Twice placed over 10.5f here in November; off the mark over 1m1f at Ballinrobe and fair runs since; hasn't gone this far before but is by a St Leger winner. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 7lb |
Got off the mark at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd) last month, showing good attitude to beat Majestic King by 0.75l; beaten 2.75l into sixth under penalty 31 days ago at Killarney from bad draw under more patient tactics; danger but soft ground an unknown. |

10st 4lb |
Off the mark at Ballinrobe four days ago when he dug deep for a narrow success at the expense of the odds-on Majestic King who beat Can I Kiss You the run before; doesn't look obviously well in under a penalty and stall 14 isn't ideal, but must have a chance. |

Got off the mark in a Gowran handicap over this trip in May and was a close second at Ballinrobe next time; doubts raised by his two most recent outings; beaten favourite for the Curragh race in which No More Porter was second |

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
9st 7lb |
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas (1m, yielding) over two years ago; promising seasonal comeback second at Navan in March (1m2f) but 1m4f looked beyond her at Limerick last month; back to probably her optimum trip. |
12/1 |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |
9st 7lb |
No win since scoring off 2lb higher at Naas in April 2024 (1m, yielding); back on song with a 2.5l second at Navan (1m2f, heavy) on seasonal return (Church Mountain 3l behind); worth another go at this trip on that evidence; chance. |

Caused a 33-1 shock with 1m Naas handicap win on the first of two starts in 2024; failed to match that form in four starts last year; now 3lb below her winning mark; ability to run well when fresh is an asset. |
