10st 2lb |
Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit. |

8st 10lb |
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. |

Seven-time AW winner is 1-16 on turf; lost way for former yard and starts out for another new stable here; rated 51 and poorly treated by race conditions; others preferred. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |
10st 1lb |
Hasn't won for three years and only had two outings last term; fair fourth in race featuring several of these at Navan (6f) in March and kept on well from long way back (missed break) when third over 5f there last weekend; likely to be strong at the finish, but the break will be crucial from gate one. |

On a losing run since April 2023; however, put up a sound effort here over 6f here (sft) on return off this mark; handles better ground so if improving from that has a chance. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
10st 3lb |
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. |
18/1 |
|
21th 15 (20) |
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. |
25/1 |
|
15th 6 (13) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

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. |

10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

3rd 15 (17) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 6lb |
Two wins last year included this race off a mark of 80 when trained by Stephen Thorne; 8lb lower now, talented claimer takes off another 5lb and gets his favoured good ground for the first time this year; drawn wide but dangerous to dismiss. |
10/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Veteran has won 12 of his 81 starts including five wins on turf; best form is on good ground, though he wasn't beaten that far over C&D on testing ground last October; has had a pipe opener at Dundalk and could outrun odds off 4lb lower. |

9st 7lb |
Fairly treated on her back-to-back runner-up efforts over 7f on AW/turf in August but not quite at the same level in recent starts; Captain Parma is the more obvious of her prolific stable's pair. |

5th 3 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish soft/heavy-ground winner; 0-10 for James Owen since June; has posted some good efforts in defeat but struggles for consistency and it was one of her lesser efforts when fifth of seven at Chester (7f, good) on Friday; first run at 6f for over two years. |
7/2 |

5th 6 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern. |

Progressive sort has won both starts since moving to Charles Byrnes; won off 95 at Thurles (2m, good) and followed up off 111 at Navan (2m, yielding to soft); got hit with a 14lb hike for that and this is a much tougher task; will need a career best but he can't be discounted. |
