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. |

On a hat-trick after 7f wins at Naas and Galway; Coen's claim means he's probably still fairly treated and is ground-versatile. |

Two AW wins last year; opened his turf account at the 15th attempt at Naas last week; one of three for the stable here; could feature with the champion jockey booked; draw should help. |

Two-time AW winner is 0-14 on turf but has gone close in defeat, including at Down Royal on penultimate; too keen over 1m last time, will appreciate return to 7f. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Six-time winner is 6lb above his last winning mark at Roscommon in September (1m4f, soft); good second on seasonal return at Leopardstown in June (1m1f, soft) but below his best at the Curragh and Galway (2m1f, yielding) since then; slowly away and stumbled in that latest outing, which was a first try at a 2m+ trip; best form on softer. |
6/1 |
|
14th 16 (10) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |
11st 5lb |
Best form at this venue, the scene of three of his six wins; pleasing second at Leopardstown on seasonal debut; failed to improve his weak Curragh record (now unplaced on nine visits) a month ago; highly effective over the extended mile here, this trip may stretch his stamina. |
50/1 |
|
8th 2 (6) |
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. |

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. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Poor in two Flat runs on return from a break but bounced back with a maiden hurdle win at Tramore on latest; that will have boosted confidence but this trip may be on the sharp side back on the level. |
16/1 |

1st 1 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Fair sort on the Flat, winning 1m7f Leopardstown handicap last summer, albeit latest two efforts have been well below his best; 0-6 hurdling, narrowly beaten in C&D maiden at this meeting last year his best effort; chance if returning to that sort of form. |

Won over just shy of this trip at Leopardstown last summer off 69; mainly campaigned over hurdles since; Killarney comeback run was over an inadequate trip so more expected here although cruel draw. |

Five-time winner including twice this season; stayed on well to see off Elusive Duke at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) eight days ago (Loingseoir fourth) and raised 7lb; has gone well here before but very wide draw not ideal. |

Gained a first win for almost three years in a 1m Gowran handicap in April; failed to cut much ice in two efforts since; might just prefer it softer these days. |

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. |

In fine form in the spring, winning three 6f handicaps at Southwell before finishing second over 5f here off a 9lb higher mark; his form has gone the wrong way since, including when backed into favouritism at Newcastle 13 days ago; not solid. |
