winning potential with third placing over 1m at Navan on seasonal debut; faded late into fifth over 1m2f at the same venue last time; has much the same chance as Karrygrant on official and RPR figures. |

9st 4lb |
Runner-up in two handicaps at about 1m3f (AW and good turf) for Joseph O'Brien but tailed off when favourite at Roscommon in May; sold for 16,000gns since; has a question mark against him over this trip on yard debut with headgear discarded. |

Was just in front of Sea Of Dubka when second on seasonal/handicap debut on AW (10.5f); 7-2 fav, outpaced turning for home before keeping on well on inner (not much room) when chasing home Femme Beauty at Killarney (1m3f) last week; extra furlong should be fine. |

Beat just a total of two horses in his maidens last season, at 1m, 7f and 6f; however, as a step up in trip made a difference at Dundalk last month when he took second over the extended 1m2f, with Cameclose back in fourth; yard in superb form. |
