19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

9st 4lb |
Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |

Last year's Irish Lincolnshire winner has lost way since a Galway premier handicap third last August; beaten 21l in both starts this season and remains 5lb above last winning mark; revival needed. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Irish Lincolnshire (1m, soft) last March before finishing third in this (good to soft) and at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); a market check is advised but he's now been below par on each of his last four runs, having finished down the field in the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance. |
25/1 |

Last year's winner, went very close in the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster only 13 days later; also ran well in the first of two Galway festival starts; mid-division in the Balmoral Handicap before a poor run here at the end of the season; Ryan Moore booked; could repeat 2025 wins; only 6lb higher. |

Irish mare who landed a Curragh handicap in June; has reached the frame in Listed races at Naas (6f, yielding) and Newbury (7f, good to soft) since but needs more to win in this grade. |

19th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |

Irish mare who landed a Curragh handicap in June; seemed to run well in Listed grade on penultimate start but failed to back up that form latest; balance of form leaves her with difficult task. |
16/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Progressive mare won over 7f at Fairyhouse last term and over the same trip at the Curragh on third start this season; not a bad run when fifth in a 7f Group 3 at Leopardstown; had to wait for a gap before staying on for third behind Sky Majesty and Carla Ridge in a C&D Listed race a month ago; winner may again have the upper hand. |

Smart performer in his prime but his last win was in July 2022; generally poor in starts last year and has resumed in similar form in two runs this year; hard to recommend. |

Smart performer in his prime but last win was in July 2022 and he's been out of sorts in last five starts; may have needed his comeback run at Galway last month but this looks tough against Jannas Journey and he's best watched. |
