11-wins include five here, including in March claimer; most recent run at the Curragh in August was a solid one and has to be respected given his record here. |

9st 10lb |
11-wins winner, 6-38 on turf; winner of four of his seven 2025 starts, best on AW, though won at Cork on penultimate start; 0-15 record at this venue is a possible negative, placed four times. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Six wins to his name but on a losing run that stretches back to September 2022; not beaten far in two of four visits to Gowran in recent months; Limerick third offered renewed hope, confirmed by a C&D second that gives him a slight edge over William F Browne and Max Meridius. |

8st 11lb |
Six wins to his name but on a losing run that stretches back to September 2022; not beaten far in two of her last four races (all at Gowran) but clearly needs to find extra; official rating has slumped from a peak of 85 to a lowly 38. |

Two of her five Flat wins have come at this track; won a Tipperary maiden hurdle last year and not a bad Downpatrick handicap run last month; decent Sligo Flat run since; needs more on these terms. |

Eight-time winner including over C&D last year; however, has been badly out of form this year and can't be fancied until showing more. |

Second reserve; adores Sligo where he won again back in May; down the field at the Curragh afterwards; others preferred. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |
8st 11lb |
Unbeaten in four runs at Sligo, most recently last month (third has won since) at 6.5f; 4lb rise okay but record at this track relatively underwhelming so needs to improve that. |
9/1 |

1st 6 (4) |
3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |

Unbeaten in three runs at Sligo and going for three-in-a-row in this race, the last two coming from stall 16; Hayes is elsewhere today, but quite the substitute to have in the saddle and his comeback run was fine. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown and when third over 1m here 11 days ago, a good effort in the circumstances; Billy Lee has a good record on her. |

Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown on latest, so comes with a health warning. |

Six-time winner, including twice in July; defied a 7lb rise for a Ballinrobe success when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival; overcame a high draw, and the loss of several lengths at the start; holding her form well judged on last week's Galway second. |

Five-time winner on the Flat, below form on last two runs in that sphere, last seen finishing tenth of 11 over extended 1m2f at Dundalk off a mark of 63; stays 1m; off 113 days; late comer to hurdles and makes debut. |

First reserve; won a 6f handicap at this meeting last year off 2lb higher; soundly beaten on first run for 331 days at Naas last month (5f, good), but sharper for that and 7f is fine, so don't discount if she gets a run. |
|
|
17th 14 (6) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

A 6f Laytown winner in September off 46; five wins at 6f/7f; has never run over this trip so may lack the speed to match some of these, especially returning from a 331-day absence. |

1st 8 (6) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Back from a break to finish well behind Reponse Finale at Gowran last month (9.5f, gd-fm); ran well on only previous visit to this venue in 2022 off a much higher mark but out of form for some time so needs to revive. |
