1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 120y |
9st 3lb |
Went up an aggregate 21lb for three handicap wins last season; seemed to be improving when second at Limerick in April, beaten only a nose; Curragh run eight days ago (17th of 19) was too bad to be true; 7-2 chance then, interesting to see if the market is prepared to overlook that showing. |

Went up an aggregate 21lb for three handicap wins last season; continuing to improve, judged on Limerick second last month, beaten only a nose; has picked up another 2lb for that but still worth considering. |

Led, was headed, but then rallied for a 0.5l third of 16 at Limerick (1m, yielding); 1-24 strike rate is not a great return but has placed on many occasions; should go well again off 1lb higher, but this ground may not suit. |

Sole success came in a Bellewstown maiden in April 2023; has run well in defeat at times and should strip fitter for her comeback run at Gowran 17-days ago; place chance if steps forward from that. |

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. |

Leopardstown maiden winner for Dermot Weld; no joy first two starts for this stable but off the mark on seasonal return in a 1m handicap here (soft) off 82; moves up in trip and steps into pattern company for the first time; interesting that McMonagle prefers her to Lemsairbat; place claims. |

Back from a break with a C&D (soft) second 1.5l behind Earls early last month and same mark now; won her maiden over C&D on heavy and not a bad run at the Curragh latest; solid chance if the visor ekes out a little bit more. |
