4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Was recording a second career win when taking 1m2f Clonmel contest last month in first-time blinkers, coming from off the pace to win going away; up 7lb for that and unconvincing over this longer trip in the past; encouraging jockey booking. |
11/2 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 168y |

Last year's Leopardstown win came off 3lb lower mark; good recent runs at Leopardstown and Naas this season; blinkered for the first time after an unplaced run behind Lough Leane at Down Royal. |

9st 12lb |
A breakthrough win has looked imminent for a while; placed in four consecutive starts since the beginning of July, between 1m3f and 1m6f; beaten favourite last two starts; shorter trip not certain to bring out the best in her; addition of blinkers may help. |
4/1 |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |

Knocking on the door; placed on last three starts at 1m3f-1m4f and shaped like this longer trip was well worth a go the last twice; stayed on for a 2.5l third at Naas four days ago and thereabouts again once this doesn't come too soon. |

First reserve; scored off basement mark at Leopardstown in June; not far away off revised mark in three runs since and just didn't quite get home upped to 1m4f at Roscommon last time; place shout back in trip. |

Scored at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) in June off basement mark; hiked up 10lb and beaten just 1l back at Leopardstown before staying on well at Gowran on latest (9.5f, good); worth another go at this trip on that evidence; chance. |

Improved effort on latest at Naas (1m3f, good) on second start back from long layoff; prominent racer has slipped to a dangerous mark, drops in grade and this shorter trip is fine; should go well. |

Is on a dangerous mark and it wasn't a bad effort on return from 419 days off at Bellewstown last month; should strip fitter now and has won twice at just short of this trip at Dundalk; not discounted. |

Hasn't won since 2023 but the handicapper is relenting and he was only beaten 1l when fifth over 1m7f at Leopardstown last time; not beaten far over C&D in June off 4lb higher under this rider; in the mix. |

Winner in Britain over 1m; has been tried over vastly different trips since then, over 1m3f and 1m4f here; drops back in trip on his first run for a trainer forging a good reputation, but best watched from a bad draw. |

8th 11 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |

Ordinary form in Britain, just sole 1m AW win to his name; seasonal/stable debut fourth over 1m4f at the Curragh, in this grade, was very good (travelled well and stuck on well) and quite likely he 'bounced' eight days later at Carlisle; has tried different headgear and visor now goes; trainer seems adept at improving recruits. |
