4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Listed runner-up for Ger Lyons last May (7f, good) but well beaten on final two starts for that yard and same story on last month's stable debut in the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot; may be best watched for now. |
33/1 |

28th 19 (13) |
17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Formerly trained by Ger Lyons; placed a few times over 6f/7f in Listed grade but posted duck eggs at Royal Ascot 2025 and in valuable Irish handicap in his last two appearances; sold for 80,000gns since; hood fitted; enough to prove on debut for new yard. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Debut winner last year of Naas maiden but hasn't added to tally in six starts since, standout effort when second in Naas Listed over this trip in May; gelded since finishing last in Group 3 Jersey Stakes in June and not to be dismissed on handicap debut though stiff enough task at the weights. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Has failed to add to her Fairyhouse 6f maiden debut win last year; out of her depth in Group 3 races over further on last two starts; drop in class and trip should help; first time with this headgear pairing. |
10/1 |

11th 10 (3) |
20th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Hasn't added to her Fairyhouse 6f maiden debut win last year; however, she has run well several times including in a C&D Listed race two starts back; has to rebound from a poor Curragh run; seems yard's first-string. |
10/1 |
|
7th 5 (5) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Has been found wanting in Group 3 races this season, latest two runs in Listed company were better but still leaves her a fair bit off the standard required here. |

16th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
A fairly useful 5f winner in 2024 for Archie Watson; missed 2025 and yet to show that form for his current yard this season, finishing last of six in 5f Hamilton handicap 20 days ago; others are preferred. |
12/1 |

27th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 7y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
He ran his best race for current connections when third of five at Catterick five weeks ago (6f, good; blinkers first time); dropped 2lb but suspicion he will remain vulnerable. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
22nd Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Useful as 2yo for Archie Watson; absent for 501 days prior to three modest AW efforts for his new stable this year; dropped 11lb and now tried in blinkers so a revival isn't out of the question; not a solid option though. |

21st Jun 2025 Good To Soft 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Poor results, without headgear, this season for new yard; could revive with cheekpieces refitted, having gained her Irish success (6f) in this headgear. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 1y Class 4 |
8st 8lb |
6f maiden winner in Ireland last autumn but has failed to beat a rival in two starts for Jim Goldie; like her two stablemates, she arrives here with risks attached. |
25/1 |

14th 5 (9) |
28th May 2025 Good 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
6f maiden winner in Ireland but then disappointed in three runs for John McConnell and was tailed off on debut for this yard over 7f at Wetherby (50-1); others preferred. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Has hit form lately, winning two 7f handicaps at Gowran on easy ground, beating Greydreambeliever on both occasions; raised 6lb for latter success and handles faster ground fine, so has to be on the shortlist with claimer staying aboard. |
5/1 |

1st 2 (5) |
12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Bounced back to form with C&D win (soft) on latest when seeing off several of today's rivals (effort can be marked up as short of room then hampered over 1f out); up 3lb which is generous and should go well again. |
6/1 |
