20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

9st 12lb |
Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |

9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
9st 0lb |
Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 5lb |
Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

9st 8lb |
Hard to win with, as illustrated by 2-41 record; won 5f Dundalk handicap off 73 in December 2024; now down to 52, having been regressive since second in a claimer last summer; needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |

Regressive this year until taking advantage of a reduced mark to score over 6f at Fairyhouse in September; backed that up with 6f win here; not as effective over this trip since. |

21st Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Shot up the ratings after a pair of emphatic AW victories in March/April; has failed to transfer that improvement to turf in two outings at Navan; down 6lb again now from high of 84. |

8th Jun 2024 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Shot up the ratings after pair of easy AW victories in March/April; wasn't able to transfer that improvement to turf when well held over C&D last month, nearly 4l behind Mehman; faster ground may help; blinkers worn in last four starts left off. |
5/1 |

Rapidly progressive filly on AW, most recently winning easily at Wolverhampton; has shot up the ratings and and it will be interesting to see if she can transfer that form to turf. |

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Nine-time winner, five on turf; latest win came here over 6f in May 2025 off 8lb higher; good runs in defeat over C&D this term, the best when runner-up off 1lb higher in June; fourth here last time when 3.25l behind Dandy Land; don't rule him out. |

Four-time AW winner is 1-23 on turf; ran well at Bellewstown and Naas earlier this season but way below best the last twice at Leopardstown & Galway; others arrive in better form. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas; a long way below his best at Leopardstown on latest. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort when over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas last month; 1-22 record on turf is a concern but those recent efforts have been encouraging |
