9st 8lb |
Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |

Eight-time winner on the AW but just 1-31 on turf; beaten 3l when third of 6 in this last season and just 1lb lower now; finished a couple of places ahead of Tolebi when a 4.5l seventh of 17 at the Curragh on latest; place shout. |

Sole victory came in this race last year (soft) on his seasonal return and he is 2lb lower now; was well backed on that occasion so he's well worth monitoring in the market. |

9st 8lb |
Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 211y |

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 (7f, good); signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel next time; failed to see out 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown on latest but definite player at his best. |

Dual AW winner who got off the mark on turf in a 6f handicap here in May; badly hampered in the race won by Headmaster later that month; 3lb wrong when taking the 5f Rockingham Handicap here last time; stiff task off his new rating, |

Dual AW winner who got off the mark on turf in a 6f Curragh handicap last month (good; 3lb lower); did well to be a close fourth next time after getting upset in the stalls and was reportedly tight for room in his last race; respected off what's still a competitive mark. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted. |

Four-time AW winner is 1-19 on turf; is 2lb below that last turf win which came at Naas (5f, good) in May 2024; handles an ease but this trip may just stretch his stamina. |

Promising 2yo for Owen Burrows (RPR 83); 0-20 in Ireland for Denis Hogan, with 2026 offering no sign of a revival in his fortunes; starts out for a new yard off a lowly mark so worth a precautionary market check. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f. |

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago. |

73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens, placed twice; made immediate over hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in August; failed to confirm the form of that race with Cinnamon Coco at Down Royal; much more like it when winning at Listowel; clashes for a third time with Joseph O'Brien's runner who may have his measure. |
