Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 2 (3) | 31st Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 14y | 9st 9lb | led, faced challenge over 2f out, headed over 1f out, rallied and pressed winner inside final furlong, just failed | 17/2 |
| 11th 3 (6) | 3rd May 2026 Soft 1m 4f 30y | 9st 9lb | Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; poor run over 1m6f on seasonal debut; stable appears to have two stronger contenders. | 33/1 |
| 9th 2 (2) | 30th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 6f 0y | 9st 11lb | Five-time winner has yet to score in a handicap; won a 1m6f conditions race at Galway for the second year running last August; below best in two runs since but goes well fresh, handles heavy ground and his yard won this last year; can't discount. | 14/1 |
| 8th 6 (9) | 21st Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 4f 0y | 12st 0lb | Five-time winner; has shown good form at Galway, winning twice, including a 1m6f conditions event at this year's festival; soundly beaten at Listowel; fair prospect at these weights but unplaced in six Curragh outings. | 12/1 |
| 8th 1 (7) | 22nd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 3f 15y | 10st 0lb | Five-time winner; won a 1m5f amateur event here in 2023; two wins since then have come at the Galway races, including last time when a 5l winner of a conditions race (1m6f, yielding); his run at the Curragh prior was underwhelming when well beaten off 97; soft ground is a plus but needs to show he can do it away from Ballybrit. | 22/1 |
