9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |
100/30 |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Got back to winning ways at Gowran last month (7f, good); soundly beaten off revised mark twice since, but has been eased 6lb for those two tame efforts, so is just 1lb higher than his last win; has run well on the AW so not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 12lb |
Just denied by Jon Riggens over C&D in June, more recently made all over 7f at Gowran; five days later awkward start and soon beaten in a similar event under 7lb penalty; capable 5lb claimer now booked so don't rule out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Carries a 7lb penalty due to his C&D victory five days ago; that win came following a good third at the Galway festival (7f, yielding) but he's not the most consistent overall, so not guaranteed to reproduce his winning form. |

30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
10st 0lb |
Seven wins up to 7f with latest coming at the Curragh over 6f in August before a lesser Fairyhouse run; all his best form is on faster ground so this isn't ideal. |
9/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 9-78 and has gone close on the AW a few times this year, including on penultimate when strong-finishing third over 5f; this is his optimum trip; player from lower turf mark on beach debut; tongue-tied. |
7/1 |
|
8th 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |
11/2 |

3rd 8 (8) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (5f/6f) but 0-4 for this yard; never featured following a slow start at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, but he's down to a career-low mark and is one to keep an eye on in the betting now dropping class. |

7th 9 (10) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Registered 10th Dundalk win over this trip in January, his first since September 2024; solid efforts in defeat since, not beaten far into eighth when awkward leaving the stalls on latest; returns from 174 days off and can race from really attractive mark (18lb below AW rating) on his beach debut. |
4/1 |

8th 12 (10) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

15th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Inconsistent, ex-Irish gelding who's been among the favourites in two runs for his current yard (headgear back on today); latest Brighton evidence suggests he's worth another try over this trip off his higher AW mark. |
5/2 |
|
9th 13 (13) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
He has gone the wrong way on turf in Ireland this season but he did show clear promise on the AW at Dundalk early in the year, including finishing first past the post in a 6f maiden in February (disqualified on a technicality); he has joined a stable who have enjoyed considerable success with similar types and he's a fascinating contender, for all his draw could have been kinder. |
