13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Listed winner last season for Jack Davison; below best in light campaign this term until more encouraging effort on yard debut eight days ago in this headgear combination, staying on into third (well behind front two) over 5f at Navan; more needed here in a much deeper race. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
C&D winner; very useful on his day and has won at Group 3 and Listed level; below best in three runs this term and sold for 35,000gns last month; tongue tie goes on for stable debut and on a dangerous mark if that sparks a revival. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 5lb |
Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

9st 8lb |
Hard to win with, as illustrated by 2-41 record; won 5f Dundalk handicap off 73 in December 2024; now down to 52, having been regressive since second in a claimer last summer; needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Shot up the ratings after a pair of emphatic AW victories in March/April; has failed to transfer that improvement to turf in two outings at Navan; down 6lb again now from high of 84. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Shot up the ratings after pair of easy AW victories in March/April; wasn't able to transfer that improvement to turf when well held over C&D last month, nearly 4l behind Mehman; faster ground may help; blinkers worn in last four starts left off. |

Rapidly progressive filly on AW, most recently winning easily at Wolverhampton; has shot up the ratings and and it will be interesting to see if she can transfer that form to turf. |

19th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Irish raider with nine wins on his CV (four gained on Polytrack); comes here after three good efforts in big-field turf handicaps last month (5f-6f) and ought to make his presence felt. |

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount. |

Four wins here; plenty of placed form here in headgear early in the year and running okay on turf lately; good draw and unlikely to be too far away. |

Four-time AW sprint winner is 1-24 on turf; ran well at Bellewstown and Naas earlier this season but below best of late over 7f; back in trip with a bit to prove. |
