1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however. |
16/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |
25/1 |

4th 9 (1) |

Two wins this year, both in Wolverhampton classified races (5f/6f); probably needs to find something extra in this handicap, though, and below form on last two starts (both 5f). |

9st 4lb |
Has record of 0-12 but he's run several good races at Dundalk (7f) since November including a close call on his penultimate run; now drops to 6f for the first time but he could make a serious impact if he gets a good pace to aim at. |

6th Jan 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Still a maiden, but middle-distances were not ideal for him; has shown a decent level of form in a sequence of 7f outings here; raced a little too freely when second on latest (Circles, fourth); seems close to making a breakthrough. |

Off the mark in a C&D handicap last week; this looks like a stronger event and she will need more to defy a 9lb higher mark; good draw for her preferred prominent tactics again. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

Heavily raced since winning easily for this rider here last October; won again at Dundalk the following month; unplaced on his next six Dundalk starts before hinting at a return to form in two outings at the Curragh; very closely matched with Miss Americana on running here 13 days ago; definite chance. |

Four-time winner on turf at 6f-1m, including when bolting up over C&D under this rider in October from 7lb lower; showed a return to form last two outings at the Curragh and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters. |

Won at Chelmsford (6f, Polytrack) last month when dropped back in trip from 1m; that's her sole victory from 17 attempts and she failed to threaten at Wolverhampton (6f) last time, but that was her Tapeta debut and she's not written off now back on Polytrack. |
