26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won at two and three for Ballydoyle; won claimers here over 1m and 6f in February; coughing post-race when disappointing odds-on favourite in 7f claimer here in March; been given time to recover and looks a big player. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Seeking a hat-trick of claiming wins here after wins at a mile and 6f last month, latest under today's rider last month, overcoming tardy start when coming late; intermediate trip ideal and the one to beat again. |

1st 2 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

One of four for trainer; 2-3 for Aidan O'Brien; no wins from four outings for Joseph O'Brien; middling efforts in first three runs for this yard but given a good chance at the weights in a claimer here last time and duly obliged under Colin Keane (1m); similarly well treated at the weights here and Holohan has been in good form at the course but drop back to 6f a negative. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 10lb |
Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap (good) on this card in 2024 and he's just 1lb higher now; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown latest (soft); should get a strong pace to aim at here and not discounted. |

Four-time AW winner is 1-19 on turf; is 2lb below that last turf win which came at Naas (5f, good) in May 2024; handles an ease but this trip may just stretch his stamina. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who has maintained his consistency in two starts for new stable, creditable fourth at Musselburgh (1m) latest; still has a modest strike-rate but is likely to give his running and again holds frame possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 (2) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
Just two wins from his 33 starts (both over 1m last spring on good/yielding) but he was highly consistent last year and ran another big race when going close on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 (5) |

Won only two of his 32 starts in Ireland for Andy Slattery but he did finish in the first three in half of them, including third in a 1m Dundalk claimer six weeks ago; first run for new yard. |

First turf run since September last year; excellent record on AW of late, winning four of her last 10 starts, three at this trip; one place behind Thaloria when third in 7f claimer there when last seen; tough mark back on grass. |

3rd 5 (4) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Excellent overall record in a busy campaign since joining Ado McGuinness in November, winning four of her 11 starts, three times at this trip; didn't land a blow here a week ago from wide draw in handicap but has to be respected back in claiming company. |
11/4 |

Excellent overall record in a busy campaign since joining Ado McGuinness in November, winning four of her ten starts and placing on a further three occasions; bagged another win back down to 7f here last time; up 5lb and based on the evidence, this may not be her ideal trip. |

One of four for trainer; three of four wins here have been at this trip, including 0.5l defeat of Una Matata in November (much better off at weights now); went close in a claimer here in December; 1m4f trip too far a week later when keen; can't be ruled out off a nice weight. |
