9st 1lb |
Won a Curragh maiden on debut last year but ran poorly in a Group 3 here next time; however, he resumed his progressive profile this term, winning premier handicaps over 1m1f here and 1m4f at Galway; has to find a fair bit more raised in class but that is possible coming from this source so not ruled out. |

3yo has won two of his four starts; scored in a Curragh maiden on debut (7f, good); came from the back to score by 1.25l in a valuable Leopardstown handicap on latest (1m1f, good) and the runner up was a big eyecatcher at Goodwood on Tuesday; should stay 1m4f on breeding but 3yos haven't got a great record in this race and he's 9lb higher now. |

3yo; Curragh maiden winner (7f, good) last term ran a fine race behind Tim Toe on his seasonal return at Listowel (1m, good) and that rival ran a cracker off 91 in the Ascot Stakes on his next start; this longer trip should suit and he's interesting on handicap debut. |

Sole win in nine Flat starts came in 1m4f (good) maiden at Tramore a year ago; gambled on, narrow 0.75l second on stable debut in Chester Plate in May off 86; ran to similar level at Galway last time; could be a nice hurdling prospect. |

Good first effort for this yard when narrowly denied in the Chester Plate (18.5f, good); led and weakened into ninth of 24 off this mark in a Curragh handicap on latest (1m6f, good); drops in trip now and cheekpieces go on; favourable draw. |

Well-backed to make it a successful stable debut at Chester (2m3f, good) when the line came too soon; previously won a Tramore maiden (1m4f, good to yielding) for Jessica Harrington; up 3lb for his Chester exertions but the choice of McMonagle and could improve over that seasonal return. |

2-13 on the Flat, both wins coming at Down Royal over 10.5f (good) and 1m5f (yielding) last season; consistent this season, never worse than fifth in five outings; looked unlucky in running when fifth of 18 at Galway, capable of getting in the mix. |

With Irish stable since last summer and best Flat effort for them came on latest start when winning a 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.5f, AW); 2026 turf form is not far behind it but he needs a bit extra to win this. |

Running okay without really threatening to win this season; not terrible efforts the last twice at the Curragh (1m2f, gd-fm) and on latest at Galway (1m4f, yld-sft) but probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper to get his head back in front. |
