1st 8 (7) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won off 9lb lower at Navan last year; had been struggling off revised mark but step in right direction when an unlucky fourth at Naas (1m3f, good) 13 days ago; Colin Keane returns (on board for both previous wins); enters calculations. |
9/2 |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 194y |
9st 6lb |
Won by 5l at Navan last autumn and basically struggled off higher marks since; been hurdling lately and needs more off this mark. |

3rd 4 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner, rated 62; ran well when beaten 23l into tenth by Gomez Addams on hurdles bow at Listowel seven days ago; jumping needs to improve and he has a future in this discipline, but probably in handicaps. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 145y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner with a win apiece on AW and turf for Heather Main; didn't show a lot in his sole hurdles start at Newbury in January last year when none too fluent in the jumping department; off since April last year and now making stable debut. |
25/1 |
|
9th 5 (11) |
21st Apr 2024 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Two 1m4f Flat wins, latterly in clearcut style from the front at Newbury (soft) last July; two backward steps on AW late in the year and his hurdling debut in January wasn't great, but he needs a second look. |

1st 7 (9) |
4th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Went down by a head when sent off odds-on for a 1m3f novice here in December on his only previous visit, but twice held back in handicaps since and now 0-13; others preferred. |

7th 3 (3) |
7th Jan 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
12-race maiden but he has finished second three times, including at this track; he wasn't at his very best at Wolverhampton last month but a revival wouldn't be a huge surprise. |

prominent, led over 8f out, headed but chased leader 6f out, ridden over 2f out, hung left and outpaced over 1f out, kept on final 110yds |

Verdict
This looks a bit trappy but the vote goes to WARD CASTLE, who has leading claims on his best form including a near miss here last autumn and a creditable third in a 1m4f Newmarket handicap on his penultimate run. Greenscape is the main danger, though Stonking has a striking pedigree and needs watching in the market on his debut.[David Moon]
