9st 1lb |
Notched a third career win when making all on seasonal return over 6f at the Curragh in March (heavy) but just fair efforts twice since at same venue; yet to win over this far and best form on easier ground so would welcome rain. |

Notched a third career win when making all on seasonal return over 6f here in March (heavy); 5f may not have suited last time when 7.75l behind (soft to heavy); upped in trip now and could be competitive. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson; has prospered at the Curragh since joining Pat Flynn, ending last season with a 7f win and starting the new campaign with a 1m success; goes well for this rider whose claim is now reduced to 5lb. |

1st 16 (21) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson who changed hands for 15,000gns before making a very encouraging stable debut when beaten 0.75l in 6f handicap at this track in October on soft before going one better next time over 7f, beating Miss Nifty by 0.5l; raised 7lb for that but unexposed and trip could easily unlock further improvement; off 152 days; enjoys soft ground. |

7f AW maiden winner for Archie Watson; changed hands for 15,000gns and very encouraging yard debut here last month when up with pace throughout in finishing a clear second of 15 over 6f (soft-to-heavy); good chance if seeing out the trip in such conditions. |

|
|
13th 16 (1) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Useful sprinter who is suited by soft conditions; third in opening two 6f runs this season here (heavy) and at Naas (soft); upped in trip when runner-up over C&D last time; was 4.75l behind winner Red Charlie that day but now 14lb swing at the weights, although he had race-fitness on his side that day. |

2nd 7 (15) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

Useful sprinter in this grade; suited by testing conditions; worth a shot at 7f after two good runs at 6f in the last fortnight; third here with Merisi Diamond back in sixth; same place at Naas with Eichan San among those behind, not guaranteed to uphold that form. |

Three 6f wins came at Navan (twice) and last summer at Naas off 1lb higher; entitled to come on from C&D comeback run in April. |

9th 12 (10) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Three 6f wins with the latest coming at Naas last July off 60 (Carrigans Grove in second) (yielding); has run well over this C&D in October, finished a 6l fifth here (soft to heavy) before a 5.25l third later in the month (6f, heavy); 7f was perhaps too far when last seen here in November; may improve for the run. |

Two of four wins have come here; recent C&D run behind Smoke Them Out leaves him with a fair bit to find but previous Fairyhouse run was solid and can't be ruled out; cheekpieces belatedly tried. |

9st 3lb |
Won four in a row on AW this year before close fourth at Musselburgh (7f); merely midfield in a big field over this C&D 12 days later but he sat prominent in a race that favoured those ridden more patiently; not discounted. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 1y Class 3 |

Attracted strong market support on his penultimate run over 7f in February but could only manage third; made amends upped to 1m last time, scoring with a dominant performance; raised 6lb for that win, but he was rated 13lb higher in 2024, so there could be more in him if he continues in good form. |
