Last year's Irish Lincolnshire winner has lost way since a Galway premier handicap third last August; beaten 21l in both starts this season and remains 5lb above last winning mark; revival needed. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Won the Irish Lincolnshire (1m, soft) last March before finishing third in this (good to soft) and at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding); a market check is advised but he's now been below par on each of his last four runs, having finished down the field in the Irish Lincolnshire on his reappearance. |

Last year's winner, went very close in the William Hill Lincoln at Doncaster only 13 days later; also ran well in the first of two Galway festival starts; mid-division in the Balmoral Handicap before a poor run here at the end of the season; Ryan Moore booked; could repeat 2025 wins; only 6lb higher. |

Dual-purpose; 5-55 on turf on the Flat but on losing run since scoring at Leopardstown (1m4f, heavy) in October 2024; is now 17lb below that win and she shaped promisingly over an inadequate 1m here 13 days ago in a first-time tongue tie (retained); could go well back up in trip. |

Took advantage of an easing mark to make a winning seasonal reappearance at Southwell (1m; 14-1, first start since wind surgery) in late April; non-runner at Thirsk (ground) on Sunday, and this looks a better fit; likely to have a say from 4lb higher. |
