Last win was in October 2022 over 1m4f at this track; has run well since but has been quiet in two handicaps for this yard when soft ground was no excuse. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 10lb |
Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form. |
10/1 |
|
7th 12 |
29th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |
14/1 |

Irish challenger who could be in the picture judged on his good form at Killarney last summer, and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts and has to get back on track. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Second runner for yard; three-time Flat winner was second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since but despite being very weak in the betting, ran a lovely second at Dundalk in February (ahead of Dallas Star); entitled to improve but unproven on soft. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time Flat winner (including 2m course handicap); second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since, failing to land the odds in 1m7f conditions race at Leopardstown last summer and beaten out of sight on hurdle debut at Thurles this month; the one to beat if at his best. |

Dual Flat winner was in good form at Dundalk last year, winning 1m4f handicap and touched off by Irish Cesarewitch winner Magellan Strait in 2m conditions race; never sighted on comeback run at the Curragh last month, more expected of here. |
16/1 |

Dual Flat winner was in good form at Dundalk over the winter, winning a 1m4f handicap and touched off by Irish Cesarewitch winner Magellan Strait in a 2m conditions race; off since February; each-way chance at his best but this is highly competitive. |

Not the most consistent on the Flat but useful on her day and three wins to her name, including over 1m4f at 2024 Galway festival; hurdling debut and has been off since November. |

Similar mark off which she won over 1m4f at Galway over a year ago but struggling to recapture that level of form, with last two runs very disappointing; this only her second run on the AW. |

Four-time winner here including handicap over this trip on this card last year off 67; joined yard after second in C&D claimer in March but yet to run anywhere near his rating on turf, latest in Roscommon claimer; should appreciate return to AW. |
5/1 |

Came on from his debut when narrowly denied in a Tipperary maiden in April; two solid runs in maidens since, including when dropped back to extended 1m2f here latest; return to further likely to help and his opening mark seems fair. |

Effective in blinkers but surprising to see them back on after returning to form in new cheekpieces at Cork where she was third in a 1m4f Group 3; probably needs further now and was staying on when fourth in this race 12 months ago. |
12/1 |

3rd 1 (9) |
14th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure. |

Steady improver last year, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh up to this trip; career-best on return when runner-up to Bubble Gum in a Listed race over C&D but was then disappointing over 1m6f at Gowran (keen); needs more. |
