5th Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 30y |
9st 13lb |
Won a heavy-ground nursery at Galway last year, so coming into his time of year; close third at the Galway festival over 1m and nothing went right for him there last time; one for the shortlist and more rain would be a plus. |

7th 2 (13) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
9st 13lb |
Got off the mark in a heavy-ground 7f nursery at this track last year; best run since was a close third over C&D last time; up 1lb but the forecast softer ground is in his favour and can be a player despite a wide draw. |
9/1 |

Highlight of juvenile form was a 7f course nursery win on heavy, achieved at the main expense of today's rival Aquilla Star; hard to be confident after a below-par Leopardstown run in June; would benefit from rain. |

1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 195y |
9st 0lb |
Second in 7f Galway nursery on heavy last October and gained a first career win at Ballybrit (8.5f, soft) when last seen, overcoming traffic problems to win going away; 9lb rise but this race could be set up perfectly for her and she will love the ground. |

Maiden was second in a 7f nursery on heavy here last year; best run this term when second in a Ballinrobe handicap over 1m1.5f in July; had excuses for two lesser runs over C&D at the festival here since; cheekpieces removed; decent draw; considered. |

Runner-up in a heavy ground nursery here last October and again when only caught late by Nephin Mountain over 1m2f at Ballinrobe recently, having handled home turn much better than that rival; well below that form in first-time cheekpieces over C&D on Friday however, having not had a clear run. |

9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish 3yo who made a winning stable debut at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in July; only fourth off this mark at Bath (1m, good to soft) last month but he still has low mileage and could progress further. |
7/1 |

4th 8 (5) |
13th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Nursery winner for Joseph O'Brien; the blinkers he wore that day are back on despite him winning narrowly in no headgear on stable debut at Chepstow; that was his first race since being gelded; may have more to give. |
100/30 |
|
1st 8 (6) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Landed a nursery for Joseph O'Brien last October in first-time blinkers (absent here); gelded since and makes British/stable debut for yard that knows the time of day; raced on no firmer than good but may be way ahead of the handicapper; market will reveal more. |

1st 7 (15) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |

Attracted strong market support on seasonal return at Gowran in May (1m, gd-yld) and found just one too good; absence since a slight concern but should stay this longer trip and obvious claims off the same mark. |
2/1 |

2nd 5 (2) |
5th May 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Ran okay in 7f nursery here and well backed 4-1 fav at Galway next start, would have been a few places closer but for meeting trouble in running; cheekpieces tried there are left off for this return; hasn't fully shown his hand yet, and has been found a winnable contest if he's ready; draw has been kind too. |

3yo filly gained breakthrough win here a month ago over 7f when a 33-1 shot; just 3lb higher now and while she's drawn wide, she'll have the assistance of the champion jockey in the plate; however, stamina a query at this longer trip. |

Signs of improvement when fifth at Down Royal (1m3f, good) and duly won four days ago at Bellewstown (1m, soft to heavy) when in first-time cheekpieces under Reese Holohan; penalised accordingly, but he was good value for that narrow margin as he was clear at one point; not drawn well but clearly a contender. |

1st Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 195y |

18-1, ran well on yard debut at Down Royal on Monday, prominent (hung left) until fading into fifth over 1m3f; headgear goes on; a good run after a year off, and then a return to action within three days, so he'll either come on for it or 'bounce'. |

Handicap debutante; was well behind a couple of these rivals in the last of her maidens at Naas but she was badly snatched up on the rail when making headway just over 1f out so she could have finished a fair bit closer; could outrun her odds. |
