24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Notched a three-timer last summer with wins at Bellewstown (1m7f, good), Ballinrobe (1m5f, good to yielding) and Galway (1m6f, yielding); made a moderate return at Ballinrobe last time and regular rider Patrick McGettigan is not aboard. |

9st 6lb |
Won three in a row last summer (1m5f/1m6f, good-yielding) and narrowly beaten over today's trip in big field at Galway; absent since October so may just need this (regular rider switches to Granville Street). |

Won three in a row on the Flat in the summer under Patrick McGettigan (1m5f/1m6f, good-yielding) and reverted to this code with narrow second in a big field at Galway (1m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; clearly thriving and has a big shout with the step back up in trip a likely plus. |

Scored over 3m2f here last May on good ground; placed again here over 25.5f in October off his revised mark; below best when last seen in January and this trip may be too sharp. |

Got off the mark over C&D in May but has been well below that level twice since; had an excuse for the first occasion but has to improve plenty from last time. |

Consistent and progressive 7yo who made all to score by 6l at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) on latest outing; has fitness to prove after 137-day break but could plausibly be seen to even better effect on the forecast faster ground here. |

Off the mark in a Gowran handicap hurdle in October last year (2m, good); has been disappointing in four runs since, evenly spread between Flat and hurdles; reported to have burst a blood vessel at Cork in August when pulled up; remains 4lb above last winning mark. |
