Form profile

Rated 114, he was formerly trained by Aidan O’Brien for whom he finished second in the Irish Derby and the Grand Prix de Paris prior to moving to Australia and running well without winning in Group company. He joined Joseph late last year and has been gelded since.

Trainer says

He has settled in nicely to the system here since he arrived. We think trips of around 10f will suit him well back over here. A race like the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot could work well for him. We’ll wait until the ground dries out before we start him back and we’re looking forward to him.

Form profile

Rated 117, he is a three-time Group 1 winner that won the Irish St Leger at the Curragh last year.

Trainer says

The plan at the minute is for him to fly to Dubai in the coming days with the intention of running in the Dubai Gold Cup. He’s a three-time Group 1 winner and he’s still unexposed over staying trips, so we’re looking forward to the season ahead for him. He showed in the Hong Kong Vase last time that he’s still capable of running to 120 over a mile-and-a-half too, so we have the pleasure of having lots of options for him.

Form profile

Rated 114, he was formerly trained by Andre Fabre for whom he won a trio of Group 3 contests and finished in the frame in multiple Group 1 contests.

Trainer says

He’s a really exciting horse to have been sent by Baron Edouard De Rothschild. We’ve been very happy with how he has settled into the routine here. Our focus is on getting him to relax and our regime seems to suit him that way. His form is very strong, and the hope is that we can work our way back to Group 1 level with him. He’s definitely a horse that could be campaigned internationally. More imminently, we might start him off in the Heritage Stakes at Leopardstown on April 15th.

Form profile

Rated 106, she improved 31lb after joining O’Brien last season culminating in a wide-margin victory in the Finale Stakes at the Curragh in November.

Trainer says

She was a real revelation last year and showed huge improvement at the backend of the season to win the Finale Stakes by a long way. The lads were keen to keep going with her and see can she improve again. Her Finale Stakes form is good enough to get her competitive in Group company and if she can find another few pounds improvement, you never know where she could end up. She is a potential runner in the Devoy Stakes at Naas this weekend. If she doesn’t go there, it’ll probably be the Noblesse Stakes at Cork a fortnight later. She acts on good ground, but she seems particularly effective on soft ground.

Form profile

Rated 111, he won the Marble City Stakes at Gowran Park in July and finished a close second in the Prix Chaudenay at ParisLongchamp in October.

Trainer says

He’s going to be campaigned in staying races. He progressed nicely through last season and we gelded him over the winter. We felt this would be to his benefit and it seems to have been the case. We have him entered in the Devoy Stakes at Naas and that is a possibility. The Vintage Crop at Navan is his alternative option.

Form profile

Rated 114, he won the Alleged Stakes at the Curragh last April and went on to run well in a successful of valuable contests, most notably when second in the Bahrain International and fourth in the Hong Kong Cup.

Trainer says

He had a long enough winter of travelling, so we have given him a good break since he came back from Saudi. He ran a huge race under a penalty in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last year, so we’ll try to get him back to that race in top order without a penalty this year. After that, he’ll be back on his travels all being well.

Form profile

Rated 109, she reverted back to the Flat with great success last year following a period of over fences, winning three stakes races including the Stanerra Stakes at Fairyhouse and finishing a brilliant second in the Melbourne Cup.

Trainer says

She had a little hold up just before the Red Sea Handicap at Riyadh and was a late non-runner as a result. We’ve given her a good break since she got back, so she’ll miss the first part of the season. We’ll work her back towards Group races over staying trips and sure if all was going well at the time, we’d love to get her back down to Flemington for another crack at the Melbourne Cup.

Form profile

Rated 105, he won the Irish St Leger Trial at the Curragh last year.

Trainer says

He seems to like the Curragh, so we’ll look to get him there in suitable races as much as we can. He could be one to start off in the Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan as that is the natural starting point for a horse with his profile. We might also have a look at the Ormonde Stakes at Chester for him too.

Form profile

Formerly trained in Germany where she won a Group 3 and was Group 1-placed, she changed hands for €875,000 at the Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale.

Trainer says

She’s a really nice filly to have on the team. We’ve been liking what we’ve seen from her so far and she’s a lovely straightforward filly. We aren’t rushing her and are focusing on the middle-to-second-half of the season with her. The Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh is an obvious mid-season target that we have in mind. She could also be one to travel later in the year too. Winning a Group 1 with her is the goal.

Form profile

Rated 104, he won a valuable handicap at Glorious Goodwood last year.

Trainer says

He found good progression last year and we think there’s more to come from him. He was gelded over the winter and that will be a help to him. He ran well at Royal Ascot last year and getting him back there, maybe for the Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap, will be a goal.

Form profile

Rated 106, she found notable improvement at the backend of last season to win the Ahonoora Handicap at the Galway Festival and the Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary.

Trainer says

She spent a long time running well without quite clicking for us until taking off in no uncertain terms from the Galway Festival onwards last season. It was great to get her back for this season and if she can improve another couple of pounds she’ll be in an exciting zone. She will start off in either the Park Express Stakes or the Gladness Stakes. We’d love to get her some Group 2 black type at the very least.

Form profile

Rated 104, he made an impressive winning debut in a maiden at the Curragh in October 2024 and finished a promising third to Jonquil in the Greenham Stakes at Newbury on his return in April 2025, but he didn’t run again after disappointing in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Trainer says

He’s talented, but he isn’t easy to train and picked up an injury in the Jersey Stakes last year. He’s been gelded since then and I’d expect him to need his comeback run when he gets back to the track, but we’ll be doing everything we can to try to get him to fulfil all that early promise he showed us.”

Form profile

Rated 112, he has improved since joining O’Brien last season, winning the Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown and the highly-valuable Red Sea Handicap at Riyadh.

Trainer says

We were really thrilled with his win in the Red Sea Handicap. We felt there was a big day in him and for it to happen when the stakes were that big was a great touch. The intention is to send him to Dubai for the Dubai Gold Cup now and hopefully that works out. We’ll more than likely keep him on his travels through the summer, as there as some very interesting options for him that we’d like to explore.

Form profile

Rated 112, he finished third in the Derby and went on to win the Prix Chaudenay at ParisLongchamp in October last year.

Trainer says

He ran a bit below form in the Red Sea Handicap at Riyadh, but we are happy to forgive him that run and expect him to be back on track sooner rather than later. We might well pick our punches with him in staying company through the summer and look to work him towards the Melbourne Cup, as we really do think that he’s the right type for it.

Form profile

Rated 110, he won the Orby Stakes and the International Stakes at the Curragh last year.

Trainer says

He’s a smashing horse that has a particularly good record at the Curragh, so we’ll look to land him there in suitable races as much as we can. He has a very good record at a mile-and-a-half too. He isn’t getting younger, but he’s training with a lot of enthusiasm, and I’d be hopeful he can win in stakes company this year

Form profile

Rated 105, he has been lightly raced since winning the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2024.

Trainer says

He’s a talented horse, but he isn’t easy to keep right. We’d love to get him back to the Queen Alexandra at Royal Ascot again, that’s the big aim. He might well start off at the Curragh on Good Friday.

Form profile

Rated 110, she won the Salsabil Stakes at Navan in April and finished second in the Irish Oaks last season.

Trainer says

She’s in really good order and we’re delighted with how she has matured over the winter. She always had to frame to improve with age in physical terms and she looks great at the minute. We might well start her off in the Mooresbridge Stakes at the Curragh and the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh is an obvious mid-season target. She’s back in training to win a Group 1 and that is our focus with her.

Form profile

Rated 103, he won the Star Appeal Stakes at Dundalk in October and finishing a good second in the Al Rayyan Mile at Doha in Qatar in February.

Trainer says

He was a little bit unlucky not to win in Qatar last time as it got a bit messy and he nearly got up close home. We’d be happy to explore a mile-and-a-quarter with him at some point, and we’d ideally want good or better ground for him. There should be more to come from him.

Form profile

Rated 102, she won the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly prior to finishing third in the Pheonix Stakes at the Curragh.

Trainer says

She did really well to win a Group 2 and get Group 1-placed last year, but those achievements will make it tricky for her in the first half of the season as she’ll have to carry penalties. We won’t rush her and will see where she lands.

Form profile

Rated 107, he won a maiden at Leopardstown prior to finishing second in the KPMG Champions Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown and fourth in the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

We have him entered in a winner’s race at Naas this weekend and I’d say he’ll start off there. We’ll be guided by his run as to whether to go for a Guineas trial or maybe a Derby trial after that. He likes soft ground, so we’ll make hay with him before the sun shines.

Form profile

Made it second-time lucky when winning a maiden at the Curragh by six lengths in November.

Trainer says

We’re very happy with how he has matured over the winter. He was always a big, rangy colt that was going to be a better three-year-old and you’d be delighted with him stood up in front of you now. He has been training well, and the intention is to start him off in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown in a few weeks. It’ll be a step up in class for him, but you don’t see many Curragh maidens won by further than he won his, so he’s earned his shot. He’s a horse with plenty of talent.

Form profile

Rated 98, he made it third-time lucky when winning a maiden at Listowel in September.

Trainer says

He’s likely to start off in a Derby trial, possibly in the UK. He looks like a strong stayer in making and there is potentially plenty of improvement in him. He’s one we’re looking forward to.

Form profile

Rated 109, he won the Tyros Stakes at Leopardstown in July prior to finishing third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar.

Trainer says

He has a few options for his starting point and the Poule D’Essai des Poulains at ParisLongchamp is an appealing option for sure. He’s one that we would like to travel with later in the season. He’s one we’re looking forward to.

Form profile

Made an impressive winning debut in a maiden at Tipperary prior to finishing a close fifth in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud.

Trainer says

He’s a really lovely colt. We loved his two runs last season, and he seemed to do it without the penny having fully dropped, which makes us excited for what he might be able to do this year as he gains in experience. We might well send him to Chester for a Derby trial, and he could run in another Derby trial at Leopardstown before that. He’ll improve with racing and we think he’ll stay well. He’s exciting.

Form profile

Made a highly-promising second when a never-nearer head second in the Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh prior to running below expectations in the Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket

Trainer says

He looked an exciting colt from an early stage after he arrived to us from America last season and he showed all that promise when second on his debut in a Group 3. We are thinking we might let him blow away any freshness by running him in a six-furlong maiden at Dundalk on April 1st. That could set him up nicely for something like the Pavillion Stakes at Ascot a month later. A race like that will help us decide whether he is one for the Commonwealth Cup or the Jersey Stakes. He has always shown a lot of speed in his work and our goal all along has been to harness that until we want it. We are really looking forward to seeing what he can do this year.

Form profile

Made a highly-promising winning debut in the Blenheim Stakes at Fairyhouse and finished fourth in the Killavullan Stakes at Leopardstown in her only other start.

Trainer says

She’s in great order. We are thinking that we’ll start her off in the Chelmer Stakes at Chelmsford, as we think that race will suit her. Longer term, we have Kentucky Downs in mind for her as she is KTDF-qualified, so is eligible for some huge pots out there. She is one fast lady.
