Four-time C&D winner, has struggled to find his best form since second here in November; third in a six-runner contest three starts ago. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time 6f course winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six here four weeks ago; failed to build on that on his most recent visit, though not far behind Sporting Hero in that event. |

Four-time C&D winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six 12 days ago; down another 2lb and should be in the mix with useful claimer taking off 5lb. |

8st 7lb |
Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |

Admirably durable veteran stuck to his task well when recording his 12th AW win last month; 1-27 record on turf strikes a strong cautionary note; 0-6 at this venue in his 87-race career. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No significant impact in his three runs for this yard, although he wasn't beaten far on second occasion; attractively weighted on lots of Irish AW form, so needs a close look; market reference recommended. |
7/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always behind on last month's stable debut (5f) but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; needs to make further progress here but should be fine over this trip and is attractively weighted on best Irish form; market reference recommended. |

Sole win in 25 starts came when he beat Keke over C&D last year; couple of excuses this term (raced on wrong side at Naas last time) and has inched back down to winning mark; blinkers replace visor. |

9th 4 (11) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to his name, but has been second three times in five runs here; drops in grade after contesting premier handicaps at the Curragh (excuse two runs back) this season; drawn widest which is probably a slight negative, but it's all on the day as to which side they go at Naas; only 1lb higher than his winning mark. |

Turf/Polytrack winner for David Marnane in Ireland, but refused the race in both intended starts last year and virtually did so on stable debut here (7f) in March; extremely risky. |

Seven-time winner but hasn't scored since May 2024 and has been off since running well to finish third in a Ballinrobe claimer in July last year; record when fresh suggests he might need this. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas; a long way below his best at Leopardstown on latest. |

Back-to-back wins on good ground over 5f at Navan and Down Royal in summer of 2024; not been close to that form over last two years and continues to slide in the weights. |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running. |
