28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |

Eight career wins include twice here at 1m4f; probably needed recent Roscommon comeback run, more expected of here with ground in his favour. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
8st 12lb |
Front-runner loves it here; won this last year and caught late when second over C&D in August; lack of a prep run is the concern, because his record fresh is not good. |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 10lb |
Bagged eighth career win at Roscommon in May (1m4f, good); back down to winning mark when a neck second back at that track on his penultimate run; underwhelming at Galway most recently when well behind (1m4f, soft); three of his wins have come at this distance but he may not appreciate the ground. |

9st 9lb |
Belatedly opened his Flat turf account in similar event over C&D (good) last week, taking Bath record to 42321 and adding to his AW/hurdles wins; incurs 4lb penalty but defied this mark a couple of years ago; very solid chance. |

Landed some tidy bets when taking this in 2024 but subsequently went on a barren spell; finally back on the scoresheet last month but disappointed in a classified (also C&D) one week later; had an excuse that day but others look more solid. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. |
15/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat. |

Won over C&D last summer off 59 and pick of three runs this year when good third at the Curragh, having raced keenly and hanging right under 7lb claimer; not the best of breaks on Wolverhampton AW latest but fair effort; 2lb wrong here but rider's claim negates that. |

Fifth career win came over C&D in May (good) and somewhat mixed form since, standout run when just denied over 2m1f at Clonmel last month (Bottler'secret 3L away third); heavy ground could have been too testing at Listowel last time so remains of interest back on better ground. |

Plenty went wrong on handicap debut (1m2f AW) and didn't run badly as a consequence; however, was again slowly away back at Dundalk (1m) the last time and the hood tried then is now dispensed with; risky for now. |

Is 0-4 on the Flat, divided between turf and AW (tailed off in sole handicap over 1m4f at Dundalk); did make the frame in a maiden hurdle here in February (tailed off in latest hurdle) and all things considered he has a lot to prove; blinkers are new. |
