17th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
All wins have been at 6f on AW or a sound turf surface but encouraging attempt at today's trip in premier Leopardstown handicap last month, not quite getting home after racing keenly when under 4l off stablemate Rahmi; could go close here if settling better. |

Three-time C&D winner was recording second turf win when scoring in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh in late June; ran no sort of race there last month in Scurry Handicap however; still respected. |

Went close at Fairyhouse over 7f (good) and went one better to notch fifth win 23 days ago when beating El Fontenaro by 0.75l over 6.5f at Limerick; the pair pulled well clear and the runner-up won next time out, so has obvious claims off 9lb higher. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at the Curragh and all four runs this term have been at same track, notably fine fourth of 22 in premier handicap in May; 2lb wrong and raced on unfavoured far side in Scurry Handicap latest; rider's 7lb claim a positive so don't rule out. |

12th 18 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
8st 7lb |
Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; this season's form linked to Genesis and Headmaster puts her in the mix, although several others would seem to have marginally stronger claims. |
12/1 |

5th 12 (7) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; good fourth over 6f here on latest; had an excuse on her previous start, she was reported coming in season; cheekpieces for the first time, may find a few of these rivals too quick. |

Both wins were earlier this year over 6f and made it 0-6 at 5f when only midfield at the Curragh two weeks ago when they claimed 7lb off her back; needs more. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Won over 6f on AW and at this track earlier in the year before second to Gazelle D'Or in a C&D premier handicap; mostly good runs since but needs more in this company off an unchanged mark. |

4th 1 (7) |
26th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 3y |
10st 0lb |
3yo filly has been kept busy this season; won at Dundalk in April and at the Curragh in June off 71; hasn't troubled the judge of late, favourite at latter venue on latest when showing good speed for long way; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces (not latest) and drops in grade so respected. |

Last four starts at the Curragh; maiden over a bit further than this and ran creditably on handicap debut since; dropped 1lb but still needs a bit more. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Improving with each run this season, hitting the frame in two maidens here before getting her head in front over the extended 6f here latest; form knocked since and she's not obviously well treated. |

|
13 (17) |
4th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 63y |

Twice placed in maidens last season before an ambitious bid in a Listed race at Newmarket; has confirmed a fair standard of form in two 6f outings at this venue this season; third behind No Return (handicap winner since) and second to the well-fancied Bonus Time 12 days ago; should go close. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Three-time winner over 5f-7f on turf in Ireland but has beaten a total of one rival in two runs at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) for this yard; first-time hood and the return of a tongue-tie needs to make a big difference. |
25/1 |

Won twice in 2023; failed to score last season; beat 22 rivals at the Curragh in June; not beaten far in her last two races; one of three runners for her trainer, a senior rider aboard in each case; ground-versatile. |

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. |

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount. |
16/1 |

5th 5 (4) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Nine-time winner, five on turf; latest win came here over 6f in May 2025 off 8lb higher; good runs in defeat over C&D this term, the best when runner-up off 1lb higher in June; fourth here last time when 3.25l behind Dandy Land; don't rule him out. |

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. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Best form in 2022, winning three times in a July-to-September spell, and rising to a career-high mark of 94; frustrating in recent seasons; joined Peter Fahey late last year after a claiming-race third on AW; stumbled out of the stalls over 7f at Leopardstown earlier this month, left with too much to do; capable of better. |

Three wins here; struck for the first time since 2024 when winning at Navan in June; may have benefitted from track position (only runner-up and himself raced far side), but in fairness, second won lately; missed an engagement here earlier this month and profile suggests layoff not ideal; 3lb wrong, but top 'bug' rides. |

9st 9lb |
Second win (23 races) was a Leicester classified last month; there are plenty of poor runs in his record but he followed that win with a creditable second of seven in handicap at Brighton (again coming from the rear over 6f on good to firm) ten days ago; considered. |
6/1 |

A long way behind Bated Breeze over C&D a month ago but stronger in the market a week later, when winning a Leicester 0-50; always tended to be hit and miss and be interesting to see how he goes in the betting this time. |
