20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
Exposed mare who is 6-45 on turf; beaten in claimers on final two runs in Ireland in May and was well held in an Epsom handicap (6f, good; 33-1) on recent stable debut; has something to prove and all of her wins have been over further. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Exposed mare who was 6-44 on turf in Ireland; beaten in claimers on her two starts last month (7f and 1m, turf/AW) so it will be interesting to see how she goes in the market on this first stab at 6f since her only attempt over three years ago; stable debut. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Eight wins, two of them here; latest success was over 7f at Naas in March and ran well in big-field contest at the Curragh next time; disappointed when odds-on for Gowran claimer last week, but picked up a few grazes and she's better than that. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Has gradually come to hand for new stable and made all, unchallenged, over C&D (good) most recently; 3lb ahead of the assessor under a penalty but another easy lead isn't certain; back up two grades. |
25/1 |

1st 4 (2) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Only ever won twice and been dry in almost two years; back in form last time, from the front (given no peace) without the usual hood and that gave something to build on off the same mark; goes on the shortlist. |
4/1 |

Has rejoined Micky Fenton and not seen to ideal effect under an aggressive ride when third of seven in 7f Yarmouth handicap 17 days ago; can make his presence felt off a 2lb lower mark here. |

15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Navan winner last summer (1m) but form this year so far poor, stone last on both recent outings; hard to be confident in and wide draw a negative. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |

Second reserve; Navan winner last summer but towards rear on all three runs this term; handicapper relenting but remains opposable. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Three wins at shorter trips, including 1m Navan success last summer off 80; two runs over same trip in May leave him with lots to find although senior rider now takes over from inexperienced claimer. |

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. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 1lb |
Five wins for Joe Murphy, latest of them over 1m1f at Tipperary in October; big prices and has shown little in four starts for this yard; mark tumbling, but prefers it soft and will be of more interest when the rain returns. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; yet to find his form for this stable; reduced rating now (4lb below his last winning mark) but needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition again. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 163y |

Two 2023 wins on AW; excellent second on good ground at Navan last time; does not need to improve much to win a turf handicap but the prospect of testing ground is a concern. |

Seven wins on AW and was in good heart at Dundalk over the winter but 0-33 on turf and best watched after a layoff. |

13th 7 (7) |
29th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Irish 9yo who is a multiple winner at Dundalk and is currently in a consistent vein of form; retains plenty of ability but has failed to cut the mustard in three previous Good Friday attempts (all here). |
25/1 |

2nd 2 (6) |
8th Mar 2024 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

soon led at slow pace, increased tempo when switched right from 2f out, ridden when headed towards near side inside final furlong, kept on but no match for winner |
