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. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Speedster has an impressive strike rate of 4-6 on the AW; last seen in October running a fine race when a 2l fourth of 14 in Dundalk Group 3 (5f); 0-7 on turf and rated 8lb lower and rider claims 7lb; best turf runs have come on flat tracks so might be best watched on seasonal return over this stiff 5f. |

9st 11lb
|
First reserve; speedy sort represents yard that has won the last two renewals; boasts C&D form figures of 11115 and she may have needed the run for that fifth on latest when behind a couple of these; a bit to find on the figures but could make a bold bid if getting a run. |

Was in receipt of 25lb when beating Valiant Force by 2l here in July and 20lb worse off now; decent turf handicap efforts the last twice but may struggle to uphold that July form on these terms. |

9st 5lb |
Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark. |

Won this race last year after a Bellewstown second and now bids to follow the same pattern after a good run eight days ago; fair chance that he can reverse Dundalk form with Buddy Batt. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up six times before belatedly opening account in this race last year off 79 (4lb out of handicap); some good runs afterwards in defeat, although well below best final start behind Tango Flare in Bold Lad over C&D; lacks a recent run this time around but Hayes stays loyal. |

Runner-up on six occasions before belatedly opening account with 6f Curragh win in May on 16th outing, beating subsequent Rockingham winner Keke; has run well in defeat since, latest when staying on fourth on first attempt over 5f at Cork last month; return to 6f should suit and definite player. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

His five wins have all been over this trip, including a premier handicap over C&D last year; below form over 6f here last time but is capable off this mark and is ground-versatile so looks a player. |

14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Highly progressive last year, winning four 5f handicaps and taking a big hike up the weights; yet to score this term but some encouraging signs, notably from York fourth on latest; reproduction would give him a chance of reversing previous form with Red Evolution and Sarahmae. |
12/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |

He made giant strides as a 3yo, winning four 5f handicaps and soaring up the weights; both this season's efforts have been encouraging and this Irish raider shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

9st 9lb |
Seven wins over 5f and 6f generally on good ground; won off 97 in a 6f handicap here last time (good); his mark of 104 is a career high but he will need to improve again now entering stakes company. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
One of three for yard; six-time winner, the last three of which have come at the Curragh; testing ground a valid excuse for poor run at that venue on seasonal return but remains 4lb above last win and may need more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of three for yard; loves it here, as is evidenced by his three C&D victories; returns to action 6lb above his last win and has tended to improve for his seasonal reappearances in the past so might need this but can't totally discount given his liking for this venue. |

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. |

Beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start at two; workmanlike display to win a 5f maiden at Navan in May; in rear in a Listed race at the Curragh last month; this may be more like his level. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Cost E2.2m as a yearling; beaten favourite in a 6f York novice on sole start a year ago; now has something to build on following a workmanlike display to win a 5f maiden at Navan in May; bare form is questionable but the extra furlong should help. |

Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist. |
