10st 0lb |
5-13 on AW including this race in 2021; respectable effort when fourth in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July (5f, good); a neck behind Black Forza when fourth over C&D latest (4lb better off now); needs more stepped back up in grade. |

Five-time course winner including a C&D Group 3; beaten 3.25l off 99 on last AW start in July; decent runs in defeat since including a 3.25l fourth in the Sapphire Stakes; a bit to find on the figures but should run a solid race. |

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 course win in May on 16th outing, beating subsequent Rockingham winner Keke; seldom runs a bad race; trainer has developed a good record on big days at this venue |

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. |

9st 10lb |
Eight-time winner including four over C&D, most recently in December off 90; below best in conditions event back at 5f on latest, return to this trip and handicap ranks should suit. |

9st 7lb |
Eight-time winner including over C&D; scored off 90 in a 6f handicap here on latest in December and is now rated 95; gets the mares' allowance and her rider's 7lb claim brings her right into this on the figures; not discounted. |

8st 13lb |
On a 16-race losing streak but shaped well on a number of occasions, including on return 7 days ago when beaten 1.75l by Glory To Be at Leopardstown on yielding; has slipped to an attractive mark and a leading player if building on return. |
8/1 |

3rd 10 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Back-to-back winner in 2023 in a 5f Navan maiden (soft) and a 6f Curragh handicap off 70 (heavy); nothing since then but creditable fifth at the Curragh in November on her first try at this trip in a first-time hood and tongue tie (left off now). |

8st 7lb |
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. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 10lb |
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. |

One of two for yard; kept busy last year and four wins included one over C&D (good) in September off 77 and just 1lb higher here; subsequently won off revised mark of 84 at Bellewstown in October; badly out of form so far this year, however, and needs a revival. |

Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and soft ground; is 2lb lower than when winning at Bellewstown in October but has struggled badly in both starts this season; others arrive in better form. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
10st 5lb |
Gained fifth win of career off 1lb lower over C&D (soft) in October; out of form on AW in November; trailed in last of 14 on Curragh return a fortnight ago; contender if he's near his best with capable 7lb claimer aboard. |
