Four-time winner who goes on all ground but has rather lost his way this year and returns from a break with a visor enlisted. |

Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

9th 2 (4) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

9st 4lb |
In fine form; gained second career win at Navan (5f, good) on penultimate off 8lb lower; another solid effort off revised mark here on latest (6f, yielding); go well again if the rain misses. |

3rd 12 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Beat Keke by 3l in a 6f premier handicap here last year and he's back in good form, denying Namiid with the pair clear last time at Navan (5f, good); went up 8lb for that, but he can deal with this mark. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Curragh winner last year (6f, good) is now 3lb lower and he almost got back to winning ways at the Curragh (6f, good) two weeks ago, beaten just 0.75l into second of 10; has gone well here before, but over 6f, so the drop back to 5f is a query and wouldn't want to see much rain. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
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. |

Dual C&D winner is now 1lb above last winning turf mark; prominent racer handles any ground; ran a couple of belters over C&D in the summer off higher marks; held lately but has to be of interest in this grade. |
14/1 |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 9-78 and has gone close on the AW a few times this year, including on penultimate when strong-finishing third over 5f; this is his optimum trip; player from lower turf mark on beach debut; tongue-tied. |
7/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

3rd 8 (8) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Often goes well at this track and won here on soft (goes on anything) in April when only 1lb lower; well beaten on last visit in June but has a fair record when fresh, so hard to rule out. |
12/1 |

14th 5 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

9st 7lb |
Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her return from the AW to finish a close third in Fairyhouse conditions event (6f, good) in June; not at same level later in month in Curragh Listed and good bit to find with Fregada on that run. |
16/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company). |
25/1 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Eight-time winner including three on turf; won off 87 at Navan last August (6f, yielding); well-beaten when last seen at Dundalk in February; has gone well fresh before so worth a market check on return. |

Veteran is an eight-time winner (1-6 on AW), the last of those at Fairyhouse in 2024; ran a good race from a wide draw at that venue on penultimate but not as good at Limerick since; handicapped to go close if running to his ability. |

Hacked up in an early-season 6f Naas event last year on soft-to-heavy, earning a 15lb hike in the ratings; lost form subsequently; was back on a reasonable mark for his reappearance in the same Naas contest this year, and took full advantage; has got away with a 4lb rise this time; form boosted by runner-up Exceeding at Leopardstown on Wednesday. |

Gained a fourth career win over C&D in April (sft-hvy); 9lb higher now after a very respectable run in Listed company here earlier this month; the forecast rain will help her but she'll need a big career best to score off this mark. |

A six-time winner over 5f (two on turf; 7f win on debut) but yet to score over this distance; ran well over 5f (yld) here last month and again over 5f at Dundalk last time out; on a winnable mark but others appeal more at this trip. |
