20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won a Southwell maiden (6f, Tapeta) last summer and was runner-up in a 7f handicap there last month; didn't get the best of runs in that race and that was a promising effort after five months off; interesting contender off unchanged mark. |

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.. |

Runner-up in a Kempton maiden last year but struggled this year for Harry Charlton; bought for 20,000gns at the July sales and probably best watched on stable debut. |

Well-bred gelding who looked promising when second of 14 in a Kempton novice (7f, AW) last September, but he hasn't had a clear shot at things in either outing since; could rebound with blinkers now given a go. |

9st 8lb |
Second to a clear winner in Killarney maiden last October and similar level of form on latest when chasing home a progressive sort (winner again since) over this trip in Leopardstown handicap last month; both those efforts on much softer ground, untried on ground this quick but big player if handling it, although draw a negative. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 9 (13) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
9st 5lb |
Best run in six efforts came in Killarney maiden (1m, soft) in October when 5.5l to Lady Lilac; mild signs of promise in two runs this term, latest at Gowran Park 22 days ago when beaten 3.25l into fourth over 7f on good to yielding in a claimer; dropped 4lb and Colin Keane takes over for yard in good form; could be on a nice mark and each-way chance. |

Produced back-to-back solid runs at Ballinrobe and the Curragh earlier this season; failed to reach the same standard in his next four races; had plenty to spare when winning over an extended 1m1f at Gowran last Saturday; unknown quantity at this trip, good chance if he stays. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
0-17 but has looked like her turn is near, placing the last four times over a range of trips from 5f to 1m; good 0.5l second to Gloriously Glam on last try over this trip in May, so shouldn't be far away back in a handicap. |
7/1 |

3rd 4 (2) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y |

Near misses in two claimers during May extended her losing sequence to 16 so she's had plenty of chances now; rated only 62 so should be vulnerable again. |

Three wins last year, at 5.5f and 7f, final start on firm ground at Bath; encouraging yard debut here last month when close fourth over conventional 5f; slightly longer trip here should suit so considered off same mark. |

Won twice last year and is now 2lb below his last success but heavy defeats both starts this term; blinkers go back on but they didn't do much for him when he wore them before. |

C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

9st 6lb |
Makes handicap/turf debut after three runs in 6f/7f AW novices, best run when fifth of seven over 7f at Lingfield in March; soundly beaten last time and cheekpieces now tried; worth a market check. |

Out of the frame in both starts over 7f on AW six months apart (gelded after debut); bred to be better than he has shown but may be one for handicaps after this. |
