Won for a first time on turf at Navan (5f) but then finished last at Naas; loves it around here but stall 11 looks troublesome. |

9st 13lb |
Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |

Nine AW wins but is a maiden on turf after 18 runs; however, he ran a cracker on soft ground at Bellewstown last time and this drying surface should suit better; a squeak. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

9st 12lb |
Marvelous veteran showed he retained all his ability when winning for the eleventh time in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) a month ago; however, has come up short in the last three renewals of this race and 5f probably sharp enough for him these days. |

1st 3 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Splendid veteran with eight Curragh wins to his name; thoroughly deserved his career highlight when beating a subsequent Classic winner in this race last year; has also produced many good displays in defeat here; showed plenty of zest with Dundalk second in December; eased when beaten on reappearance in the Irish Lincoln. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 5lb |
Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

Hard to win with, as illustrated by 2-41 record; won 5f Dundalk handicap off 73 in December 2024; now down to 52, having been regressive since second in a claimer last summer; needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |

9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected. |

Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 6lb higher in March; well behind Gerrit's Gem at Cork on latest; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival, well-treated if it does. |

8st 7lb |
Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |

Two-time AW winner gained a breakthrough turf win over C&D early this month (good) off 71; close Naas fourth was another step in the right direction, despite getting upset in stalls; 2lb wrong here. |

Two-time AW winner gained a breakthrough turf win at the Curragh (6f, good) on his seasonal return five days ago; 5lb rise for that 0.5l success seems fair and top rider booked; should go well again. |

Both wins gained on AW over this trip; 0-10 on turf, out of his depth in a strong C&D race last autumn (10lb out of the handicap); one of his better turf runs was when third of 21 over 7f at this venue last May. |

Well-backed when landing a third win here (all at 6f) in January; nearly 3l off stablemate The Liffey in 6f claimer two starts back, most recent handicap run was okay; rare foray over 7f here and could be vulnerable. |

Dual AW winner at 5f-6f; finished last of 8 on handicap debut at Dundalk off 88 but was only beaten 4.5l; beat one home on turf debut in a rated race at Cork (5f, good); rated 10lb lower on the grass and this stiffer test could suit; not without a chance. |
