13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner off 67 in December 2024, now 12lb lower; best run for some time when third to Without Love in January, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; faces a renewal of more recent rivalry with Aingeal Dorcha and Storm Eric. |

3rd 5 (13) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner off 67 in December 2024; best run for some time off much reduced mark last month when third in three-way photo under today's rider, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; one to consider off unchanged mark although draw not ideal. |

10st 0lb |
Dual winner here over 1m last winter; eyecatching third behind Venetian over C&D on latest and is weighted to get much closer to that rival here with a leading apprentice booked; contender. |

3rd 1 (11) |
10th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Dual winner here over 1m last winter; was poor on last Flat start and over hurdles in the summer; needs a return to his best after a break but back to the AW a positive. |

11-wins include five here, including in March claimer; most recent run at the Curragh in August was a solid one and has to be respected given his record here. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
11-wins winner, 6-38 on turf; winner of four of his seven 2025 starts, best on AW, though won at Cork on penultimate start; 0-15 record at this venue is a possible negative, placed four times. |
8/1 |

9th 9 (11) |
13th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
An 11-time winner, 6-37 on turf, including three over C&D; winning favourite in a six-runner contest last month, supplementing three Dundalk wins gained in the opening months of the year; 5lb higher than last time, but still 5lb below AW mark. |

Nothing like her best form in ten races since a 1m2f Ballinrobe win last June; unappealing in a sprint handicap at this stage of her career, although she won a maiden at around 6f at two. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Flat winner has shown a bit of promise in maiden hurdles; worth a market check on handicap debut with talented claimer easing his welter burden. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |
5/2 |

3rd 3 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Six-time Dundalk winner with his last win coming over C&D this time last year off 72; one of three runners for the stable; hard to be confident given his modest turf win record (3-70). |

10st 0lb |
Sole win came here over 7f in October 2024 and twice second here over 1m in opening months of 2025; no worthwhile form yet this year and has never raced beyond the mile; others preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
C&D winner in October 2024 and twice second here in the opening months of 2025; probably need the run here in January and should be close to peak fitness now after a recent Curragh run. |

29th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |
4/1 |

3rd 15 (17) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |

13th 10 (12) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

9st 7lb |
One of two for yard; kept busy last year and four wins included one over C&D (good) in September off 77 and just 1lb higher here; subsequently won off revised mark of 84 at Bellewstown in October; badly out of form so far this year, however, and needs a revival. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
8st 10lb |
Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and soft ground; is 2lb lower than when winning at Bellewstown in October but has struggled badly in both starts this season; others arrive in better form. |
40/1 |

9th 1 (3) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |

Gained fifth win of career off 1lb lower over C&D (soft) in October; out of form on AW in November; trailed in last of 14 on Curragh return a fortnight ago; contender if he's near his best with capable 7lb claimer aboard. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal. |

4th May 2026 Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Landed a gamble in a 1m2f classified event at Chelmsford on his stable debut in February; in and out since and likely a few of these will have his measure. |
