13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Four AW wins in Ireland in 2024 (10.7f-1m4f), all in blinkers; modest hurdle form for Ben Pauling in 2025; makes his stable debut after 205 days off and he goes without headgear. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten over 2m here on stable/hurdle debut in May and ran to just a fair level when placed over that trip on next two outings; however, last year's useful Irish Flat form over middle-distance/staying trips in headgear offers hope he can improve over hurdles now he's upped to 2m4f with a visor refitted; interesting. |

Two AW wins during her spell in Ireland; folded tamely and failed to beat a rival at Southwell last month on debut for new yard; others preferred. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; flopped when odds-on at Wetherby in February and is now 0-8 over hurdles but suggested his turn might be near when third at Plumpton (2m, soft) on his penultimate run; cheekpieces are now added on his return and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Two-time Flat winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had been struggling to get competitive in this code prior to his third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |
8st 12lb |
Dual winner on the Flat; ran way too bad to bad to be true at Fairyhouse last time but a repeat of his previous effort over this C&D would give him a definite chance here. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |

Dual Flat winner in 2022; good effort at Gowran (1m6f, soft) when third and backed that up at Killarney when second of nine over 2m1f on good ground; player given those recent efforts. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner (1m1f-1m4f) who showed promise in maiden hurdles but his progress stalled in spring 2025, pulling up on handicap hurdle debut and finishing well beaten on his final start for Denis Hogan in May last year; brought down at the first on stable debut after an absence this April (20-1), but still sets the standard with a mark of 110. |
11/2 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has also shown promise over hurdles; well beaten in this code last May and bought out of Denis Hogan's yard for £17,000 later that month; absent since but he's one of the likelier winners if at the top of his game on this comeback and stable debut; watch the betting. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 137y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner on a sound surface last year; not as effective a hurdler (0-6), standout effort when second to a 10l winner in C&D maiden last month; stiff task on Flat latest; place claims back in maiden company but no easy task conceding weight. |

Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound. |

Likes a stamina test, last three wins at around this trip including at Leopardstown last month off 71; hampered start when never counting at same venue 9 days ago but that run can be forgiven and remains a player. |

Won two staying handicaps last year and added another one over C&D (gd-yld) two weeks ago; a 6lb rise makes things harder but another good run likely on the cards. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |

Six-time AW winner is 0-19 on turf; hasn't looked like ending that winless run on last three starts, beaten 13l at Navan on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

9st 4lb |
Front-runner rated 69 after nine starts on the Flat; beaten 1l off that mark in a 1m4f Roscommon handicap (good) on seasonal reappearance last month; finished second in this race last year behind Magical Zoe; unlikely to get an uncontested lead here but she has place claims. |
