15th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 68y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark. |

30th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached. |

3-47 with his wins coming over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack in Ireland; has made a low-key start for this yard and needs to improve for the fitting of cheekpieces. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner (three on turf) including twice here last season over 7f on good and soft ground; is now just 1lb above the latest of those victories and 1m fine but needs to leave this term's poor form behind. |
28/1 |

Won twice last season, both at this venue (7f, good to soft) including on this card; remains 5lb above her last win and her first two runs of the season offered little, but the yard had two winners at Roscommon on Monday so watch the betting. |

Of interest on her best form for Jim Bolger but she's finished well beaten in two starts for new connections this spring; lots to prove for now. |

27-race maiden but was only beaten a neck in a soft ground 1m handicap at Gowran in June; hasn't kicked on since and may need a bit further than 7f these days. |

Maiden after 26 starts was well beaten over further here last time; however, was runner-up over C&D in June so has to get back to that form. |

8th Sep 2023 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Never a threat in his maidens (5f-7.5f) but consequently goes handicapping off a low mark and cheekpieces could bring something to the party. |

Didn't jump with fluency when running no race in sole hurdles start at Punchestown in 2024 for Noel Meade; bagged a Flat win at Clonmel in September off 48 (1m2f, soft); moderate form in three Flat starts since. |

Ground versatile sort won at Clonmel on penultimate (9.5f, soft); came up short off revised mark at Gowran latest; stamina to prove for this trip and may be on a tough mark. |
