21st Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected. |

Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 6lb higher in March; well behind Gerrit's Gem at Cork on latest; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival, well-treated if it does. |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

One win and five places from ten Curragh starts; good chance now after second over C&D last month, marking an improvement from a third placing over 6f on seasonal debut; best suited by soft ground. |

Had been running well before a below par effort at the Curragh last time over an inadequate 5f; runner up over C&D last year off 8lb higher; could bounce back. |

8st 7lb |
Three wins here; struck for the first time since 2024 when winning at Navan in June; may have benefitted from track position (only runner-up and himself raced far side), but in fairness, second won lately; missed an engagement here earlier this month and profile suggests layoff not ideal; 3lb wrong, but top 'bug' rides. |

Smart 2yo form but struggled in handicaps last season; back down to a competitive mark of late, finishing well into third after meeting trouble in running at the Curragh; tame effort since at Fairyhouse however and steps up in trip. |

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

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. |

Thed last of his two wins came at Bellewstown in 2023; some decent runs in defeat this year but was poor at Fairyhouse last time and has to rebound. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Three years since last win; running well this term but slow starts are killing him; wide draw not bad thing in that respect, because he can run home down the outer. |

Second reserve; generally reliable sort knows how to win and has been in decent form this term, placing in five of his seven starts; more than capable off this mark but may need softer ground to get his head back in front. |
|
|
3rd 13 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 45y |
9st 9lb |
Has been running well in defeat this term, including a second of 23 over this trip at the Curragh in March; wasn't beaten far when seventh of 21 at Navan 11 days ago (5f); acts on good but best on soft/heavy. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Has a decent record at this track, two wins and three seconds from nine visits; solid form this term except a moderate Curragh run over 7f; place chance now after last Sunday's third at Listowel; acts on good but best on soft or heavy. |

8st 12lb |
Won by 4l last Saturday to complete a Lingfield turf double; raised a whopping 12lb but is still well treated on best form, which includes close second (off 4lb higher) in this contest in 2025; fighting chance. |
14/1 |

1st 1 (6) |
30th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who had a much higher mark this time last year; well backed all day and on course when winning over C&D 12 days ago, and there's every chance he can defy a 3lb rise under Ashley Lewis, who has plenty of experience for his 3lb claim in this company. |

Eight-time winner (placed 20 times) who marked his 100th appearance with a fair sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse recently, one place in front of today's rival Jazzy Dancer; almost two years since his last win; might struggle to record another success in the closing stages of his career. |

7th Mar 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; resurgent of late off much reduced mark, gaining second win from last three starts when running out a decisive scorer over 7f a week ago; up an aggregate of 21lb for those two wins so needs to step up again off highest mark in 18 months; first AW attempt at 1m. |

Rated in the 100's in his prime in Britain; holding his form at a much lower level nowadays, hit with a 10lb rise for C&D success last month and better again when second to a stablemate off this mark since; should be thereabouts. |

31st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Front-runner who ended a long losing run with a dominant display over C&D (good) last month; struggled on his return visit three weeks ago but that was the Bunbury Cup and he remains well treated on his old form; respected on this big drop back in grade. |
6/1 |

12th 14 (8) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |

Has gradually come to hand for new stable and made all, unchallenged, over C&D (good) most recently; 3lb ahead of the assessor under a penalty but another easy lead isn't certain; back up two grades. |
