11th May 2024 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Found a surge of improvement at Dundalk last autumn for Ger Lyons, winning 7f handicap, and after a big-money sale she ran respectably when seventh in Kempton Listed race (1m) last month; not ruled out completely but she needs to improve even on her best AW form now back on turf. |

9st 5lb |
Found a surge of improvement switched to the AW at Dundalk last autumn for Ger Lyons, winning a 7f handicap in October and creating a positive impression in a Listed event at 1m the following month, strong at the finish on her first crack at the trip; sold for 300,000gns in December; could well have more to come for her new connections; interesting despite a penalty. |

Lightly raced 4yo won at Cork last summer and back to form on third turf start this year when battling well after racing close up throughout to lead late over this trip at Down Royal; 4lb higher (additionally 2lb wrong) but may still have improvement in her. |

Shot up 12lb for beating 21 rivals at Cork last summer (7f, yielding); however, has shown that she can cope with this mark and had stamina to prove over 1m last week at the Curragh. |

Multiple winner on the Dundalk AW; outran odds of 80-1 when a 2.5l fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but he did benefit from a good position from stall 1 and he's out in 12 this time; others preferred. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Returned from 181-day absence at Perth (2m, good) in June last year to get off the mark over hurdles with an easy victory off 95 when a well-backed 15-8 favourite; posted a fine third off top weight on the Flat at the Galway festival when last seen; big player but market will be crucial after his absence. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 160y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |
16/1 |
|
5 (8) |
3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Has the ability to win a race of this nature but can flatter to deceive and boasts a strike-rate of just one win from 32 starts; good effort at Wolverhampton six weeks ago but perhaps better on Tapeta nowadays. |
6/1 |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |

Third runner for yard; 1-23, the win coming on the sand at Laytown (7f); hasn't shown much in his most recent runs over this C&D; may have needed latest after almost a year off but would have liked to see a bit more spark; notable jockey booking but others preferred. |
