Got off the mark when winning a Bellewstown claimer over this trip on soft but was poor over 1m2f at Leopardstown since; coming back in trip will help; tough draw. |

9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins last season on good and heavy ground; yet to hit top gear this term but has slipped 4lb below his last success and hinted that he might be coming back to form at Ballinrobe on latest; not discounted. |

Is 0-7; has run okay on his last two starts in a maiden at Laytown (7f) and in a maiden claimer at Bellewstown (1m, yielding to soft), weak; well-beaten in sole completed handicap off 71 in August; 6lb lower now but still doesn't look that well-treated and not sure he stays this far; others preferred. |

Won off 6lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh last March (1m, soft); no joy since and beaten around 9l in both starts at that venue this season; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces; not discounted. |

Sole victory came in this race last year (soft) on his seasonal return and he is 2lb lower now; was well backed on that occasion so he's well worth monitoring in the market. |

16-race maiden on Flat, poor hurdler; showed early promise for Michael O'Callaghan as a juvenile in 2021; has been struggling over hurdles lately; seems safe to rule out. |

Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |
