23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Both wins have been at this track, including early last season over this trip (soft) and better form when third to Go Athletico in Scurry from out of handicap; reportedly coming into season when disappointing joint-favourite on C&D seasonal return in March, more expected of now. |

15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Sole win last season came over C&D (soft) on this card last year; three creditable runs off revised mark subsequently before form tailed off in the Autumn; dropped 2lb, handles heavy ground and dangerous to dismiss for yard that had a winner at Cheltenham this week. |

9st 5lb |
Has recorded his only two wins over 1m at this venue; ground was heavy when he scored off this mark last October, his 2024 win was on good going; his record of finishing second ten times strikes a note of caution; below best in three 2026 appearances. |

Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one. |

Won 6f Naas handicap off 1lb higher in April 2024; best form last season was on seasonal debut when third over C&D off 78; went close on C&D return last month and fair effort after a slow start at Naas 12 days ago; player despite being 5lb wrong. |

9st 9lb |
No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |

Behind Buddy Batt and Lethimfly here in March but later posted a career-best RPR when winning over 6f back here in April and can be forgiven his subsequent defeat at Chester; hard to leave out of calculations. |

Fully exposed 5yo but he recorded the best RPR of his 50-race career when winning at Dundalk last month (6f); while effective on turf, he looks high enough in the weights now returning to grass; well drawn but others appeal more for win purposes. |

Hardy veteran has won fourteen races on turf, all on good and good to firm ground, but handles an ease; is 15lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh last year and didn't run badly at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; could go well. |

Likeable veteran won for the fourteenth time at Musselburgh (5f, good) last April and is 13lb lower now; showed some spark when a 2l fourth at Dundalk on penultimate and was third over this C&D (soft) off 5lb higher in October; can't discount. |

Attractive handicap mark, but veteran's 14 wins have come on turf; 0-11 on AW but his 2l fourth over 6f here last time is a reason for hope, as is the drop back to 5f now. |

Three 6f wins on AW this year and he only narrowly failed to improve on a very modest turf strike-rate (now 1-35) when just touched off at Hamilton (5f, good) this month; no serious impact at Catterick (7f) since but ran well in headgear in Ireland and cheekpieces are now refitted. |

Three 6f AW wins this year for new yard and short-headed at Hamilton (5f, good) eight days ago when back on turf; there can be optimism that he will be fine back up to 7f and he's a strong contender. |

Has been on a roll at Southwell in recent weeks and didn't run badly in defeat at Wolverhampton; carries a penalty for the cosy win five days ago but a greater concern would be his record on grass, which reads 1-33. |

1-16, the win coming in a Naas nursery (5f, good) as a 2yo; may have needed his stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago and worth a market check off his much lower AW mark. |
