9st 9lb |
Sole win came at Galway (7f, yielding to soft) in August 2023 when trained by Dermot Weld; struggled in his first three outings for this yard but shaped more encouragingly at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 88 days ago; had a wind operation two days later and now returns to AW. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo; yet to add to his Galway maiden win in summer 2023 and has not threatened on any of three starts for new stable this year (7f-1m); still worth a glance in the betting, though. |

1-18 when trained in Ireland and well held in both starts on turf since returning for this yard last month; ran well on the beach at Laytown last September, but still has enough to prove for now. |

Navan winner last summer (1m) but form this year so far poor, stone last on both recent outings; hard to be confident in and wide draw a negative. |

Second reserve; Navan winner last summer but towards rear on all three runs this term; handicapper relenting but remains opposable. |

Three wins at shorter trips, including 1m Navan success last summer off 80; two runs over same trip in May leave him with lots to find although senior rider now takes over from inexperienced claimer. |

17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner in 2023 three turf wins; light campaign this year but encouraging signs over C&D on latest when creditable fourth (1.5l off Star Harbour) in August; little bit to find with that rival, who has since gone close. |
11/4 |

15th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Won this in 2023 and scored on turf last year; has to improve on recent runs but is now 3lb lower than for that last score so has to be considered from a good draw. |

Latest of four career wins came in this race last year off 1lb higher; two Curragh runs this term some way below best so needs to bounce back. |

9st 8lb |
Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner on the AW but just 1-31 on turf; beaten 3l when third of 6 in this last season and just 1lb lower now; finished a couple of places ahead of Tolebi when a 4.5l seventh of 17 at the Curragh on latest; place shout. |

7th 4 (2) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Eight-time AW winner; not as good on turf (1-31) and last of 12 on his favoured surface when last seen at Lingfield in early April; others appeal more. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No joy since winning over 1m2f here (good) in September 2024; didn't fire last season and no sign of a revival in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in sole run this year; remains 3lb above last success. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up. |
6/4 |

14th 1 (22) |
14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Last year's win in this race came off mark of 94; light campaign this term when tried over longer trips, not discredited in Group 3 at Leopardstown last time; return to this trip a positive but others preferred. |
