9st 10lb |
Better than ever last summer, winning Cork premier handicap (7f, good) and career-best second in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return in May and following month fared best of those racing far side when third in repeat Cork bid; in fine form but stiff enough task conceding weight to a pair of less-exposed 3yo fillies. |

Better than ever last summer, winning over C&D (good) and career-best in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh over an extended 6.5f in July; matched that effort when beaten just a neck by Headmaster in the Habitat Handicap back at the Curragh on seasonal return (6f, good); entitled to improve and he's in the mix off 2lb higher. |

Better than ever last summer, winning at Cork and career-best when second in Scurry Handicap here over extended 6f; bit keen and not quite at same level in Listed at Galway festival when last seen; may just need this comeback run. |

Expensive yearling was second to useful type on only juvenile start at Navan (5.5f, good); off over ten months and disappointing favourite at the Curragh last month but quite possibly heavy ground was the reason; son of No Nay Never should enjoy this surface. |

9st 0lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but he needed all of that trip at the Curragh (good) a month ago to be ahead when it mattered; it's debatable whether he's got enough boot under the bonnet to win this much deeper race; best form on good or yielding (below par on softer). |

Won a C&D maiden just over a year ago; consistent enough on turf since without winning and was only beaten 2l over 1m here last time; this trip should suit better and is down 2lb, so a chance. |

Two 2023 wins on AW; excellent second on good ground at Navan last time; does not need to improve much to win a turf handicap but the prospect of testing ground is a concern. |

9st 10lb |
No win since December 2024 (1m4f); weakened from 2f out on recent stable debut at Redcar (1m2f; 14-1, beaten 15l by Woodleigh); possibly needed that first run for 278 days but others are preferred. |

Ex-Seb Spencer; dual AW winner who ran a sound race when fourth in Doncaster handicap last August (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); no headgear this time and may need the run after 278-day break. |

10st 13lb |
Five-time winner on a handy mark but it's been a quiet start to this season and, even if back on song, looks vulnerable to stronger stayers over this far; the return of a visor might be no bad thing. |
14/1 |

8th 2 (10) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
C&D scorer who made a promising return from a poor draw when seventh of 22 in 7f York handicap four weeks ago; figures on a handy-looking mark now and he's interesting. |

15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden; opening handicap effort last month at Gowran was okay but others look better handicapped here and possible ground concerns. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden, a short head in front of today's rival Pigeon House; two subsequent runs below that level; should be better for his run in a 1m maiden at Navan three weeks ago. |

Improved to win Down Royal maiden last summer (7f, good) but wasn't up to the task in Group 1 Moyglare subsequently; could have more to offer now her sights have been lowered. |
