13-race maiden; ran well off an 8lb higher mark on her stable debut in January (1m, AW) but she has been disappointing since, including back on turf latest; others look stronger. |

Added a second AW win at Dundalk in March (1m); 0-13 on turf but ran some decent races in defeat in 2024 and competed effectively off this mark when third of 13 over 1m at Limerick last month. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |

Competitive in 1m2f handicaps on last three outings and came from off the pace to win by a nose at Yarmouth (good) on latest, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and has each-way chance. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |

2nd 5 (5) |

Six-race maiden; beaten around 4l when fourth behind Beauld As Brass at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago but she ran well for a long way and has a big swing in the weights with her old rival here; could pose a serious threat if she backs up that last run. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |

C&D winner last year; solid form at 1m this season and won impressively at Limerick (1m, good) on latest off 8lb lower; drawn wide but that shouldn't be an issue given his run style; career high mark but there could be more to come. |

9st 5lb |
Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |

Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; two moderate runs this term, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second, before returning to form with a winning display at Roscommon a fortnight ago; made all over the extended 7f then, this trip is within her range; 5lb extra does not seem harsh. |

Very reliable in the first half of last season, notching two wins at this venue and three places elsewhere between May and July; wins were over 1m4f and 1m5f, and this trip is shorter than ideal for her seasonal debut. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who has maintained his consistency in two starts for new stable, creditable fourth at Musselburgh (1m) latest; still has a modest strike-rate but is likely to give his running and again holds frame possibilities. |

Just two wins from his 33 starts (both over 1m last spring on good/yielding) but he was highly consistent last year and ran another big race when going close on last month's stable debut at Newcastle (1m, AW); every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
