9st 9lb |
Won nursery at Down Royal (7f, good) last September off 63; still 14lb higher due to getting big hike for fine effort in rated race at Listowel; possibly didn't handle heavy on return at Gowran but might need to come down the weights; up in trip. |

1-7 in his 2yo campaign; won 7f nursery on good ground at Down Royal in September off 63 and is now 17lb higher after getting a big hike for a fine effort in a rated race at Listowel; has been gelded; unproven on very testing ground but is the choice of McMonagle; can't discount. |

Winner of a 7f nursery here in October 2024; not at his best in two turf runs last year; produced a good effort in a 1m claimer here last month on stable debut; another solid run over 1m4f last Friday despite meeting trouble in running. |

9st 13lb |
Improver this year, all three wins under this rider, most recently over extended 7f at Roscommon last month, coming home strongly after being switched to the outer in straight; hit with a 10lb rise for that however and upped in grade now; not sure the drop in trip will suit. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
10st 2lb |
Placed just twice from her first 16 starts but has improved, winning twice under this rider including by 3l over 7f at Gowran last month; the runner-up bolted up over 1m at same track six days ago, when this filly found herself too far back after a tardy start, keeping on late; should come home well if not too free down the hill here. |

Wasn't beaten far in couple of handicaps towards the end of last term; well held in three runs this season and was a beaten favourite on two of the three runs; workable mark if she gets back to last season's level of form. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 200y |

Ran a couple of good races for Pat Murphy at the backend of last season; signs of a return to form over 7f at Down Royal latest; this slightly longer trip should suit; place chance at least off 1lb lower. |

22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Sole win (19 starts) was over 1m2f at Ffos Las last June; has the same mark today, having finished no better than sixth in his four races since, two of them this season; raced freely when behind here on his only attempt beyond 1m4f (1m5f last September) so there are enough doubts. |

9st 1lb |
2-21 when trained in Ireland and scored again 16 days ago on fifth start for new yard, in clearcut style at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta; 25-1) after leading over 2f out; back up 5lb but he's returned to serious calculations. |

30th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Ex Irish gelding who was second of seven at Pontefract (1m, good) on stable debut in July but he's struggled in three starts since, including when behind Hashtagnotions at Beverley (8.5f, soft) 13 days ago; back up in trip on this return to AW. |

17th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish gelding who often blows the start and has continued to prove inconsistent for his current yard; pulled hard when not seeing out 1m2f last time (Tapeta) and won't mind soft ground. |
