25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time turf winner who appreciates an ease in the ground; 3lb above his last success in September at Roscommon (7.5f, soft); positive return to turf at Bellewstown (1m, soft) two weeks ago when fourth of 14 following a poor effort at Dundalk prior; no surprise to see him feature. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 8lb |
Three-time turf winner who appreciates an ease in the ground; 5lb above his last success in September at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) but has run well here before and had a recent run at Dundalk so he'll be fit; each-way shout. |

Four-time winner (one at this venue); very comfortable winner of a Roscommon handicap in September off 59 (7.5f, soft); not at the same level off higher mark since; weakened into tenth over 10.5f here latest; this trip looks more suitable but has never won from a mark this high. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Flat winner is 0-13 over hurdles; didn't run terribly at Down Royal in December off this mark; should be sharper for latest run at Wexford when made late gains from the back; could outrun likely odds. |
16/1 |
|
7th 14 |
16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner (last win in 2024) but yet to trouble the judge in 12 starts over hurdles; some decent runs in defeat when last seen over the winter, finished fifth of 13 at Thurles (2m, good to yielding) and fifth of 20 at Down Royal (2m1f, yielding), flying home after being hampered by a faller; can't be ruled out. |

Five wins, four of them on AW including 50-1 success under this rider in December; shaped like the run was needed at Ballinrobe last time; best form is over 10.5f, this trip stretches him |

Five-time winner on turf who wasn't beaten far in pair of C&D handicaps last season; no impression in two winter AW spins; capable of getting involved back on turf; handles underfoot conditions. |

21st Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Naas success over a mile in July was the furthest he's won over; recent efforts over further below best and will appreciate return to this trip; decent fourth at Gowran on Monday (4.19). |
12/1 |
Verdict
Denis Hogan runs three and may collect with RODERICK, not the most consistent type but well enough treated by the race conditions if he can reproduce the form of this term’s two Leopardstown handicap runs. Khafaaq was reliable for Andy Slattery last season and should go close if reappearing in peak form on his first start for Pat Martin. Monzoon and Zahee make some appeal on Dundalk form.
