31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Progressing well on AW for current yard, recording a second win at Dundalk last month off 61 before solid third there next time; couldn't transfer that form to turf at Bellewstown last time when tailed off (1m4f, soft); perhaps better ground can suit more, but likelihood is that he's better on AW. |

8st 11lb |
Busy AW campaign over the winter, winning over this trip and runner-up three times afterwards; ran well for a long way on latest but 1m4f seemed too far; back in trip with race-fitness guaranteed so definite each-way claims. |
10/1 |
|
5th 10 (10) |

Easy winner over 1m here in January and best effort since on latest when staying-on second to Baila Conmigo over 1m2f last month; beaten favourite only previous try at this longer trip; Keane takes over. |

Easy winner over 1m here in January off 50; beaten favourite in following four runs from 1m-1m4f, but they were solid efforts all the same; last time over 1m was not one of his best. |

9st 12lb |
Three course wins at 7f/1m and is now 2lb below his last winning mark from January last year; knocking on the door here recently, placing in four of his last five runs (three over C&D); took third in a higher grade last week; leading chance. |
9/4 |

3rd 11 (3) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
8st 13lb |
Three course wins at 7f/1m and is now 2lb below his last winning mark from January last year; consistent runs since the turn of the year, placing in three of his four runs; left with plenty to do last time before running on to take a distant second behind Aingeal Dorcha; decent chance off same mark and kind draw, but this is a higher level. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 9 (10) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 11lb |
Three-time course winner at 7f/1m; consistent lately; last two runs at this trip suggest he can be competitive here; took him a while to get an opening when running on into fourth behind Aingeal Dorcha last time; definite chance of turning the tables. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |

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. |

Not long with Donegal yard and Donegal rider aboard; all six wins have come on AW at Dundalk, but he went close at Roscommon this time last year; best at 1m4f but has run some decent races over 2m. |

Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

Four-time winner for Ed Dunlop (three on AW); won four-runner 1m2f Brighton handicap last July; best run for this yard so far when a dead-heating third of nine with Star Mind over the extended 1m2f here last Friday; this trip is possibly a bit shorter than ideal. |
