9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three-time winner including this race last season off 3lb higher; below best in two runs this term, including in race he won last year at the Curragh on his latest start; capable off this mark but needs to rediscover best. |
16/1 |

28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Won this last year off 83 and followed up at Leopardstown (1m1f, gd-fm) off 88; no joy in Bahrain in the winter; soft ground not ideal on seasonal reappearance at Leopardstown and is on last winning mark now, so can't discount. |

Multiple turf/AW winner including over C&D; ran respectably returned to Bahrain in January but soundly beaten there twice since; prefers a quicker surface than what's forecast which is a concern. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 0lb |
3-40 overall; usually thereabouts on turf/AW, including this year, but latest start was an exception and he needs to bounce back from that Ripon run. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 3 |
9st 8lb |
Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago. |

7th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 70y Class 3 |

Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win five weeks ago; one concern is that he was below form last September on his only run at this track. |

23rd Nov 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Scored twice in France but failed to score in Ireland, albeit showed useful form on occasions; unlikely to defy top weight, having failed to figure at Kempton (2m; last of eight) on debut for Jamie Osborne. |
25/1 |
|
8th 2 (8) |
8th Nov 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Dual 2yo AW winner in France, but 0-8 for Joseph O'Brien and makes his debut for another new yard having changed hands for 13,000gns last month; only previous attempt over this far when in midfield in last year's Irish Cesarewitch and may be best watched for now. |
12/1 |

5th 2 (4) |
20th Oct 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 6lb |
Dual 2yo AW winner in France ran well in defeat at times for this yard last year up to 1m4f; respectable return in a C&D Listed race when 4l behind stablemate San Andreas; can improve from that. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
8st 11lb |
Just one placed effort from eight starts last season; tailed off at the Curragh on his return and down the field at Roscommon two months ago; not a big price on the second occasion, so perhaps capable of better. |

Has won twice at 7f, on the sand at Laytown and on good to firm in a Gowran claimer but he has run okay on soft before; soundly beaten when last seen here in October (6f, sft-hvy); probably best watched. |

Gowran maiden winner last year was third in a Listed race to start the season, only beaten roughly 3l by Paddington; however, has been below that in three starts since, so needs that best again; tongue-tie on. |

23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Course regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m here this year; always behind in valuable 1m2f Lingfield contest at Easter; solid claims back at his favoured venue. |

Dundalk regular (8-35) who is now at the veteran stage; no faulting his two runner-up efforts over 1m4f/2m this year, but he may be vulnerable to younger legs back down in trip. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 10lb |
Won her ninth race when winning over 1m4f at Tramore in July; below that form behind Mo Ghille Mar here and over 2m back at Tramore since; has worn different headgear before but first time with a visor today. |

16th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Was recording a ninth career win when making all for decisive success here over 1m4f last month (good); capitulated tamely however at Down Royal 10 days later so needs to bounce back and unproven over this far. |

6th 1 (5) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Was recording a ninth career win when making all for decisive success at Tramore 10 days ago (1m4f, good); 4lb rise returns her to a career-high mark and this stiffer stamina test could stretch her. |
