7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Second over hurdles at Auteuil in March 2024; ran only twice last season; shaped well at Leopardstown last December on reappearance; appeared not to stay the near-2m3f trip at Naas in January; got his career back on track when winning a 23-runner maiden hurdle at Navan in March. |

Second at Auteuil in March 2024; ran only twice last season; shaped well at Leopardstown in December on reappearance; appeared not to stay the near-2m3f trip at Naas in January, although finished 18l in front of Newbrook Diamond who ran out of steam more tellingly. |

25th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 150y |

Second to a smart type at Auteuil in March 2024; seems to have had issues, since he has run only three times since his arrival in Ireland; shaped well at Leopardstown last month on first run since last March, left to take third in the maiden in which the exciting El Cairo exited with the race at his mercy; strong contender. |

29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 58y |
11st 6lb |
Lightly-raced maiden has twice finished runner-up in 2m bumpers here and most recently again found one too good on returning to hurdles in 23-runner 2m Navan maiden last month, clear second behind an all-the-way winner (soft); brother won over 2m4f, so longer trip here could bring improvement. |

66-1 when fifth in a 23-runner maiden hurdle won by Kopek Des Bordes at the Christmas 2024 Leopardstown meeting; placed in two bumper runs at Punchestown a year apart; was entitled to need last month's race when second in a four-runner contest, splitting the Elliott and Mullins runners. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
11st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-5 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; placed in three of his four starts over hurdles in Ireland, including a Naas event in which the top-class Saratoga was second; hung badly right when failing to justify support in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Ascot. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 157y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won three of his six races (at up to 1m4f) for Roger Varian and was useful; 0-4 over hurdles but bar one blip it's been a promising start; he was facing testing ground for the first time in his life when third at Naas in the race that yet again provided the winner of the Fred Winter and conditions were again slow when third in a big-field maiden last week at Navan; suspicion there's more in the locker that could be unleashed now handicapping, especially back on a drier surface; big player. |

3rd 23 |

3-6 for Roger Varian (rated 93) suited by good ground; joined this stable for 120,000gns; promising third on hurdling debut at Leopardstown; has failed to improve in two winners' events, including a Naas contest in which the subsequent Fred Winter Saratoga was second; the ground remains on the soft side for him. |
