10st 2lb |
Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this. |

Consistent on the Flat late last year but never a factor at Roscommon 12 days ago; well beaten in three maiden hurdles; market will reveal expectations on first handicap in this sphere. |

Was disqualified after winning a Sligo handicap before running well in defeat in stronger handicaps at Cork and Curragh over this trip; should be a big player back to maiden company. |

Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

Bounced back from a lesser effort when third of eight here last month and built on that to record his first success for this stable over C&D nine days ago; lively contender under a 5lb penalty. |

Won on debut at Gowran (9.5f, soft) in April; hasn't threatened in Leopardstown Group 3 (1m2f, soft to heavy) or Goodwood Listed race (1m3f, good) but displayed staying potential at Goodwood and is not ruled out now up in trip on handicap/stable debut, having changed hands and left Johnny Murtagh. |

Won this last year by 12l off a mark of 95, beating Targa Flavio and also scored on the Flat here in June; poor Flat run since but likely to be ripe for his double bid and a big player even off 12lb higher. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 7f/1m but he was placed twice over 5f in Bahrain during the winter; met trouble when second favourite at Chester (extended 7f) on his return to Britain 17 days ago; harder to pin down than some of these and certainly not discounted. |
12/1 |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over 7f and 1m so it arguably bodes well for his prospects here that he's performed well over sprint trips in Bahrain this year; very good second in this race (good ground) last year from an outside stall and this front-runner has fared a lot better with the draw this time; top of the list. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (2) |
25th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 3y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Front-runner who has won three times this year and latest was over C&D in June; couldn't hang in there at Galway (sixth of 15) last time but that was a respectable effort from a tough draw and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous dropped back in grade. |

Dual-purpose; the best of these over hurdles (rated 143); no impact on first three starts for this yard in hot handicap hurdles; well beaten on sole previous chase start at Cork when with Gavin Cromwell but this much easier; wouldn't want it too soft. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Two wins apiece on the Flat and over hurdles during his time with Gavin Cromwell but well beaten in a big-field handicap on the Flat and over hurdles (behind a few of these at Dublin Racing Festival) since joining current yard; the refitting of blinkers needs to help spark a revival. |

10st 11lb |
2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again. |

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play. |

Verdict
Very little to go on here. PARTISAN HERO, once-raced as a juvenile, has a good pedigree and gets a tentative vote. Free Flow shaped quite well on his debut at Dundalk and could go close if he handles the ground. Parish Star also hinted at promise first time out. Newcomers Carlo Bianconi, Goldenstatewarrior and Youcrackmeup are worth a market check. [Alan Sweetman]
