Unbeaten in four runs at Sligo, most recently last month (third has won since) at 6.5f; 4lb rise okay but record at this track relatively underwhelming so needs to improve that. |

Unbeaten in three runs at Sligo and going for three-in-a-row in this race, the last two coming from stall 16; Hayes is elsewhere today, but quite the substitute to have in the saddle and his comeback run was fine. |

Dual course winner early in the year for 5lb claimer Ryan Kavanagh, and will be happier back on the AW and down from 7f; would have been better off with all bar one were this a handicap, however. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Won two classified events at Wolverhampton (5f/6f) this year but he's not made an impact in last three runs; this step back up to 7f is no problem but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |
