8st 7lb |
Has returned from 260-day absence in the form of her life for new yard, making all for today's rider to win over this trip at both Naas and Down Royal (good) in blinkers; up an aggregate of 16lb but remains 7lb out of handicap in this much higher grade. |

Some AW form for previous yard and immediate return for current yard on returning from 260-day absence at Naas last month when making all in apprentice handicap over this trip (good) in first-time blinkers; 9lb rise but no surprise if she made a bold follow-up bid. |

Ended last season with fine second placings at Down Royal and the Curragh; especially good effort behind the progressive Syzygy on the second occasion; no sign of similar form in three starts this term. |

Twice second for this yard after being acquired from a claimer last summer; went close over this trip at the Curragh in October; never involved on her comeback there over 7f; needs to bounce back after a below-par run at Sligo; hooded now. |

Heavy-ground winner over this trip at Gowran last September and handled quicker ground well at Leopardstown last month when coming from good bit back to finish second to an improver (third won next time); one to consider, despite wide draw. |

Improved effort on debut for this yard at Navan (1m5f, good) last month when a staying on fourth over 1m5f (good); badly away and didn't handle track at Bellewstown latest so that run forgiven. |
8/1 |

Much-improved effort on debut for this stable at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago when keeping on for a 1.25l fourth of 16; should go well again off 1lb higher if in the same mood. |

Both turf wins came at Chester in 2024; surprise winner on AW at Dundalk last time given his poor form leading up to it, keeping on well over 1m4f; not certain to back that up off 3lb higher. |

On yard debut took a 1m2f Naas handicap under today's rider in June and ended a poor run of form with unlucky nose defeat by Longseoir over C&D last month, not clear run and allowing winner first run before running on really strongly at the finish; good chance of overturning that form give a clearer run if handling conditions. |

9st 13lb |
Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement (from a handicap low of 62 to his present 98) when beating 24 rivals in last Sunday's Irish Lincoln; suited by the ground and the only runner with race-fitness; has to be taken seriously, although others have stronger claims at these weights. |
