9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 6f 195y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won a 7f Dundalk maiden on his second start but beaten 14 times since; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month though and a subsequent lesser effort can be partially excused by him getting upset in the stalls. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Yet to add to his Irish AW maiden win in 2024 but has made the frame on all three appearances this season, most recently when very close second at Musselburgh (7f, good) a fortnight ago; only 1lb higher here and should cope if the ground eases; likely contender. |

AW winner in Ireland; mostly consistent in defeat for current yard, after wind surgery in last two races; this is his trip and unlikely to be too far away. |

Sole win came on AW in late 2024; back from long absence when well held over C&D (first-time hood) in April and has changed yards again since. |

Has shown definite ability in a quartet of maidens; tongue-tied for her handicap debut and the market may prove a good guide. |

Green under pressure but ran a big race in fourth in a decent Leopardstown maiden (7f, good) on debut; got tapped for toe at Fairyhouse and Limerick since and needs to improve. |

Back-to-back wins at Leopardstown last August (both 7f, good); held off 4lb lower by Sun Soldier at Punchestown in September; lacks a run and record fresh suggests she might need this. |

Remains a maiden after five starts but she has ability and ran well on her sole AW start when third here over a mile in July; her opening mark is fair and she should go well from an inside draw. |

25th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Last of 10 on debut but has run with credit in two subsequent maidens and was unsuited by a slow tempo when sixth over C&D three weeks ago; widest draw isn't ideal but has place claims given that she's less exposed than most in here. |

Was 25-1 for her debut at Punchestown (7f, good to yielding) last year and she failed to beat a rival home; in good hands but returns from over a year off and can only be watched unless there is market support. |

Near misses in two claimers during May extended her losing sequence to 16 so she's had plenty of chances now; rated only 62 so should be vulnerable again. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |

Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip. |

Half-sister to this year's Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring out of a half-sister to Shamardal; 18-1, nice debut when staying on into fourth over 1m here a fortnight ago; not much to find with third home Liltia but has 5l to make up on North Africa; longer trip promises to suit. |

Had placed form over 6f/7f at three, but sole win came when making all over 1m7f in amateur riders' handicap at Leopardstown last summer; twice runner-up in maiden hurdles as well; this will be too sharp a test on first run since October. |
