Ex-Irish; not a regular winner, but ran a sound race when 2.5l fourth over C&D earlier this month (good); only a pound higher than when winning at Newmarket last autumn (7f, good to soft); place chance. |

8st 11lb |
Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in. |
10/1 |

17th 13 (11) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 7f (good/good to yielding) winner in Ireland who was soon outpaced before coming home strongly to be beaten a whisker in 5f Scottish Sprint Cup (soft) 12 days ago; that was a really encouraging first go for Jim Goldie and this step back up to 7f should be fine; has to be of interest. |
6/1 |

Previously trained in Ireland, winning twice (7.5f/7f) in 2025 before changing hands for 31,000gns; has to prove his effectiveness over a sharp 5f, although his new stable does have a tremendous knack with sprinters. |

Won at Punchestown last year (1m, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; fine effort on seasonal return off this mark when not beaten far at the Curragh (7f, soft); sharper for that and nicely drawn here; interesting. |

Gained breakthrough success in first-time blinkers at Punchestown (1m, good to yielding) in September off 70; good third off this mark at Cork when last seen in September; blinkers are getting the best from him and he's a player if ready on seasonal return. |
