Useful sprint handicapper on turf; sprung a 66-1 shock when beating Powerful National in a 5f Group 3 race at Dundalk last October; no sign of anything remotely comparable in four runs since February. |

Three turf wins including over C&D last September and biggest win came following month in Dundalk Group 3; yet to hit that sort of form in three starts this year in Listed contests; back in handicap company now. |

Started off the season by causing a 100-1 shock in a Curragh premier handicap and ran well at the same venue next time; substandard effort in the Scurry last time and needs to bounce back. |

Won twice on testing ground for Michael O'Callaghan last year; 100-1 when a rallying winner of a premier handicap here last month on his stable debut having been gelded with a few of these behind him; up 6lb for that and should be a leading contender once more. |

Three turf wins include one over C&D (yielding) off 5lb lower; sole win last year at Cork (5f, gd-yld) and was beaten just 0.5l off the same mark at Naas on latest (5f, good); raised 3lb for that and this is a deeper race. |

9st 7lb |
Hardy veteran has won fourteen races on turf, all on good and good to firm ground, but handles an ease; is 15lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh last year and didn't run badly at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; could go well. |

Likeable veteran won for the fourteenth time at Musselburgh (5f, good) last April and is 13lb lower now; showed some spark when a 2l fourth at Dundalk on penultimate and was third over this C&D (soft) off 5lb higher in October; can't discount. |

Attractive handicap mark, but veteran's 14 wins have come on turf; 0-11 on AW but his 2l fourth over 6f here last time is a reason for hope, as is the drop back to 5f now. |

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. |

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 |

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). |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

Both wins from the front over C&D, her local track, most recently last October off 72; quiet season so far (out of depth on first run) but sure to have been primed for her return to this track and Keane back on. |

Can be a threat when he gets his own way up front as seen at Naas last month and gave it another good go over extended 6f here behind Saturn Seven 24 days ago; up 2lb but there's not a lot of pace in this and he's one for the shortlist. |

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. |
