Gained second career win off 5lb lower at Killarney in July (1m, good); has come up short twice since and has a bit to prove off his current mark. |

AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard, most recently beaten a head in Killarney handicap and creditable second in a Gowran claimer when visored first-time; more needed. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 1lb |
AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard; second at Limerick in June (1m, yielding) but her run over C&D two days later probably came too soon; another promising effort at Killarney last time when defeated by a head (1m, good); wears a first-time visor; chance. |

2nd 14 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Winner on AW in January; unlucky not to finish closer when sixth at Gowran, short of room when travelling well; backed that up with a promising second at Limerick; failed to make his presence felt when a well-supported favourite at Gowran two days later; the race may have come too soon. |

8st 13lb |
One of two for trainer; all three wins have come here, including one over C&D; 8lb below his last winning mark from 2024; good placed form on good ground over 1m here in June and at Killarney and Gowran last month; yielding to soft ground a possible excuse when disappointing at Galway last time; he could have a big run in him with Keane aboard for the first time. |

All three wins have been gained at the Curragh and a large portion of his places too; good second over 1m at his favoured venue last month and took that good form on tour to Killarney (1m, good) last time when just 0.75l behind the winner Red Hugh O'Donnell; up 3lb for that effort, but a repeat would see him thereabouts. |

Well-bred Godolphin cast-off progressing well in handicaps of late, ready winner over 1m at Gowran and three days later staying on second under hefty weight over today's trip at Ballinrobe; runs off 7lb higher mark here so needs to take another step forward, but possible. |

2nd 5 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |

Two-time C&D winner on heavy off higher marks; went close again over C&D in October, again on heavy; caught the eye when short of room and not beaten far at Killarney on latest (1m, good); softer conditions would be preferable but he's got plenty of decent form on this sort of ground and his yard targets this meeting; chance. |

First reserve; runner up in three of last four starts; chased home Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe on latest (9.5f, good); remains 7lb above sole success so needs to find a bit extra to get his head back in front; place chance. |
