8st 12lb |
Added a third Flat win at Navan last time (1m5f, good) in a big field by a neck; had Trubshaw 5.5l behind that day; up 5lb but should remain competitive; has never raced at this track. |

Only Flat win came over this trip at Galway in 2023 but went close at Navan last month, every chance in a three-way photo when beaten a neck (1m5f, good-to-yielding); 3lb higher but has his chance again. |

Progressive in winning back-to-back 1m4f handicaps at Dundalk in March/April; had to wait for a gap to open at Navan last time and ran on well to take fourth, 1 3/4l in front of Earthsong; very capable 7lb claimer is starting to establish herself; strong contender. |

Progressive in winning back-to-back 1m4f handicaps at Dundalk; appeared to have plenty left in the tank last time; those two runs, if not his pedigree, suggest the extra two furlongs will be within his range; holds a leading chance here with Sadhbh Tormey's claim in play again. |

Best effort came on handicap debut over 1m6f at Navan on yielding ground last August; produced another solid display at that venue last month, prominent all the way before losing fourth place to Celtic Druid; that rival finished well after getting into the clear and may uphold the form. |

Best effort came on handicap debut over this C&D (yielding) last August, staying on from the back for a 2l third of 11 off this mark; things didn't go her way at the Curragh when last seen in October but she remains with potential; could go well if handling this ground (mixed messages in pedigree). |

21st May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Two-time German winner who is 0-11 for his current trainer and the forecast soft ground may not be ideal; however, after being denied a clear run he kept on well for seventh of 20 at Navan (1m5f, good to yielding) last month, beaten about 5l, and this Irish raider could have a big say back up in trip. |

Two wins last season, both of them under today's rider and the second of which arrived over C&D (yielding); creditable enough seasonal return off 9lb higher at Navan when a 5.5l eighth of 20, shaping as though he would improve for the run; in the mix. |

Sole win came at Cork in 2023; decent form last autumn, including a close third over 1m4f at Galway and second in a 19-runner contest at the Curragh, with Whats New, Earthsong and Bruant behind; may improve from a Cork run, but has to reverse form with Celtic Drud and Earthsong. |
