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. |

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. |

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. |

Two wins include over this trip at the Curragh a year ago off 73; fine comeback run at Leopardstown but race may have come too soon when only midfield at the Curragh four days later; short break since and remains nicely handicapped, with in-form rider's claim an added bonus. |
