9st 11lb |
In wonderful form here at the moment, gained his first win since 2022 when breaking his AW duck over C&D in February; up 6lb and absolutely bolted up last time, with Storm Eric 5.5l back in second; up 10lb more and entering a higher grade, but decent draw and he's flying. |

Two wins on turf; has been running well here in recent months and was rewarded with victory three weeks ago; has gone up 6lb for this rematch with third-placed Eighty Eight and Storm Eric. |

Two-time turf winner is 0-6 on the AW but only narrowly beaten over C&D off today's mark in December; needs to improve on last month's effort however. |

15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 0lb |
Worth considering on her winter AW form; made the frame in four of her five races after a breakthrough win in November; needs to step up on modest turf form; her regular rider claims a valuable 7lb. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Breakthrough win over C&D in November off lowly 46; couple of decent runs of late off this 10lb higher mark and should again be thereabouts. |

13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner off 67 in December 2024, now 12lb lower; best run for some time when third to Without Love in January, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; faces a renewal of more recent rivalry with Aingeal Dorcha and Storm Eric. |

3rd 5 (13) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
C&D winner off 67 in December 2024; best run for some time off much reduced mark last month when third in three-way photo under today's rider, a short-head off second-placed Doctor Grace; one to consider off unchanged mark although draw not ideal. |
15/2 |

C&D winner off 12lb higher in December 2024; well handicapped but mostly out of form in 2025 and beaten 10.5l on return from 109 days off here last month; revival required. |

9st 11lb |
Three wins here over 7f/1m and plenty of placed form over 10.5f; with the blinkers refitted, had three of these behind when beaten just half a length here a week ago, coming home well from off the pace; good chance. |
4/1 |

2nd 8 (4) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Three wins here over 7f/1m, but most recent placed form has been over 10.5f around here and this trip is sharp enough for him nowadays. |
9/1 |
|
8th 5 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 0lb |
Three wins here over 7f-1m but does stay this far and has multiple placed efforts over C&D; on a dangerous mark and a recent spin over hurdles at Wexford will have blown away any cobwebs; chance with rider taking off handy 7lb. |

Maiden after 18 starts but ran on well from rear for fourth over C&D on AW debut in December; 9lb out of handicap on latest so that run excused; runs off correct mark here so don't rule out. |

Lightly raced 4yo has yet to trouble the judge, okay C&D effort two starts back, didn't seem to stay 1m4f latest; cheekpieces now tried and back in trip. |

10th 8 (1) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Slight improvement stepped up to 1m4f in first-time visor (retained) here on latest; weakened late so the drop back to this trip looks a plus but more needed. |

Yet to threaten in five starts, albeit modest progress when beaten around 8l here over 10.5f in September; visor applied stepping up further in trip; plenty to prove at present. |

Placed at Dundalk on her penultimate start; now back on the mark off which she won over 1m4f at Roscommon in May; has won over this trip but probably more effective over further these days. |
20/1 |
|
3rd 3 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

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 |

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. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |

First reserve; multiple C&D winner bounced back to form when a 2.25l fourth here on latest; that came off a mark of 40 though and he's up against it at these weights. |

4-24 on AW including three wins over C&D; is 4lb lower than when scoring here in September but his form in 2026 has been underwhelming so needs to get back on track. |
