9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

9st 10lb |
Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Top rated at 98 and mostly in good form this season; beaten 1.75l when second in a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap on latest in July; placed in listed company at Chester (12.5f soft) a year ago but this trip surely on the sharp side; fifth 4.20 here on Monday. |

Four-time winner but last win came two years ago; however, went close at Ballinrobe last time when stepped back up in trip to 1m5f and many of his better efforts have come on softer ground so this should be up his alley; interesting. |

Winner of ten races; last of six stakes race wins was in 2023 Royal Whip over 1m2f at the Curragh; however, he proved that he retains considerable ability and enthusiasm when winning a conditions event over this trip at the Curragh on seasonal debut; (Dallas Star third, Emit fourth), that was his first 1m6f attempt, on his 47th outing. |

9st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |

Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |

One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

Won twice last year including a 1m1f handicap at this track; later finished a fine fourth in a 1m2f Listed race; returned to action with a career-best effort under a big weight in the Irish Lincoln; this trip might be a bit short but is still a major player. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 1y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Failed to progress after winning a maiden for Dermot Weld but it's been a bright start for his new connections and he only narrowly failed last time at Ripon (1m2f, good to soft); that was a Class 4 so this is tougher, but respected nonetheless. |

Failed to progress for Dermot Weld but this lightly raced 5yo was a promising fourth at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) on his recent stable and seasonal debut; could have more to offer for this yard; on the shortlist. |

20th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Dual winner at two is a useful colt but it's been tricky to find a spot for him this term; runner-up in Group 3 at the Curragh in May and placed in Listed contest at Deauville in August, both times over this trip, and not shamed in very valuable Grade 3 at Kentucky Downs last time when tried in cheekpieces (left off here); handles easy ground well and should be involved. |

Two easy 2yo wins (minor races) and runner-up in Group 3 Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh (1m2f, good to yielding) last month; however, he was no match for the winner and doesn't appear to be progressing; something to find. |

Fourth in last year's Irish Oaks and bounced back from a lesser run when getting the better of Layfayette in a Listed race at Leopardstown in October; lightly-raced 4yo who we may not have seen the best of yet but others preferred with race fitness on side. |

Maiden and handicap winner on good ground this year and also placed in a Fairyhouse Group 3 (1m6f, good) in July; hampered when a 4.25l third behind Fleur De Chine in the Listed Bluebell Stakes at Naas on latest; this ground may not be ideal. |
