Useful sprint handicapper on turf; sprung a 66-1 shock when beating Powerful National in a 5f Group 3 race at Dundalk last October; no sign of anything remotely comparable in four runs since February. |

Three turf wins including over C&D last September and biggest win came following month in Dundalk Group 3; yet to hit that sort of form in three starts this year in Listed contests; back in handicap company now. |

Started off the season by causing a 100-1 shock in a Curragh premier handicap and ran well at the same venue next time; substandard effort in the Scurry last time and needs to bounce back. |

Won twice on testing ground for Michael O'Callaghan last year; 100-1 when a rallying winner of a premier handicap here last month on his stable debut having been gelded with a few of these behind him; up 6lb for that and should be a leading contender once more. |

Gained fourth win of his career at Down Royal (5f, soft) last month; solid overall form this season; close fourth behind Sovereign Cry at Naas two weeks ago, form boosted by the third when scoring at Leopardstown on Thursday. |

Gained fourth win of career on latest at Down Royal (5f, soft); effective on quicker ground so conditions no concern and has gone well here before but a 6lb rise makes things tougher (never won off a mark this high). |

9st 7lb |
Hardy veteran has won fourteen races on turf, all on good and good to firm ground, but handles an ease; is 15lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh last year and didn't run badly at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; could go well. |
10/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 9lb |
Likeable veteran won for the fourteenth time at Musselburgh (5f, good) last April and is 13lb lower now; showed some spark when a 2l fourth at Dundalk on penultimate and was third over this C&D (soft) off 5lb higher in October; can't discount. |
14/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Attractive handicap mark, but veteran's 14 wins have come on turf; 0-11 on AW but his 2l fourth over 6f here last time is a reason for hope, as is the drop back to 5f now. |

9st 4lb |
Won at Dundalk (6f, AW) in January but he's not come close to that form since and was was well held on recent stable debut; now goes back up in trip but he's 1-19 on turf and others are preferred. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 6lb |
He did well after joining this yard last year and he's on a handy mark; he should get back on track sooner or later but this 10yo has failed to shine on his last three outings, over C&D on last two starts. |
25/1 |
|
9th 15 (5) |
12th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |

Veteran whose form has dipped in last two outings, latest over C&D eight days ago; doesn't look as if he's about to improve his poor strike-rate (long time between drinks). |
20/1 |

Good turf spell in the autumn included a winning yard debut at Haydock (good) and a close second over C&D (soft); has run well on AW since but looks to have his share of weight; trainer runs five and won this in 2024. |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

Some narrow defeats this term before convincing Navan win over this trip in August; raced on wrong side when sent off favourite there next time; below best at the Curragh (5f) latest but step back up in trip should be a help; goes on any ground. |

Both wins from the front over C&D, her local track, most recently last October off 72; quiet season so far (out of depth on first run) but sure to have been primed for her return to this track and Keane back on. |

Nine-time winner, including five on turf; last won over 6f (good) here in May 2025; went close in a 21-runner 5f handicap at Naas three starts ago; faded late into fifth behind Sovereign Cry when favourite back at Naas last time. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season; ran better than the bare result from 10lb out of the handicap in the Rockingham; finished well in the recent Naas event won by Sovereign Cry; not ruled out. |
