Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf. |

9st 9lb |
Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |

Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

Six-time AW winner is 3-33 on turf; hasn't won on grass since a 6f success at Cork (good) in June 2023; went close at Dundalk on latest (6f) and has gone well over this C&D before; place shout. |

18th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three 6f AW wins this year for new yard and short-headed at Hamilton (5f, good) eight days ago when back on turf; there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and he's a strong contender. |

Has been on a roll at Southwell in recent weeks and didn't run badly in defeat at Wolverhampton; carries a penalty for the cosy win five days ago but a greater concern would be his record on grass, which reads 1-33. |

In good form since joining current yard, notably good third to Inishmot Prince, not clear run at vital stage when beaten a neck by Collective Power over 6f in steadily-run affair and short of room home turn when third (Inishmot Prince second) back at 5f a week ago; cheekpieces now tried. |
