31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
9st 4lb |
Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix. |

9st 8lb |
Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his eighth win when scoring over 2m on AW in March; poor run at Bellewstown last time but that was only a day after being placed at Dundalk; goes well at Ballinrobe and this track isn't dissimilar. |

Chance here with fitness advanced by a hurdles run at Fairyhouse; went close against Trubshaw in a small-field Sligo event last August; probably a better effort third of 23 over 1m6f here in October. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
12-race maiden returned from AW campaign when never counting over inadequate 1m at the Curragh in March (heavy); given a break since and ground more in her favour here; stamina unproven. |

12th 21 (8) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Eleven race maiden is fit from the AW and has shown ability but best form is over further than this and she's unraced on heavy ground; a bit to prove in these conditions. |

9st 11lb |
Lightly raced maiden wasn't sighted in three maidens last year and last of 17 on handicap debut at Navan in October (upset in stalls), trained then by Michael Grassick; big step up in trip for seasonal/yard debut and best watched. |

8th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 30y |

Lightly raced maiden hasn't been sighted in three maidens, twice when slowly away; hood tried last time now discarded; hard to fancy on handicap debut on limited evidence so far but potential improver. |

Six-race maiden has come up short in first three AW handicaps at 10.5f-1.4f; failed to beat a rival when last seen in January; hood goes on now upped in trip but others more likely. |

3rd 9 (10) |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last summer before losing his way; decent run at Dundalk last month off 8lb higher AW mark so has to be of interest back on the turf (stamina proven). |
100/30 |
|
4th 4 (5) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last summer before losing his way; effective here and not badly treated, so could easily stage a revival. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Remains a maiden under both codes but running well of late, most recently staying-on third over 1m5f at Leopardstown (good); shortlisted. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 15 (15) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Remains a maiden after 22 starts (six over hurdles); fair fourth over hurdles at Bellewstown last month before another respectable run on the Flat at Limerick; an each-way proposition with the champion jockey aboard. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Better hurdler, winning Sligo maiden (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, just okay run in handicap at Punchestown festival on latest; precious little of note on the Flat last year, tried hooded now on return and may improve. |
12/1 |
|
9th 24 |
1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |

Never outside top three in three starts over hurdles, including a Sligo maiden hurdle win (2m2f, good to yielding) in October; more needed now entering handicap company. |

Dual-purpose maiden showed some ability in maiden hurdles but has been poor in handicaps; of limited appeal back on the Flat. |

Verdict
Little strength in depth in this low-grade handicap. Recent winner Desert Friend and last week’s Leopardstown third Jurality hold strong claims, but MEPHISTO (nap) is on an attractive mark compared to the AW, on hist first turf start since October 2024. [Alan Hewison]
