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. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish gelding whose good spell in 2024 featured a Group 3 win and who ran creditably a few times last year; seemed to need the run at Doncaster on stable/seasonal debut but has work to do to reverse placings with Aramram and Jasour. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 2y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Previously trained by Ger Lyons in Ireland; best efforts in 2025 when runner-up in Listed event and Group 3 at the Curragh (both 6f, good); changed hands for 250,000gns in the autumn; major player if cherry ripe on his first start for new connections and needs watching carefully in the market. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch at the backend of last season which included a win in this race; had been running well in defeat this season until failing to fire in the Group 1 Sprint Cup at Haydock; may be able to get back on track in these calmer waters, especially with rain forecast. |

Highly tried since 5f Navan debut win early last season; mark rose to a high 91 after she outran her 66-1 odds when 4 1/2l third of seven in a 5f Listed race at Naas in May; two weak runs since then; held by Carla Ridge on running last time; tongue-tie now |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Entering legendary course specialist status after adding a tenth win at the venue in a Listed race last time (6f, good); prior to that he won a C&D Listed contest in March (soft to heavy) when seeing off East Hampton by 1.5l; got closest to subsequent Group 1 winner Comanche Brave when a 2l second in a 6f Group 2 here on penultimate (good); always a danger around here and should go well again. |

1st 1 (5) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Gallant grey veteran is an eight-time course winner and no signs of slowing down this season; won Listed race here in March (7f, sft-hvy) and another cracking run when runner up in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes here in May (6f, good, Fregada 2.5l behind); goes on any ground, was fourth in this last year and another big run likely on the cards here. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 (9) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Splendid veteran showed he retained enthusiasm when winning the 7f Gladness Stakes in March, his ninth Curragh win on his 50th visit; found 5f too sharp at Naas last time; runs in this event for the fourth consecutive year, second at 25-1 in 2023, ninth in 2024, third behind James Delight at 33-1 last season; asking a lot now in a strong edition. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
A fairly useful ex-Irish 5f winner; yet to hit top form for his current yard but better signs when ninth of 14 in 5f Newcastle handicap three weeks ago; no forlorn hope off a 2lb lower mark if building on it. |
10/1 |

9th 8 (1) |
26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo; best run for current stable when ninth at Thirsk last month; the return to 5f/AW won't faze him but this looks a warm race in which to end his losing streak. |
33/1 |
|
9th 3 (13) |
31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
He's on a competitive mark on last season's best form for David Marnane but he was well beaten on his stable debut at York last October and it was the same outcome there this month on his return; he has plenty to prove. |

Pushed Nezeeh close at Bellewstown recently (5f, soft) in a handicap she won the previous year; only 1lb higher and Wesley Joyce takes off 3lb. |

2nd 7 (5) |
1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 3y |
9st 7lb |
Locally trained three-time C&D winner; won here on latest off 73 under Colin Keane and mark left unchanged; won't mind if it rains and she won this race last year off 1lb lower; obvious chance again. |
3/1 |
|
1st 4 (5) |
26th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 3y |
9st 7lb |
Both wins from the front over C&D, her local track, most recently last October off 72; quiet season so far (out of depth on first run) but sure to have been primed for her return to this track and Keane back on. |
4/1 |
