Five-time winner; 2-33 on turf but hasn't won a race of any description since September 2023; decent third over C&D latest, however, and place claims if he can back that up. |

Has done a lot of racing since her last win which was in September 2023; fair sixth here on penultimate run, but will need to reverse to reverse form with Staywitherjohnny and Half Nutz; first reserve. |

Third runner for yard; 1-23, the win coming on the sand at Laytown (7f); hasn't shown much in his most recent runs over this C&D; may have needed latest after almost a year off but would have liked to see a bit more spark; notable jockey booking but others preferred. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |
11/2 |

1st 1 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Both wins have come over 1m at Dundalk; joined this stable after a below-par run on soft ground in a Tipperary claimer in May; faded on yard debut at Dundalk; this surface should be fine for him, trip may be inadequate. |

8st 10lb |
Last of her four wins was in September 2023; respectable fifth in handicap at Gowran (1m1f, good) in July but she missed the break and was tailed off in a classified event at Ayr last month (1m2f, good); 4lb wrong. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

April's Gowran Park third (9.5f, yielding) is a sole podium finish in her last 18 runs, but she ran to that sort of level again back there last time, reaffirming she can still operate on sounder surfaces also. |
