Never competitive on the AW last time and runs Dundalk well, but won over Tipperary's 1m4f the run before; can cope with this 5lb higher mark, won't mind rain and his jockey has won the last two renewals of this. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |

Off the mark at Killarney off 7lb lower (1m, soft); another fine run at Listowel last month when a close second (1m, heavy); below her best when finishing behind The Blue Panther at Bellewstown latest; can get involved on her best form. |

AW winner; has performed creditably in two of his last five turf starts, notably third of 21 at Cork in July; faced a tough task when 6lb out of the handicap at the Curragh on latest. |

AW winner is 0-15 on the grass; has shaped well in two of his last four turf starts, including when a 3.5l third of 21 at Cork last time (a few of these behind); however, 6lb wrong here so this looks a tough task. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |

Three-time turf winner and often placed but 0-22 on AW and placed only three times; hard to make a strong case on recent AW form; however, he is so much more effective on turf that a good showing is not out of the question. |

9st 7lb |
Rattled up a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events on Tapeta for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) in January; has run with credit in her last three starts for this yard, but still has to conclusively prove she wants this far. |

21st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Rattled up a hat-trick for Daragh Bourke (7f-9.5f) earlier in the year; similar level of form since joining this trainer, runner-up over 8.5f here on penultimate start, and perhaps found 1m4f too far at Catterick (6-4 favourite) a fortnight ago; chance. |

Won three classified events at up to 9.4f in the space of four days in January when trained by Daragh Bourke; better effort in handicaps for new yard when second off 11 at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 19 days ago; good shout on that form buts need to prove that he's as effective on turf (0-9) and that he has the stamina for this much longer trip. |

Heavily raced since winning easily for this rider here last October; won again at Dundalk the following month; unplaced on his next six Dundalk starts before hinting at a return to form in two outings at the Curragh; very closely matched with Miss Americana on running here 13 days ago; definite chance. |

Four-time winner on turf at 6f-1m, including when bolting up over C&D under this rider in October from 7lb lower; showed a return to form last two outings at the Curragh and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters. |
