Not the most consistent, but landed a second win of the season at the Galway festival (7f, yielding); only 1lb higher now on his first crack at 6f; player if he handles the surface. |

Two of three wins have been at the Curragh in testing conditions, including in March off 75; decent run at Bellewstown 5f last month, recent Naas run not to be taken literally as he raced on the wrong side. |

Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; not as effective on turf and was completely tailed off in 1m Curragh handicap (good) on Sunday; eased in grade but others preferred. |

Stepped up markedly on maiden runs when scoring on handicap debut at Dundalk in January over 7f; needs to step up on the form of her Leopardstown run last month; stable's Summer Island is probably more progressive, |

AW winner has yet to score on turf but plenty of good runs in defeat, notably at Leopardstown and Limerick over the summer; recent Gowran effort wasn't a bad one, showing plenty of speed (7f); drop in trip could suit. |

AW maiden winner in February and second in a claimer back at Dundalk in May; however, he's been finding it a struggle in handicaps. |

Won a modest 7f maiden at Dundalk in February but soundly beaten in handicaps after that, including when last of all in two turf runs at Leopardstown over 1m; better effort in an AW claimer when last seen; others more likely; 12th in the 5.45 at Leopardstown yesterday. |

Raced mostly over 7f in Britain for David O'Meara, winning Thirsk maiden and going close in a couple of low-grade handicaps; bought for 9,000gns at Tattersalls last month and probably best watched over a trip which may stretch her. |

Won a maiden over C&D last summer; back to form with a front-running second of seven in a fillies' handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm; tongue tied first time) nine days ago; on a dangerous mark and one of two solid contenders for David O'Meara. |

Second runner for yard with brilliant 7-19 record at Laytown in last five years; four-time AW winner is 1-15 on turf; pleasing effort when 2l fifth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) in May; had stalls issues last two starts. |

Second reserve; generally reliable sort knows how to win and has been in decent form this term, placing in five of his seven starts; more than capable off this mark but may need softer ground to get his head back in front. |

3rd 13 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 45y |

Has been running well in defeat this term, including a second of 23 over this trip at the Curragh in March; wasn't beaten far when seventh of 21 at Navan 11 days ago (5f); acts on good but best on soft/heavy. |
