13-race maiden; ran well off an 8lb higher mark on her stable debut in January (1m, AW) but she has been disappointing since, including back on turf latest; others look stronger. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 40y |
10st 2lb |
Both wins have been on the AW, including in March off 59; close third from a bad draw at Dundalk on Sunday, having 11 days earlier chased home Pete's Dream at Fairyhouse over this trip; has her chance again and good draw plus 5lb claimer booked. |

Defied a similarly-wide draw when winning over C&D in March; only 1lb higher now and little wrong with her turf form since. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 160y |

Added a second AW win at Dundalk in March (1m); 0-14 on turf but has run some decent runs in defeat; last two runs at Limerick and Roscommon have been satisfactory; back in 0-60 company now; on the shortlist. |

Wide margin winner at Down Royal last year off 62 (7f, good); some okay runs following that but well beaten in last four starts and needs to return to her best. |

30th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won the 3yo handicap on this card last year off 62; 1lb lower now and should strip fitter for her comeback run at the Curragh when sporting blinkers (removed); draw not perfect but dangerous to dismiss (course form figures at 7f read 221); considered. |

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. |

13th Oct 2024 Yielding 1m 2f 84y |

21st Jul 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Competitive in 1m2f handicaps on last three outings and came from off the pace to win by a nose at Yarmouth (good) on latest, getting off the mark at eighth attempt; back up 2lb and has each-way chance. |
5/2 |
|
2 (5) |
9th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Seven-race maiden; beaten around 5l by the same prolific winner in 1m2f amateur riders' races the last twice, latterly at Bath (firm) in early May; edging down the weights; a possible. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
5th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Six-race maiden; beaten around 4l when fourth behind Beauld As Brass at Lingfield (1m2f) 12 days ago but she ran well for a long way and has a big swing in the weights with her old rival here; could pose a serious threat if she backs up that last run. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Won his second race when scoring over 1m at Limerick but was disappointing off this mark at Killarney last week when raced keenly; needs to rebound. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner last year; solid form at 1m this season and won impressively at Limerick (1m, good) on latest off 8lb lower; drawn wide but that shouldn't be an issue given his run style; career high mark but there could be more to come. |

Generally consistent sort gained a second handicap win at Down Royal (7f, soft) two weeks ago off 58; in form but most of best turf form is on softer ground so probably needs rain. |
9/2 |

1st 2 (15) |
19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised. |

2nd 8 (9) |
1st Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 96y |
9st 2lb |
Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; first two runs this term were moderate, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second; returning to form with a 7f win at Roscommon and backed that up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran with Chica Guerrera in third; can remain competitive despite an aggregate 10lb rise |

Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; two moderate runs this term, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second, before returning to form with a winning display at Roscommon a fortnight ago; made all over the extended 7f then, this trip is within her range; 5lb extra does not seem harsh. |

Placed at two before missing 3yo season; two wins here last year, including corresponding contest (Ob La Di well-held fourth); not seen after that until fair comeback over 1m2f here in May, and 2m1f may have stretched her at Limerick; only 4lb higher than last year; likes it good, but scratched because of quick ground last time. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who has maintained his consistency in two starts for new stable, creditable fourth at Musselburgh (1m) latest; still has a modest strike-rate but is likely to give his running and again holds frame possibilities. |
