Eight-time winner including four over C&D, most recently in December off 90; below best in conditions event back at 5f on latest, return to this trip and handicap ranks should suit. |

Eight-time winner including over C&D; scored off 90 in a 6f handicap here on latest in December and is now rated 95; gets the mares' allowance and her rider's 7lb claim brings her right into this on the figures; not discounted. |

Well backed when landing a third C&D win in January; 7f too far here last week, return to this trip to suit but more needed. |

Well-backed when landing a third win here (all at 6f) in January; nearly 3l off stablemate The Liffey in 6f claimer two starts back, most recent handicap run was okay; rare foray over 7f here and could be vulnerable. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Four-time 6f course winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six here four weeks ago; failed to build on that on his most recent visit, though not far behind Sporting Hero in that event. |

Better known for his turf exploits and he's 1-8 on the AW; others preferred after finishing down the field at Navan after a break. |

6th 4 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely. |

Ended a long losing sequence with a course win for this rider over the extended 1m2f nine days ago; 5lb higher and sharply down in trip; possibly vulnerable. |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 1lb |
Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider. |

9st 12lb |
Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |
25/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Has become hard to win with since landing a Group 3 as a 3yo but it was a good run in a deep Ascot handicap last time (5f, good to soft) and returning to further should suit (second in this 12 months ago); solid chance. |

8st 7lb |
Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |
7/1 |

Admirably durable veteran stuck to his task well when recording his 12th AW win last month; 1-27 record on turf strikes a strong cautionary note; 0-6 at this venue in his 87-race career. |

Smart 5f form at two, a winner here and second three times in Listed contests, once here; two runs in stakes company over 6f this year, ran okay at Navan but last of six at Naas; this is his trip and has to be respected on first run in a handicap. |

Six-time AW winner on a good mark and was close up behind Clonmacash on his last visit here, since when he's finished ninth at Naas; like others in here, this place is more his scene. |

9th 4 (9) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |

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. |

Six-time winner here, including two of the last three runnings of this race; beaten under 2l behind Sporting Hero over C&D last month and demands respect off 2lb lower mark than when scoring last year. |

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. |

9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

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). |
20/1 |

8th 8 (11) |
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. |
