Multiple winner on the Dundalk AW; outran odds of 80-1 when a 2.5l fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but he did benefit from a good position from stall 1 and he's out in 12 this time; others preferred. |

7-28 on the Dundalk AW, with his latest win this January and that's his clear highlight this winter; the last year suggests that others will be a bit better handicapped. |

Won off 6lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh last March (1m, soft); no joy since and beaten around 9l in both starts at that venue this season; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces; not discounted. |

Strike-rate of 3-51; improved upon poor recent efforts when encountering good ground at Killarney (1m), finishing a close third after not getting a clear run; up 2lb but remains on a nice mark if backing up his last run. |

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. |
11/2 |

1st 4 (13) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

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. |

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. |

21st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 3y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

73-rated on the Flat after five runs in maidens; made immediate impact upon switch to hurdling when taking a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month; disappointing at Down Royal last month when well beaten by rival he had defeated in his maiden victory, albeit he needed to carry a penalty (as he does here); needs to bounce back. |
