18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 13lb |
Ordinary form in turf maidens; improved for switch to AW; won on handicap debut over 7f at Dundalk in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth of 23 at the Curragh in March (soft to heavy); fair fifth of 21 over 6f at the same venue last time (soft); should appreciate this longer trip and better ground. |

Ordinary form in turf maidens but improved for switch to AW and won on handicap debut over 7f in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth here last time (7f, soft to heavy); not certain a drop to 6f is what he wants. |

Attracted strong market support on his penultimate run over 7f in February but could only manage third; made amends upped to 1m last time, scoring with a dominant performance; raised 6lb for that win, but he was rated 13lb higher in 2024, so there could be more in him if he continues in good form. |

Dual course winner over 10.5f but stays much further; runner-up in 7f/10.5f claimers for Denis Hogan before good fourth in 7f handicap last week on stable debut; should relish the step up in distance. |

Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and took third (0.5l behind Exceeding) at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time, but took the runner-up spot at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); in the mix. |
