15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Won twice at Gowran last month; suited by an ease in the ground, has gone up 10lb and might be vulnerable as a result; cheekpieces added. |

Got off the mark over 1m here earlier this month but was below form off this mark at Cork since; however, stepping up to this trip might help and he isn't ruled out. |

Showed winning potential for the first time when fourth at Dundalk in July; backed that up when second at the same venue and then justified favouritism at Gowran last week; profile implies he can continue on an upward curve. |

Has come down in the world a long way since 7f Listed win for Ger Lyons in 2022; started the season with an encouraging third in 1m2f Fairyhouse contest in June but both runs since not at the same level, not seeming to stay 1m last time; drops back in trip. |
