25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Returned to form and rewarded heavy market support at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last month, his fifth start for Dan Skelton; just a respectable sixth under penalty in the Red Rum at Aintree (2m, good to soft) nine days later and his mark is another 5lb higher here, but he remains very much of interest. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Well-backed, even-money favourite at Bangor (2m4f) last Tuesday, when reverting to good ground in a reapplied tongue-tie and returning to form with a convincing win; 9lb higher in a much hotter race today but not ruled out for his top yard on the back of that stylish success. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Maiden chaser and with an overall strike-rate of 2-32; he hasn't got anything going over fences for current yard but he's dropped sharply in the weights and getting back on good ground can only help; would be interesting if the market offered encouragement. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 4y |
9st 11lb |
Seven wins on the Flat, also a winning hurdler; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for a third time last month; has chased home the smart Purview on two occasions at this venue this season; got closer over 1m2f three weeks ago, than in a 1m4f event in May. |
10/1 |

2nd 5 (1) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time winner on the Flat; landed Gowran conditions race (9.5f, yielding) for the third year running on latest; won lesser renewal of this race last season (good) but was no match for Purview in 1m4f Listed heat here on penultimate; hard to see him turning that around, but generally reliable and place chance. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Won this race in 2023 and 2024; good form early last season, recording back-to-back wins in Listed/Group 3 contests at the Curragh over 1m4f/1m2f on good; hasn't hit top stride yet this season but is top-rated here; he would prefer decent ground but has form on soft. |

Two wins in 2023; regressive form this year; mid-field last time at Fairyhouse when ridden by Colin Keane who deserts him to ride stablemate Sonic Invader; blinkered first time. |

9th 11 (2) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |
9st 7lb |
A long time since his last win, under Keane at the Curragh in 2023 off 13lb higher (1m2f, soft to heavy); not far away again under Keane last summer at Cork (1m4f, good); form since then has been poor, but interesting that Keane is aboard again now. |
22/1 |

14th 21 (6) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
8st 7lb |
A long time since he showed his best form; the most recent of his two wins was in 2023; towards the rear in three outings this season; 6lb out of the handicap, can be ruled out. |

Dual-purpose sort is 1-10 on Flat turf; won on the AW at Dundalk (1m4f) off 3lb lower in January and ran well at that venue following that; well beaten back on turf at Gowran 11 days ago (1m4f, yielding); suspicion he's not as effective on this surface. |

11st 13lb |
0-7 over hurdles but was still in contention before last-flight fall on stable debut in July and did not really enjoy the run of the race when respectable sixth of 14 at Kilbeggan (2m2f, good to yielding) last month; represents top Irish stable and must be considered. |

23rd Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 120y |
10st 5lb |
Didn't show much for Mags Mullins but in the process of showing improved form when a faller at the last in 2m5f Wexford handicap on yard debut last month, staying on and yet to be asked a question by inexperienced claiming rider; senior rider takes over here and likely player off a light weight. |

Dual handicap winner and better than ever when third of 23 at Leopardstown over Christmas (good to yielding); slower ground not ideal since then and could be a factor here in first-time cheekpieces. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 10y |

Gained second handicap win off 104 at Cork in November (2m, yielding); well beaten at Punchestown next time but improved for step up in trip when staying on third of 23 at Leopardstown in December (20.5f, good to yielding); weakened into a 20l fifth of ten at Thurles (2m7f, heavy); better chance if the ground dries out. |

Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |
