| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th 8 (6) | 14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y | 9st 7lb | Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. | 33/1 |
| 1st 6 (5) | 1st Sep 2025 Soft 1m 2f 63y | 9st 8lb | Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. | 7/1 |
| 9th 4 (8) | 29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y | 9st 6lb | Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. | 22/1 |
| 3rd 6 (5) | 15th Jun 2025 Soft 1m 1f 100y | 9st 6lb | Wide-margin maiden winner here last October and career-best on returning here early this month in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by blinkers) in very valuable conditions event over this trip, staying on late to deprive Dignam of third; could have more to offer at this distance. | 9/4 |
| 3rd 1 (5) | 2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 120y | 9st 8lb | Wide-margin maiden winner over a furlong shorter on heavy ground at this track on his fifth and final start last season; disappointing on return in the 7f Madrid Handicap (4-1 favourite) at Naas; more like it when fourth over 1m at the same venue last time; trip should suit; cheekpieces fitted; others better suited by the race conditions. | 14/1 |
