28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

One win and five places from ten Curragh starts; good chance now after second over C&D last month, marking an improvement from a third placing over 6f on seasonal debut; best suited by soft ground. |

9st 6lb |
Three-time Curragh winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; has also scored at this track; recent form is unconvincing; trainer may have a better chance with the apprentice-ridden Collective Power. |

7th 3 (14) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |
10st 1lb |
Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; most recent run this term was a step in the right direction (considerately-handled never nearer sixth) and could reverse form with a couple of these with top rider replacing inexperienced 10lb claimer; down to a career-low mark. |

Three-time course winner over 5f/6f on varying ground; poor return to action in March over C&D on heavy; better over 7f last time for this 10lb claimer; trainer has a more obvious chance with Iff In Doubt. |

9st 0lb |
One of three for yard; five-time winner, the most recent over C&D (yielding) in October 2024 off 4lb higher; shaped as though in need of the run last time at the Curragh and should be much sharper now; interesting. |

9st 1lb |
One of three for yard; five-time winner including three 6f victories at this venue; on losing run since winning at Naas in October 2024 (6f, yielding); no joy last season but did run well in defeat at times and returns 3lb below his last winning mark; record fresh suggests he might need this. |

7th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; resurgent of late off much reduced mark, gaining second win from last three starts when running out a decisive scorer over 7f a week ago; up an aggregate of 21lb for those two wins so needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months; first AW attempt at 1m. |

1st 4 (3) |
28th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; holding his form at a much lower level nowadays, hit with a 10lb rise for C&D success last month and better again when second to a stablemate off this mark since; should be thereabouts. |

9st 7lb |
Four-time course winner (three C&D); won here on last season's return from 4lb higher and has the benefit of a recent AW run this time; excuse when 7th on AW latest (blindfold off late) and could go well back here despite his advancing years. |

Nine-time winner, including five on turf; last won over 6f (good) here in May 2025; went close in a 21-runner 5f handicap at Naas three starts ago; faded late into fifth behind Sovereign Cry when favourite back at Naas last time. |
