2026 Flat Profile - Charles Darwin

3 y bc No Nay Never – Muirin  (Neil)

Smart 2 year old who’s season ended early after an injury, he made his debut at the Curragh in April last year, finishing 4th in a 5f EBF Farms race, beaten ½ l by Aegina (received 2 lb), then at Navan 2 weeks later, won a 6f maiden by 5 ½ l from Harmani, and followed up in May at Naas winning a 5f stakes race by 3 ¼ l from Cardiff By The Sea ( received 8lb). He was last seen in June at Royal Ascot winning the 5f group 2 Norfolk Stakes by 2 ¼ l from Wise Approach. 

Aidan O’Brien told The Punter: "He could be a very good sprinter. He’ll run in the trials for the Commonwealth Cup and all being well will get to the race itself at Royal Ascot in good shape. He’s a real block of a horse, very powerful."

He holds an Irish 2000 Guineas entry
