31st May 2026 Good 0m 5f 8y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish mare; ran a cracker on her stable debut at Newcastle in March (5f), beaten a nose by a well-handicapped opponent; mixed fortunes in three runs since; others may have her measure today. |

10th 8 (3) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Twice a 5f winner in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh, and she has made a solid start for her new yard, close third of seven at Beverley on latest outing; bubbling under and one of the likelier candidates. |
8/1 |

Bought for 18,000gns in October having won twice over 5f (good/good to firm) for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland; good AW second on stable debut in March and fair turf run last time; each-way chance. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark. |

Won this race last year after a Bellewstown second and now bids to follow the same pattern after a good run eight days ago; fair chance that he can reverse Dundalk form with Buddy Batt. |

9st 7lb |
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. |
10/1 |

6th 5 (13) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 9lb |
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. |
14/1 |

8th 7 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

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. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-22 in Ireland but form figures of 311 since joining James Owen and 2-2 since returned to turf back in cheekpieces; an 8lb rise will make life tougher but she's shortlisted having been taken out on account of rain-softened ground last weekend. |
7/2 |

1st 5 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
10st 6lb |
0-22 in Ireland, but has done well since joining James Owen, finishing a close third of seven at Southwell (6f, AW) last month (form worked out well) before getting off the mark at Yarmouth (6f, good) on Tuesday; 5lb penalty may not stop her, especially with Henry Callan's record this year reading 3112116114. |

9st 13lb |
Four-time course winner (three over C&D); went close over 5f in December; form has been uneven since then but managed a solid third in a claimer last time; has a bit to find with Rattletheonionbag on running here a month ago. |

Four-time course winner (three over C&D); went close over 5f in December but not at same level since, including when beaten 8l here last time (6f); not the best weighted here but Sadhbh Tormey's claim brings him into it. |

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. |

8st 11lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he returned to form when second of six at Bath (5f, good) recently; however, he may prove vulnerable in this hotter contest. |

4th May 2026 Firm 0m 5f 10y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
In good form in the second half of 2025, winning three 5f handicaps (Tapeta twice and good to soft); last month's return to action at Newmarket should have sharpened him up but ground this lively will be a first. |
12/1 |

5th 4 (8) |
14th Apr 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 3 |
9st 3lb |
Below best in Ireland in the first half of 2025 but in good heart for this trainer in the autumn, winning three over 5f on AW and turf; has inevitably gone back up the weights but he ran an excellent second, despite some interference, when runner-up in the 3yo Dash at Epsom in 2024 off this mark and that was strong 5f form; respected. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; began the new campaign with a neck second over 7f at Dundalk; has failed to reproduce that form in two subsequent appearances and is now dropped in trip; placed only once from nine Navan runs. |

Most recent of her six wins gained at Laytown last September; 1-17 at this venue; given plenty to do finishing strongly for neck second last month, with Alex Belardo 2l back in fourth; that rival turned the tables on her two weeks ago. |
