Ended last season on a high with 1m4f Listed win at Naas in a race in which stablemate Starford flopped; maintained progression at Naas on return; beat all bar a restored-to-form Starford in a Group 3 over C&D; has developed into a dependable mare; best suited by easy ground; faces stiffest task yet. |

9st 9lb |
Record of 0-14 for current yard but her form in Listed races this term is encouraging; finished second over C&D in May (0.5l in front of Subsonic); another positive third over 1m4f at Pontefract last time; the fact Browne McMonagle rides her ahead of Star Performer is a big boost to her chances. |

9st 2lb |
Record of 0-13 for current yard but her 2026 Listed form (over shorter) is encouraging, including as regards this step back up to 1m4f; stable had a great week at Royal Ascot; this may be the time to catch her. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 9lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-35 on Flat and second on 10 occasions; his only two stakes race wins from 29 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight on return; well beaten in the Vintage Crop on latest but will be more suited by testing conditions. |

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

9st 11lb |
Joined this yard for E210,000 after showing useful form in France; won a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a Listed race at Cork on final start last year; fourth at the same level at Naas on return; talented apprentice booked; may prove the pick of stable's three runners; leading chance. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 2lb |
Joined this yard for Eu210,000 after showing useful form in nine French races; first Irish run last spring was ordinary; much better when winning a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a similar race to this at Cork on final start, this race appears to have greater depth. |

Joined this yard for 210,000euros after showing useful form in nine French races; did well to get up in the nick of time in a rated race at Galway but she was receiving weight off an older horse who had a mark of 89; this race demands improvement. |

9st 7lb |
Rapid improver last year, winning three times in testing ground; carried that forward to this term when taking the Lincoln handicap over C&D in March; some decent runs in defeat since but this ground might not be soft enough. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; early-season form also included second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; unplaced twice in Listed races this term; handicap form gives him a leading chance; drawn low. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Won a 1m2f (gd-yld) Curragh premier handicap off 15lb lower last September and followed up in a Listed heat at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy); no impact when slowly away in three runs in Listed and Group 2 company this season; may be on tough mark back in a handicap. |

9st 9lb |
Listed winner at Leopardstown (1m2f, heavy) last season; nowhere near that level in two runs this term, slowly away on both occasions; has form on good ground and at this trip so while she has a bit to find on the figures, she's not out of this if rediscovering her best. |

4th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Highly progressive last season, improving to the tune of 35lb between June and October; versatile in respect of both trip and ground, but best at form 1m2f on last two starts; won a 21-runner premier handicap here in October and a Listed race at Leopardstown in November; failed to make an impact on return in Naas event won by Beset. |

Dundalk debut winner for Adrian Murray; showed improvement on second start for this yard when 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk in Curragh Group 2 (1m2f, good) last month; completely outclassed in Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh 19 days ago; this is a lot easier but unproven on soft; blinkers. |

Showed improved effort here last time when beaten 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk (1m2f, good); that was a step in the right direction but it's still hard to see him playing any major role. |
