9st 11lb |
Both wins have come here, notably minor conditions event (7f, heavy) last November; first run since when fourth of 5 in good-class Gowran conditions event last month; yard going well but 6f on decent ground may prove on the lively side. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Impressive Curragh maiden winner in August 2024; below that form early last season but finished well with a pair of third-placed finishes at the Curragh and Naas in competitive handicaps (soft and yielding) before winning conditions race on last start, beating Senna's Girl by a neck as 1-2 favourite; form of that questionable and he's not well treated at the weights here. |

9st 6lb |
Lightly raced 4yo won maiden here last summer on belated debut (6f, good) and much better form on seasonal return when fifth in Tipperary conditions over today's trip; back to near that form after a break (gelded) when making most in finishing third in Naas handicap last month; major player if handling the testing conditions. |

Won at Listowel in June; no impact off revised mark next three starts but then went close at Naas; midfield on his two most recent starts; C&D maiden winner on yielding ground a year ago; all nine races in 2025 have been over further; first-time blinkered. |

Rarely runs a bad race and he's won two of his last three starts, including an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) 11 days ago; has a penalty back on turf but he ran right up to his best last time and this new trip should be within range; respected. |
