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 |

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. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 135y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Gained his first win on turf when landing a handicap at Bath (1m, good) this month and followed up there over 1m2f (firm; made all) six days ago; holds good claims dropping back in trip under a 4lb penalty but any rain probably won't be ideal. |

Record is only 2-52 but he gained the latest success in comfortable fashion at Bath (1m, good) last week and warrants respect under 4lb penalty; recorded the other win over 1m2f (on AW). |

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. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
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. |
11/2 |
|
1st 1 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

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. |

29th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Plenty of AW form and won a 1m2f Navan handicap in April on penultimate Flat run; quiet over hurdles the last twice but wouldn't read much into that. |

Runner-up at Leopardstown in the spring and returned from a break to score at first attempt for new yard, coming from well back over this trip at Bellewstown last month; 7lb rise but could have more to offer and wide draw may not be such a negative under hold-up tactics. |
