  • Pos 1 25 Jul 2026 Gowran Park (IRE)

    In front early - matched by a rival after 2f - back in front entering the straight - asked for effort and opened a gap approaching 2f out - gap narrowed near the line but kept finding enough to hold on

  • Pos 10 1 Jul 2026 Fairyhouse

    Held up in the pack - urged forward approaching 2f out - stayed under pressure and made slight late progress inside final furlong - finished 10th beaten 6 lengths

  • Pos 12 24 Jun 2026 Naas

    Held a midfield position early - urged on approaching 2f out and again with a furlong left - found nothing more and dropped away inside the final furlong and a half

  • Pos 4 12 Jun 2026 Fairyhouse

    Sat handy behind pace - pressed for effort with 2f left - held 4th and unable to find more late
