9st 11lb |
Best effort at two when a close fourth in a 6f Naas maiden; flopped in a Dundalk nursery on final start before a winter break; made a pleasing return at the Curragh in June; failed to build on that at Limerick later that month; interesting in this grade. |

Best effort at two when a close fourth in a 6f Naas maiden; flopped in a Dundalk nursery on final start before the winter; now appeals as a possible future winner after Curragh third behind The Pipers Call, who had shown a useful standard of form at two. |

Failed to win in four runs for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland but she showed progressive form for him and made a winning debut for new yard in five-runner novice at Kempton (6f, AW) in December; the latter was at 1-3, admittedly, but she stays 7f and goes on the shortlist. |

Improved from debut to finish runner-up in a 6f Naas maiden and finished a neck in front of Quinta Girl over the same C&D last month; that form is working out and ought to go well if she finds any improvement for an extra furlong. |

500,000gns yearling; first foal; dam 7f Group 3 winner at three for Aidan O'Brien; looked raw when unplaced favourite at the Curragh; was slightly impeded before weakening late; went very close over C&D on her second start and looks almost certain to be in the mix. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 2lb |
One of four for yard; enjoying an excellent campaign; won over 6.5f (good) at Limerick in July and narrowly denied in a 6f Listed heat at Naas later that month; took advantage of generous mark to bolt up in a Galway handicap (7f, yielding) and another fine effort in a Naas Group 3 (6f good) on latest; return to 7f a plus and leading claims. |

Enjoying a fine campaign; won a 6.5f (good) rated race at Limerick on seasonal return; got to within 0.5l of Soul Love when second of 15 in C&D Listed race here last month; regained the winning thread in impressive fashion off favourable mark in a 7f (yielding) Galway handicap; progressive and should be thereabouts again. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Won over this trip at Dundalk and a 6.5f rated race at Limerick; seemingly improved out of all recognition when a very close second in a 6f Listed at Naas last week; up 16lb for future contests and on that basis is not easily opposable here. |

Some promise in a couple of his maiden starts and left a low-key handicap debut behind to win a Down Royal handicap over this trip last month; however, form knocked since and he'll need more from 10lb higher. |

Finding feet in pattern company after winning a handicap off 78 at the Curragh in May; nicked some precious black type when 1.5l behind Suzie Songs in a C&D Listed race 16 days ago (good) but probably needs the rain to miss to be competitive again here. |

Off the mark at 11th attempt in 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May and much the best handicap effort since on latest (reduced mark) when staying on late to finish third (second has won since) of 17 over C&D 16 days ago; contender again off same mark. |

Off the mark at 11th attempt in 1m1f Ballinrobe maiden in May but hasn't made much of an impact in handicaps; decent effort when fourth at Bellewstown over this trip but weakened into ninth in claimer at Killarney 30 days ago; could bounce back now given more of a chance by the handicapper. |

Best run came when beaten 6l in a 6f maiden here last month; didn't get the clearest of runs when favourite on last week's handicap debut; extra furlong will probably help but widest draw won't. |

One of two for yard; not much to recommend in maidens at 6f-1m but yard's runners always merit respect on their handicap debuts and he's preferred by McMonagle; check the market. |
