2nd 9 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

1st 1 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

10st 0lb |
Six-time Dundalk winner with his last win coming over C&D this time last year off 72; one of three runners for the stable; hard to be confident given his modest turf win record (3-70). |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |
18/1 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Scored his third course win and his first over this trip when a neck too good for today's rival Benavente last month; had reached the first three in six consecutive races before last week's fourth of nine in a race in which Beauparc beat Voice Of Reason |
13/2 |

4th 5 (4) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Scored his third course win and his first over this trip last time under today's rider; needs more raised 5lb to a career-high mark but likely to be involved. |

8st 13lb |
Over two years since his only win; good AW run in July and fair effort when eighth of 28 at the Curragh latest; Colin Keane rides him for the first time since 2022; should not be ruled out. |

8st 12lb |
A close third in a Dundalk handicap last month showed he has some potential off this basement mark; not as effective but not beaten far at Gowran since; good draw and a top 5lb claimer on board. |

Listowel win came two years ago but best effort for some time when front-running close third at Dundalk earlier this month when 7lb out of handicap; has to be considered on turf return. |

Dual 1m course winner added her eighth rules win when bagging a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; recent handicap runs here at big prices leave a bit to be desired; cheekpieces. |
