9st 11lb |
Back to form for third career win when landing Gowran handicap over slightly shorter last month (soft) off career-low mark (beating strong-finishing stablemate Khormor Syd); wants it soft, may not confirm that form now. |

Second runner for yard; two-time winner but last win came at the Curragh (1m, soft to heavy) off 20lb higher in 2021; couple of decent runs on testing ground last year; well-backed into 7-1 for 26-runner Curragh handicap on return last month but never involved; drops in grade. |

9st 12lb |
Best effort yet when a 1.25l second of 14 at Gowran (9.5f, soft) on seasonal return; shaped like this longer trip would suit and is a player off just 1lb higher. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
9st 9lb |
Career-best over just shy of this trip on handicap debut at Gowran last month when up with much of pace in finishing third on soft ground; quicker ground and sharper track could enable him to see this out, so definite player. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 8 (5) |
9th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 1f 130y |

Three undistinguished starts for Peter Lawlor; reared and veered right from stalls when midfield in Navan maiden on yard debut 10 days ago; could improve on handicap debut. |

9st 4lb |
Front-runner off the mark over 1m6f at Gowran, off basement Irish Flat rating of 40; fifth won at Leopardstown on Friday; went left up the straight last time and trainer feels she'll be better going that way, so might struggle on the bends here. |
4/1 |
|
1st 13 (12) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
8st 10lb |
Career-best when runner-up in a 1m2f Navan handicap last October, though beaten 5l; made a lot of the running before fading to fourth over a shorter trip here 13 days ago on seasonal debut; should strip fitter now and the longer distance may suit |
11/2 |

4th 14 (11) |
9th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 1f 130y |

Lightly-raced mare ran a career-best when runner-up in Navan (1m2f, yielding) handicap in October, but was 5l behind the winner; contender on her return if she's ready to roll. |

Showed some promise when fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel last September; two fifth placings over different trips at Gowran last month were mildly encouraging; needs to find more. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Showed some promise when fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Listowel last September; never far from the pace when fifth over an extended 1m1f here 13 days ago on return; ended up only 3/4l behind the pace-setting Prom Queen. |

Dual-purpose gelding who won on the Flat last month; finished well for third over hurdles at Punchestown but over 2m and stamina could be an issue over this far on chase debut. |
