| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st 11 | 2nd May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y | 11st 0lb | Flat winner for Aidan O'Brien; hinted there was a bigger performance in him when placed in first three maiden hurdles, one over this C&D (yielding) and twice at Naas on softer ground; duly delivered the goods on handicap debut, winning the Fred Winter at Cheltenham (2m, gd-sft) by 2.25l off 130; steps into Grade 1 company for the first time and very much respected. | 9/2 |
| 1st 9 | 10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 | 11st 6lb | Six Flat runs for Aidan O'Brien, best form at 1m6f/2m; jumping was ropey in his first two defeats over hurdles but that part of his game improved when a rallying second in a rated hurdle at Naas (soft to heavy) that has delivered four of the last seven winners of this race; probably peaking at the right time when this has all the hallmarks of a long-term plan; seems versatile ground-wise; lots to like. | 10/1 |
| 2nd 6 | 7th Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 7f 158y | 11st 0lb | Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy (rated 92); promising hurdles debut when never-nearer third (3.25l behind Minella Boss) at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and probably similar level of form in C&D maiden last month, still novicey in jumping; gives the impression improvement likely given better jumping. | 7/1 |
| 3rd 10 | 25th Jan 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 190y | 11st 7lb | Flat winner for Ballydoyle over 1m6f on heavy at last year's Listowel festival; fifth of 20 in a 2m premier handicap at this venue in October; satisfactory introduction to hurdling when third at Punchestown; should go close with normal progress. | 4/1 |
| 3rd 9 | 31st Dec 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 105y | 11st 0lb | Ex-Ballydoyle; placed in three maidens before handicap win over 1m6f on heavy at Listowel; fifth of 20 in a 2m premier handicap at Naas; completely out of his depth in 2m Group 1 at Ascot; half-brother to high-class Capri and Tower Of London, and more relevant in this context, to Brazil, who beat Gaelic Warrior in the 2022 Fred Winter for this owner/trainer combination. | 7/2 |
