13th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Irish filly who has shown steady improvement; beat Alabama by half a length in Curragh Listed event (5f, good) last time out, following up her nursery success; may rate higher still; one to consider. |

Progressive form; short-headed by Storm Miami in a Naas maiden before narrowly landing a Cork nursery; all of her best form is on good ground though and the forecast rain would be a worry. |

9st 8lb |
Smart 5f form at two, a winner here and second three times in Listed contests, once here; two runs in stakes company over 6f this year, ran okay at Navan but last of six at Naas; this is his trip and has to be respected on first run in a handicap. |

Dual winner (5f-6.5f) was 3rd in a Curragh Listed (1/2l behind Alabama) before a lesser Fairyhouse run; could get involved if rebounding. |

18th Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 0m 6f 0y |

RPRs 88 in 5f contests in August, ground-versatile; stays this trip but she has to be rated vulnerable. |

3rd 9 (5) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Two wins from five starts and produced a career best to win a 5f conditions race at Naas two weeks ago; handles any ground and well worth a try in a stakes race at this trip. |

Touched off Asean in a Naas maiden before just failing to get up in a Listed at the same venue last month; still more to come from her and has a very solid chance here; handles any ground. |

11th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Early promise for this yard but he's been struggling for form this winter; tackles 7f for the first time; stable may have stronger claims with Straight A. |

Rated considerably higher this time 12 months ago but he's down in the weights as a result of some modest runs since March; returning to 6f not enough to tempt this time. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he returned to form when second of six at Bath (5f, good) recently; however, he may prove vulnerable in this hotter contest. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 3 (2) |
4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form in the second half of 2025, winning three 5f handicaps (Tapeta twice and good to soft); last month's return to action at Newmarket should have sharpened him up but ground this lively will be a first. |
12/1 |
|
5th 4 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Below best in Ireland in the first half of 2025 but in good heart for this trainer in the autumn, winning three over 5f on AW and turf; has inevitably gone back up the weights but he ran an excellent second, despite some interference, when runner-up in the 3yo Dash at Epsom in 2024 off this mark and that was strong 5f form; respected. |

13th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Tipperary (5f Listed) in July, beating Alabama, but has failed to repeat that form; chance partly depends on whether he's revitalised by new headgear. |
25/1 |
|
5th 2 (5) |
6th Oct 2023 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Beat Alabama a neck in a Tipperary listed in July (second win at that track) but has been below that twice since and is unlikely to confirm form with that rival giving 3lb. |
10/1 |
|
7th 1 (7) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Tipperary maiden winner in April repeated the dose when edging out Alabama in a Listed contest there early last month; found the test of the Super Sprint at Newbury beyond him last time but likely to fare better back in slightly calmer waters. |

Won a C&D maiden in April but didn't go on afterwards and has been held in stronger company since; tongue-tie tried. |

8th 7 (3) |
20th Aug 2023 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Quite green when winning a maiden at Dundalk in April; has not progressed in two runs since and others look more likely here. |

16th Aug 2024 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 4 |
9st 5lb |
She hasn't matched her peak Irish 2yo form in five runs for her new stable this year; last week's Newmarket third will need bettering if she's to feature but the addition of cheekpieces might help. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 (3) |
9th Aug 2024 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
A 5f winner in Ireland last September but hasn't offered a great deal in four handicaps for new yard this season and this is a belated first run at 7f. |
12/1 |
|
12th 7 (13) |
22nd Jul 2024 Good 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Justified favouritism in a Down Royal maiden (5f, good) last September but she's been well held in three handicaps for new yard this season and is now 1-10; down the list. |
25/1 |
