Five-time C&D winner, the latest coming in September 2023 off 75; thrown in here on that form but he has lost his way this year; is 5lb wrong here and hard to fancy on recent showings. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 8lb |
Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |
7/1 |

Six-time AW winner; was close up in third behind Clonmacash at Dundalk in April; second there on latest, reversing form with Clonmacash in the process; has the merit of being a C&D winner; definite chance for 10lb claimer who has made the frame in three of the five Irish races she has ridden in. |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

Won a Chester handicap on heavy ground in September 2024 but mainly below form since (finished last of seven over C&D last week); well handicapped but has plenty to prove. |

23rd Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Mudlark won at Cork in the spring and over extended 5f in Navan handicap in July; bit to find on recent C&D run and draw a likely negative. |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
8yo who capitalised on a reduced mark to win over C&D (good) last month before 7l second to easy winner in amateur jockeys' race at Pontefract (1m2f, good); he's not ruled out back here. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (6) |
29th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Prevailed narrowly at Ripon (1m2f, good) last time, recording first win since 2024; no spring chicken, being an 8yo, but he's technically still unexposed over this trip and remains well treated on historical data; should remain competitive. |
5/1 |

1st 4 (3) |
18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
No win since August 2024, and he's yet to score beyond 7.5f, with a Flat record of 0-5 at 8.5f plus; this easing mark is helpful though, and he wasn't too far behind the reopposing King Of Fury at Carlisle (1m1f, soft; 6-1) ten days ago; stablemate of the veteran Poets Dawn. |
