7th Mar 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time C&D winner, has struggled to find his best form since second here in November; third in a six-runner contest three starts ago. |

5th 2 (12) |
14th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time 6f course winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six here four weeks ago; failed to build on that on his most recent visit, though not far behind Sporting Hero in that event. |

Four-time C&D winner who hinted at a return to form when third of six 12 days ago; down another 2lb and should be in the mix with useful claimer taking off 5lb. |

26th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |
7/1 |

Admirably durable veteran stuck to his task well when recording his 12th AW win last month; 1-27 record on turf strikes a strong cautionary note; 0-6 at this venue in his 87-race career. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner in Ireland (5f/6f) but 0-4 for this yard; never featured following a slow start at Lingfield (7f, AW) last month, but he's down to a career-low mark and is one to keep an eye on in the betting now dropping class. |

15th Oct 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
In fine form; gained second career win at Navan (5f, good) on penultimate off 8lb lower; another solid effort off revised mark here on latest (6f, yielding); go well again if the rain misses. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 12 (11) |
26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Beat Keke by 3l in a 6f premier handicap here last year and he's back in good form, denying Namiid with the pair clear last time at Navan (5f, good); went up 8lb for that, but he can deal with this mark. |
6/1 |
|
1st 6 (8) |
5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Curragh winner last year (6f, good) is now 3lb lower and he almost got back to winning ways at the Curragh (6f, good) two weeks ago, beaten just 0.75l into second of 10; has gone well here before, but over 6f, so the drop back to 5f is a query and wouldn't want to see much rain. |

Turf/Polytrack winner for David Marnane in Ireland, but refused the race in both intended starts last year and virtually did so on stable debut here (7f) in March; extremely risky. |

Seven-time winner but hasn't scored since May 2024 and has been off since running well to finish third in a Ballinrobe claimer in July last year; record when fresh suggests he might need this. |

9st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins on good ground over 5f at Navan and Down Royal in summer of 2024; not been close to that form over last two years and continues to slide in the weights. |
33/1 |

12th 10 (5) |

Won here over 5f two years ago on fast ground, later winning at Down Royal (both times for today's rider); lightly raced in recent years, entitled to come on for last month's Naas comeback run. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Dual winner over this trip in 2024; lost his form soon afterwards and has been absent almost a year so is best watched unless market support comes. |

Seven wins up to 7f with latest coming at the Curragh over 6f in August before a lesser Fairyhouse run; all his best form is on faster ground so this isn't ideal. |
