9st 6lb |
Consistent sprint handicapper last year; won off a mark of 91 over C&D on his seasonal debut; raised 11lb for that and took another 8lb rise for beating useful yardstick My Mate Alfie in a Listed race at Naas in April; suited by soft ground. |

Gave Betsen 1lb and a 2.75l beating in a 5f Curragh (soft) handicap on his return, his third career win; hiked up 11lb for that win and now steps up into stakes company for the first time; soft ground fine; place claims. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 5lb |
Record of 2-42 (1-28 on turf); didn't look like a winner in waiting during a winter AW campaign and below-par again on return to the turf at Navan (6f, heavy); 5f more suitable but needs a revival. |

Hard to win with, as illustrated by 2-41 record; won 5f Dundalk handicap off 73 in December 2024; now down to 52, having been regressive since second in a claimer last summer; needs to step up on recent Dundalk form. |

9st 9lb |
Nine-time winner, most recently over C&D (soft) off 82 in March; best effort for some time when today's headgear tried in finishing never nearer fourth over C&D 17 days ago in testing conditions; 2lb lower now and Keane takes over; has to be respected. |

9st 0lb |
In fine form in the spring, winning three 6f handicaps at Southwell before finishing second over 5f here off a 9lb higher mark; his form has gone the wrong way since, including when backed into favouritism at Newcastle 13 days ago; not solid. |
12/1 |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Won three sprint handicaps at Southwell in the spring; form has dipped more recently but he has slipped in the weights and Jack Nicholls takes off a handy 5lb; market instructive. |

9st 9lb |
Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

C&D winner off 74 last July on good; 6lb lower now; course form figures of 32103; tough sort was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on return and was again strong in the betting when poor at Naas a week later; should improve on quicker ground. |
