6th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Irish challenger who is a six-time AW scorer; 0-30 on turf but has some respectable form this term; fighting chance at the weights in this first classified attempt. |
9/2 |

19th Jun 2025 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Six AW wins; yet to score on turf after 29 starts; third in four of his last six races; not the most consistent, but possible he can pick up one of these at some stage. |

Six-time AW winner yet to score on turf after 28 starts although Naas third in April would give him a definite shout here (upset in stalls both starts since). |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |
7/1 |
|
6th 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |
9/2 |
|
4th 4 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |

Some promising efforts towards the end of last term shortly after joining this yard but poor form so far this season; best form on AW and best turf effort came on good. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
9st 7lb |
Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |
8/1 |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |

A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Dual 1m course winner added her eighth rules win when bagging a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; recent handicap runs here at big prices leave a bit to be desired; cheekpieces. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-5 over hurdles; far from disgraced on debut for this yard at Wexford 11 days ago (2m1f, good); most of best form is on soft ground, however, so could probably do with some rain. |
