12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Three-time turf winner who made a positive return to turf at Bellwstown (1m, soft) in April before finishing ninth at Limerick on yielding; bolted up on soft at Roscommon off 1lb lower last year so can be in the mix if rain comes. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |

The last of her five wins came over this trip at Leopardstown last autumn; below that form in three starts this year; has plenty to find with some of these on today's terms. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |

C&D winner in October but the ground was heavy then and she does prefer give underfoot; no better than seventh this season (good/yielding) and there will be other days for her. |

Durable mare enjoyed a fine summer in 2024, compiling form figures of 2311 before a below par ninth of 16 on final start at Galway; best suited by soft/heavy; should be better for last month's reappearance at Fairyhouse. |

Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

9st 9lb |
Five-time winner (two on turf) effective at 1m-1m4f; had been running well on the AW this year before a poor effort on testing ground at the Curragh when last seen in April; this ground more suitable and has gone well fresh, but yet to win off this high a mark. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

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. |

8st 12lb |
Showed big improvement in first-time blinkers when a close-up fifth of 17 at Cork over 7f last month; was doing best work at the finish on AW debut when third in a maiden claimer here over 6f in a race where conditions didn't suit; good chance back up in trip despite wide draw. |

Big improvement on latest in first-time blinkers (retained) when beaten just 2l into fifth of 17 at Cork (7f, good to firm); that was a handicap off 47 and he is not well-treated by the conditions of this race on AW debut; outside place claims but others preferred. |
