Battled well to beat Little Queenie (gave 13lb) over C&D in June and back to that level of form when just denied at Bellewstown last week after racing up with the pace; big player. |

Battled well to win at Navan in June off 2lb higher, safely held twice since in bigger fields at the Curragh; down in grade so don't rule out though best efforts have been over stiffer tracks. |

9st 2lb |
Had placed form over 6f/7f at three, but sole win came when making all over 1m7f in amateur riders' handicap at Leopardstown last summer; twice runner-up in maiden hurdles as well; this will be too sharp a test on first run since October. |

Won on the Flat at Leopardstown in August and some good hurdle runs since; the best of them when runner-up in maidens at Tramore and Listowel; a repeat will put him in the mix. |

Filly often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; another who often misses the break; both career wins were last October over sprint trips but stays. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |

Much stronger record on AW (5-30, placed nine times) as opposed to turf (1-25, placed four times); two of his last three starts on grass have been satisfactory; probably superior to stablemate Apache Outlaw. |

Much stronger record on AW (5-30, placed nine times) as opposed to turf (1-24, placed four times); his run at Navan over 6f on his penultimate start was one of his better efforts on grass. |
