20th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 3f 175y |
9st 11lb |
Gained sixth win of his career at Bellewstown on penultimate (12.5f, soft); beaten off revised mark off 77 latest but he'll relish testing conditions if the rain comes and he's gone well here before. |
7/1 |

9st 11lb |
C&D winner in May (good) and went in again at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) 12 days ago when merely pushed out for a 5l verdict; the 8lb rise asks a question but should give it his best shot. |

1m4f winner at Roscommon in May and respectable efforts the last twice, especially last time when 1m1f would have been sharp enough; rain welcomed. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 173y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Modest 2-26 strike-rate and refused to race once in the autumn; however, he's often run well in competitive races, as when third of 19 at York (1m, good) last July and was hampered next time; creditable return for new yard at Redcar (first-time hood, cheekpieces now refitted) this month; involved. |
14/1 |
|
6th 6 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Successful twice (1m2f/1m) in Ireland earlier in his career; talented but failed to win in 14 starts for Iain Jardine, including refusing to race on his penultimate outing last year; it's possible a change of stable (same owner) could spark a revival but a watching brief is still the percentage call here; hooded first time. |
22/1 |
|
16th 9 (11) |
11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
2-24 with both wins coming for Ger Lyons in Ireland (1m/1m2f); finished a close third of 19 behind Billyb here (1m, good) in July, but he refused to race at Ayr three weeks ago and has enough to prove after that. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 0lb |
2024 Chesterfield Cup winner for Johnny Murtagh; failed to find his best form last season, including a spell in Britain; beaten favourite here behind the useful Genoah in two starts for this stable (handicap and a rated race); has run well enough in defeat both times, and is attractively treated on his old form. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Made late gains after an awkward start when 2l behind Genoah on stable debut over 10.5f here latest; ran well sole try over this trip in the 2024 Cork Derby so could turn that form around; big chance. |
100/30 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Won off 5lb higher at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July for Johnny Murtagh but failed to hit the same heights subsequently for that yard and he's struggled to get competitive on his two runs for this stable. |

13th Sep 2023 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Fair form in maidens before much improved on handicap debut at the Curragh (1m2f) last month, seeing it out well despite racing keenly (second and fourth have won since); up 7lb but quite likely has more to offer. |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

Well beaten in six Flat starts for Henry De Bromhead who presumably declined the opportunity to keep him for jumping; was sold on for just 5,000gns. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Showed some ability in maidens but was soundly beaten on handicap debut at Down Royal; the blinkers and tongue-tie worn then are dispensed with; down 3lb but needs more. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Has kept good company over hurdles since his last Flat run almost a year ago; that was in the Group 2 Curragh Cup; this is more realistic but he has plenty of weight. |
16/1 |

7th 2 |
2nd May 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Has outrun his odds in graded company on a couple of occasions including this meeting last year when 3l behind Kargese; however, well held in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse last month and this is even tougher. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly here over 1m1f on quick ground; keen and never involved from a wide draw behind Dunum at Galway on latest; drop back to 7f may not suit. |

29th Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 6lb |
Has progressed really well since joining this yard this term, recording back-to-back premier handicap wins of late, at the Curragh and when hitting the line strongly over 1m1f at Leopardstown 19 days ago; strong stayer at this trip so a truly-run race will suit and favourable ground conditions persist. |
5/1 |

1st 9 (7) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Winner of a premier handicap at the Curragh last time (1m, good); had a number of today's rivals behind him on that occasion; consistent runs prior to his recent win; up 5lb and a number of those in behind him didn't get a clear run that day so he could be vulnerable. |
11/2 |
Verdict
Given a little break after a busy early-season schedule, Duke Of Leggagh has a solid chance but MR KING (nap) is relatively unexposed and can back up a Roscommon win by upholding form with third-placed Eastern Legend, a beaten favourite since. [Alan Sweetman]
