Dundalk Fri, 18th Sep, 2026  Force Noir He’s a nice horse,. He did well on his first run at the Curragh, he was a bit unlucky that day, and then he won impressively at Naas. We ran him at Ascot and I think he maybe wasn’t ready for that day. He’s improved again and I think he could be a really good sprinter. I like these Persian Forces because the more you ask them the more they find. He missed the kick but they went a little bit too fast in front so he was able to catch them at the end. I’m delighted with the attitude he showed today. He could come back here for the Listed race over five furlongs (Legacy Stakes on October 2nd). We’ll see how he goes there and we’ll learn from that.

Naas Thu, 17th Sep, 2026  Salt Lake The form of the maiden he ran in at the Curragh has worked out very well,. The horse that finished third won very well at Punchestown and the winner was second in the Group 1. This horse improved after that run. He galloped well and Donagh said he had plenty left in him. I'd say we can go seven (furlongs) or stay six. We might give him another run or two this season. We'll see what Kia (Joorabchian) wants to do. He's a nice horse for the future.
