11th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 180y |
9st 6lb |
Sole win from 31 starts came here nearly two years ago (5f, good) off today's mark; seasonal-best when good staying on second of 20 at the Curragh last month (6.5f, yielding), didn't count from wide draw at Leopardstown latest; McMonagle back aboard and can't rule out. |

18th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 45y |
9st 8lb |
Only one win from 30 starts (5f); went close on occasions last year; far too keen on seasonal return at Roscommon last month but much-improved second of 20 at Cork 15 days ago (6.5f, yielding), best work at the finish; in the mix. |

8st 13lb |
Three wins in 2026, the first two over C&D; another career-best display when scoring at Ayr last month and her two defeats since were in Class 3 and 4 company; considered. |

5th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 9lb |
Resurgent mare who has collected three wins this year, two on Newcastle AW and the latest at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; they were Class 6 races, though, and she was soundly beaten when recently upped to Class 3. |
8/1 |

11th 15 (7) |
17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
8st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who's won three this year, proving at Ayr last time that she can do it on turf as well as Tapeta; upped another 5lb, though, and this is the first time she's run in higher than 0-65 company; not ruled out but she'll find this opposition tougher. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Seven wins (incl' at this track) between turf and AW over 5f-6f for former yard; not a bad stable debut at Fairyhouse last time and can be in the mix with some improvement. |

C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |

8th 11 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a Fairyhouse claimer (6f, good) last time, beating some much higher rated rivals; only other win came over C&D; up 19lb for her latest win which dampens enthusiasm. |
