18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
10st 0lb |
Has recorded six of his eight wins over 5f, including last year's Rockingham Handicap here; proved that he is in good shape with a conditions race victory at Naas a fortnight ago; has run well in Listed events this term; trainer has a strong contender in Headmaster. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Seven-time sprint winner, landed a C&D handicap off 97 in April, making all to beat Indigo Dream by 2.5l; shaped well when third in Listed company over C&D in May (Likedbymike in fourth); beaten favourite 20 days ago when fifth at Cork (Likedbymike second) but wasn't disgraced and likely to bounce back at a track he enjoys. |

Multiple sprint winner who enjoys good ground and finished third (behind Gazelle d'Or) in his first Listed race at Naas last month despite an unfavourable track position; looks sure to go well. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
8st 13lb |
Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke here in the Rockingham, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at his best at Dundalk on first start this year; down the field behind Genesis in the Rockingham last month. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won twice last year over 5f at Cork and also finished second to Keke in this race, a fine effort for a horse of his age; not at best at Dundalk on only start this year; however, potentially interesting now that he is reunited with the champion jockey who rode him to a Cork win off just one pound lower last July. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Useful sprinter won twice last year over 5f at Cork but has been absent since that last success in July; previously won a C&D maiden and is off a 6lb lower AW mark so has to be considered even though he lacks a recent run. |

Best known for AW exploits, also effective on turf; second to Bodhi Bear in a 5f handicap at Navan; visor now replaces blinkers following a below-par Dundalk run last Sunday. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Back on song when just failing to reel in the winner at Navan on latest; four C&D wins to his name, including a Group 3, and is 5lb better off for a 1.75l defeat behind Valiant Force in a rated race here in February; third in this last year and should go well again. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (4) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Five-time AW winner; both turf wins have come over this C&D on yielding and soft ground; pleasing seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh last month, not far behind Bodhi Bear; eased 1lb, yard in fine form and leading claims. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season; ran better than the bare result from 10lb out of the handicap in the Rockingham; finished well in the recent Naas event won by Sovereign Cry; not ruled out. |

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). |

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. |

Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |

Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 at this venue in 2023, Listed contests and this event 12 months ago; was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent this year; good run when second here last time, 3lb wrong |

9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |
