30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
22/1 |

16th 9 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-24 with both wins coming for Ger Lyons in Ireland (1m/1m2f); finished a close third of 19 behind Billyb here (1m, good) in July, but he refused to race at Ayr three weeks ago and has enough to prove after that. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Three-time AW winner, whose sole turf win came over 7f at Leopardstown; absent since November but ran well on seasonal return when third in this race last year (to Moltophino) off today's mark; 7lb claim could prove useful. |
16/1 |

31st Oct 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Two-time course winner at 1m; weakened over 7f here on latest and hasn't been beaten far on last two starts at 6f (including a 2.25l fifth at Wolverhampton in July off 4lb higher); not dismissed. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern. |
12/1 |
|
1st 1 (4) |
26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Most recent win came in this race last year from a 1lb higher mark (1m, good); has worn a hood on his last two starts, which has resulted in a pair of seconds at 7f/1m; chance returned to the scene of his win wearing the hood. |

Maiden has run well several times over various trips, including at this track; didn't stay 2m2f at Down Royal but was tailed-off over 1m4f at Bellewstown last time; chance if bouncing back. |

Course specialist won on successive days at last September's festival (7f/1m on heavy); well beaten on return; opposable at present. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Seven-time winner at 7f/1m, last three wins coming at Listowel on soft/heavy; has tended to need his comeback run so probably best watched here on ground on the quick side. |
16/1 |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 205y |

Third reserve; roared back to top form on heavy ground at Listowel last week, winning over 1m then following up over 7f under a 7lb penalty; career high mark of 82 may scupper hat-trick bid. |

First reserve; winner off 95 for Ado McGuinness and has run well here more than once; coming down the handicap but has lost his way for now. |

7th 3 (6) |
17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 0f 40y |
10st 2lb |
Eight-time winner; captured a Listowel festival handicap last autumn off 85; glimpses of form this year while coming down the handicap; hard to be confident after a disappointing handicap run on stable debut at Naas. |
