Won twice last season, both at Leopardstown over 7f on good and soft; remains 9lb above her last win and she ran poorly on her seasonal return last month; yard form a plus. |

10st 0lb |
Won two races within a week here last year over C&D on different ground types; some good efforts at Laytown and Dundalk since then; beaten 8l in an AW handicap when last seen in November (1m); 10lb higher since last winning mark but worth a look back at this track. |

Back-to-back 7f wins at Leopardstown in August and placed twice over 1m subsequently; this trip looks too sharp. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins at Leopardstown last August (both 7f, good); held off 4lb lower by Sun Soldier at Punchestown in September; lacks a run and record fresh suggests she might need this. |

3rd 7 (9) |

Gained back-to-back wins in 7f handicaps at Leopardstown and then a close third over this far at Punchestown; edging up the weights but thriving right now and has form here. |

9st 0lb |
Maiden after 23 runs; placed seven times up to 1m4f; two respectable runs this season, plenty of horses behind him on both occasions, seventh of 17 at Leopardstown and sixth of 23 at Navan; hard to be confident but may reward the persistence of connections at some point. |

Maiden after 22 runs but has been placed several times up to 1m4f; not a bad effort at Leopardstown over 1m on return and should be thereabouts. |

12st 2lb |
Gained a second win over this trip at Leopardstown last season and successful over 1m since; back to form with 1l defeat at Gowran in July but couldn't build on that a fortnight ago; should be suited by the surface and Patrick Mullins is an eyecatching jockey booking; interesting contender despite not looking particularly well treated at present. |

9st 6lb |
Running consistently well over 6f/7f on AW this winter and when a close fifth of seven at Lingfield (6f, AW) two months ago it was a tough Class 2; five runs on turf have yielded two wins and this Irish challenger is on the shortlist back down in grade and back on grass. |

Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |

Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

One of two for trainer; career-best form since November features two wins at Dundalk and a fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire; better again in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time when a runner-up off 1lb lower (1m, good to soft); big chance with ground to suit. |

Promise in turf maidens last year at 1m-1m1f; well-beaten off 75 on handicap debut at Dundalk (1m) in October; okay run in 1m maiden there when last seen in January; stamina to prove on return to turf. |

Showed enough in her turf maidens to believe she should be good enough to win a race of this standard; always behind on AW/handicap debut when last over C&D in October; highest-rated in field. |
