1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 205y |
10st 2lb |
9yo has won six races including one over C&D; shaped as though still retaining ability when runner up in higher grades than this at Galway and fourth at the Curragh; 2lb below last win and can go well. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |
9st 1lb |
Four of his six wins have come at this venue, two over this trip; ran another sound race when splitting Genuine Article and Titanium at the festival; a bit below his best in two more recent runs; could feature back at his favourite track with a valuable 7lb off. |

Four of his six wins have come at Galway and good second there last month; setting steady pace left him vulnerable at the Curragh on latest; rider's claim here a positive. |

9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner is 0-13 on turf but has gone close in defeat; some of best efforts have come at Galway so likely to be heading to Ballybrit; however, not beaten far at Down Royal last time (7f, soft) and 1lb lower now so place shout, though could be drawn better. |

Dual AW winner but 0-12 on turf; returned from over a year off at Leopardstown (7f, soft) when beaten 14l; that doesn't provide much encouragement. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Record of 6-37 on turf; best form at Galway, the scene of three of his wins; in contrast, he has a weak Curragh record, unplaced in eight visits; pleasing second at Leopardstown recently on seasonal debut; a reproduction would put him in the mix. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Record of 6-36 on turf with three of those at his beloved Galway; rounded off last year with midfield finish at that venue from a tough draw; handles the mud but usually needs the comeback run. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 15y |
9st 5lb |
Won this race in 2020 and again last year off 1lb higher; likely to have needed his latest outing when behind a few of these at Roscommon and Oisin Murphy is an eye-catching booking; looks to have been laid out for this; interesting. |

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. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y |

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. |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Snapped lengthy losing run when landing 7.5f handicap at this track in April, beating Miss Americana by a short head; ran just okay off 4lb higher at Limerick since but dropped a further 2lb after; 3-7 here and enjoys soft ground so can't be dismissed. |

Four AW wins; sole turf win came at this course (7f); didn't count first two starts for this stable but failed to get a clear run late on when seventh of 15 at Limerick (1m) eight days ago (Bucaneer's Spirit third); interesting off career-low mark. |

Three 6f AW wins for Iain Jardine in the spring; also ran well on turf at Hamilton in May but his form has dipped since; back to his last winning mark but he needs to raise his game; the removal of cheekpieces could be a positive. |

Seven-time winner at 7f/1m, last three wins coming at Listowel on soft/heavy; has tended to need his comeback run so probably best watched here on ground on the quick side. |
