Out of depth hiked up to listed level at Leopardstown the following month which tempers enthusiasm somewhat on reappearance. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153504.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Took his form up a notch when landing a 9f Leopardstown Group 3 last June. Ran about as well as could be expected when back at Group 1 level for the Irish Derby later that month and hasn&#8217;t been seen since finishing mid-field in York Stakes in July. Considered on return. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153505.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Won twice on turf last season and ended his campaign with an improved effort when third of 13 to Phantom Flight in Diamond Stakes on all-weather debut at Dundalk in September. Another notch of improvement required if he&#8217;s to take this on return (has been gelded). <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153506.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Doubled her tally when landing listed event at Killarney last July and took her form up a level when winning Group 3 Snow Fairy Stakes at this course the following month. Respectable effort but unable to land the odds in Blandford Stakes over C&amp;D in September and has been off since. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153507.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Smart horse who was seen only twice in 2025, his failure to keep straight under pressure not helping matters when fifth of 9 to Los Angeles in Tattersalls Gold Cup here last May. Presumably had his issues, but this English-raider could take some stopping if back on song.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153508.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Smart handicap performance to win over 11f at Listowel last September. Disappointing in a 1\u00bdm listed race here on final start but shaped encouragingly returning from a 5-month absence when fifth of 18 in handicap over C&amp;D (heavy) recently, too keen to see his race out. Others more appealing.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153509.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Wootton Bassett colt who went from winning a Leopardstown maiden on his debut at 28\/1 to becoming a Group 1 winner in little more than a week when landing Criterium International at Saint-Cloud back in October 2024. Clearly been hard to get him to the track since but is open to further progress. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153510.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Useful mare who was very much on the up at the end of 2025, signing off with dominant success in 1\u00bdm listed race here in November. Picked up where she left off when landing listed event at Naas last month, showing a really good attitude when joined, and she can make her presence felt here. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153511.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Useful effort to win a 1\u00bdm Cork listed event for Paddy Twomey last spring but not in the same form back there 10 weeks later and offered little on return for a new trainer in Celestial Orbit in Park Express Stakes earlier this month. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260419cur153512.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Progressive filly who proved strong at the finish when winning a Dundalk conditions race before following up with something in hand in a 1m handicap there in February.
