Dual winner here over 1m last winter; eyecatching third behind Venetian over C&D on latest and is weighted to get much closer to that rival here with a leading apprentice booked; contender. |

Dual winner here over 1m last winter; was poor on last Flat start and over hurdles in the summer; needs a return to his best after a break but back to the AW a positive. |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |

Three-time turf winner and often placed but 0-22 on AW and placed only three times; hard to make a strong case on recent AW form; however, he is so much more effective on turf that a good showing is not out of the question. |

12-race maiden but signs in his last couple of starts he may be capable from a basement mark; however, this looks competitive, not sure to appreciate a return to 7f and drawn on the wing. |

Turf record is poor (0-26) but more effective on AW (2-25); this year's form hasn't offered much but is 8lb below last winning mark so can't be totally discounted. |

Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Was returning from 235 days off and making her stable debut when fourth of nine in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; shaped then as though a drop in trip may suit, but still looks up against it even at this level. |

One of two for trainer; three-time winner here, the latest over C&D in December off 48; didn't get the best of runs when unplaced here in February (5f) and raced wide when weakened into ninth of 11 last time (6f); can do better. |

Beat Methgal by a short head at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) to gain his second win from 29 starts; raised a fair 3lb for that but overall form suggests he's not certain to back it up. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Record of 1-28 is off-putting; posted an excellent display from 6lb outside the handicap at Naas on seasonal return when second of 15; let favourite backers down at Navan next time when never better than midfield; hard to trust. |
6/1 |

10th 10 (2) |
30th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 5f 180y |

1-27 record is off-putting but potentially interesting now after an excellent display from 6lb out of the handicap at Naas on his seasonal debut; kept on well to challenge the well-fancied winner Noble Nation with a useful yardstick in third; this track is similar in character to Naas. |

Three course wins at 7f/1m and is now 2lb below his last winning mark from January last year; knocking on the door here recently, placing in four of his last five runs (three over C&D); took third in a higher grade last week; leading chance. |

Three course wins at 7f/1m and is now 2lb below his last winning mark from January last year; consistent runs since the turn of the year, placing in three of his four runs; left with plenty to do last time before running on to take a distant second behind Aingeal Dorcha; decent chance off same mark and kind draw, but this is a higher level. |
