16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

9st 3lb |
Won the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) in August and Listed runner-up at Dundalk (7f, AW) three weeks ago; however, in between those he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Dancing Gemini in a Listed race here (7f, soft) and he's down the pecking order today. |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Took advantage of his career-low mark when beating Donna Nook at Ayr (1m, good to firm) three weeks ago; not so good at Thirsk last time and he is not the easiest to predict. |
9/1 |

9th 11 (5) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
He'd taken a healthy drop in the weights during an AW spell since December and was able to take advantage at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last week; ought to have another handicap in him off this 2lb higher mark but perhaps in a less competitive race than this. |
7/1 |

5th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Ran encouragingly at Hamilton on Sunday when switched back to turf (from AW) for first time since September; still has a modest strike-rate but is well treated on his win off 10lb higher last May. |

7th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

Gained breakthrough win over C&D in April off today's mark; has run creditably in defeat on turf since and should make his presence felt. |

25th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
AW winner who is 0-8 on turf but is threatening to put that right, having finished second at Brighton (1m/7f, good/good to firm) the last twice; this in-form contender has to enter calculations. |

Just got up to win a C&D nursery last time on second nursery start/AW debut; 7lb higher and cheekpieces tried but still has to be respected. |

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

Encouraging runs over this trip in maidens but didn't really build on that when making his handicap debut at the Curragh last time; may need to come down in the weights. |

Best run when third in a Bellewstown nursery on heavy ground last summer; two moderate runs this year; only 2lb out of the handicap but hard to make a case for him |

18th Oct 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish 4yo; opened his account with hurdles win in July when last seen (stable debut); interesting off current mark back on the Flat. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-14 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles when based in Ireland but was close third in 13-runner Cork handicap hurdle (2m4f, good) in May and will be hard to beat if somewhere near that form here; recently changed hands for 20,000euros; drops back in trip for stable debut. |
