7th 8 (1) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 8lb |
No win on turf since 2022 but scored at Dundalk (7f) for the third time in February; poor on latest back at Dundalk (7f); 5lb lower mark on turf but has run poorly both previous starts over this C&D. |
14/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Made all when winning over C&D in February off 50; favourite to follow up over 6f last time when headed inside the final 110 yards; nudged up another 1lb but rider claims 4lb more than previously; he's in good form and has won off a mark of 62 in the past. |

30th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 180y |
9st 12lb |
Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |
8/1 |
|
14th 6 (15) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |
8/1 |

One of two for yard; most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown in September; given plenty to do when thundering home to finish a neck second here (7f) on latest; player up in trip but wide draw to overcome. |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Win at Down Royal in 2024 his sole success from 23 starts; however, he handles this surface and ran up a sequence of third placings before finishing fifth here 12 days ago, a run that matches him closely with Comfort Line, Kitty Bear and Punk Poet |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
8st 11lb |
One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 14 (4) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Three-time turf winner and often placed but 0-22 on AW and placed only three times; hard to make a strong case on recent AW form; however, he is so much more effective on turf that a good showing is not out of the question. |
12/1 |
|
8th 14 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Three-time turf winner but 0-21 on AW; 1.25l second over C&D in December off 1lb higher; finished 1l behind Roman Harry over 1m here last time; others preferred. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |
5/2 |
|
3rd 3 (14) |
12th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Six-time Dundalk winner with his last win coming over C&D this time last year off 72; one of three runners for the stable; hard to be confident given his modest turf win record (3-70). |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 8lb |
Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 6 (2) |
20th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps in December/January, most recently respectable third in low-grade Roscommon handicap; plenty on at the weights here. |

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

Without a win since 2023 and so signs of ending the drought on the Flat or over hurdles in 2025; beaten 5l on the AW last time out; others appeal more. |

Regressive on turf last season; more encouragment on AW; everything went wrong when beaten 5.5l over C&D behind Alex Belardo, checked early and didn't get clear run late on; player in first-time visor. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Bought out of Archie Watson's yard for 2,000gns last July and didn't run too badly on yard debut over C&D in December; faded late over 1m here when last seen; still unexposed so don't rule out; poor draw. |

Old boy won easily over C&D on heavy ground in the autumn and close third on soft here on second-last start; well held over 7f back here since. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Heavily raced since winning easily for this rider here last October; won again at Dundalk the following month; unplaced on his next six Dundalk starts before hinting at a return to form in two outings at the Curragh; very closely matched with Miss Americana on running here 13 days ago; definite chance. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 12 (12) |
9th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 180y |
9st 3lb |
Four-time winner on turf at 6f-1m, including when bolting up over C&D under this rider in October from 7lb lower; showed a return to form last two outings at the Curragh and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters. |

Returned from 182-day break and made stable/handicap debut over C&D in November but finished tailed off; same story next time over 6f; stable's sole runner of the year thus far won at 28-1; worth a market check in first-time blinkers. |
