10st 0lb |
Won a 6f Curragh maiden (good) on debut; has run creditably without winning in stakes company since; beaten 4.5l on first try at 1m in a listed race at the Curragh on seasonal comeback two weeks ago; should improve for that and not discounted on handicap debut. |

9st 5lb |
Surprise debut winner of 6f maiden here last summer but bit exposed in stakes company afterwards, each time staying on as if a step up in trip will suit (not clear run at Dundalk final start); gelded over the winter and step up in trip should suit but others may have greater scope for improvement. |

16th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring. |
100/1 |

7th 4 (7) |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time winner including a rated race last June over C&D (good); promising effort on seasonal return over C&D when 3l fifth to stablemate The Lion In Winter in the Listed Heritage Stakes, half a length behind Tokenomics and just in front of Lord Massusus; rated 100 and improvement is required. |
11/2 |

5th 5 (5) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Consistent in handicaps and conditions races at around 1m/1m1f last season; only once out of the first four in his nine 2024 starts, three wins, including over C&D; has never run in a stakes race and will need to raise his game to score at this level. |

26th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Ex-Irish; not a regular winner, but ran a sound race when 2.5l fourth over C&D earlier this month (good); only a pound higher than when winning at Newmarket last autumn (7f, good to soft); place chance. |
7/1 |
|
17th 9 (20) |
15th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo whose form for new stable features a success at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last autumn and creditable fourth-place finishes in last two outings (7.5f/1m); again has frame possibilities. |
10/1 |
|
4th 8 (7) |
7th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo whose came good at the second attempt for Roger Fell in 7f Newmarket handicap (good to soft) last backend; has returned with respectable efforts on AW and turf in recent months and now only 1lb above the mark he defied at Newmarket; cheekpieces are refitted for the first time in Britain. |

10st 2lb |
Sole win came in a Bellewstown maiden last summer; third of eight in Ballinrobe claimer on final start for Noel Meade in June but low-key yard debut in Killarney claimer since. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 40y |
9st 8lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year but regressive this season and claimed out of Noel Meade's yard for 8,000 euros at Ballinrobe last month after front-running third over 9.5f; cheekpieces replace visor here. |

3rd 4 (1) |
23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 163y |
9st 7lb |
Won 1m Bellewstown maiden last year, earning an initial rating of 80; regressive this season and has now slumped to a career-low 66; fair run from out of the handicap at Naas three starts ago; vulnerable on the balance of handicap form; however, she is suited by the race conditions; cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) may help. |

Out of form for Jessica Harrington last year; no sign of a revival in two runs this term; this looks too demanding. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Maiden winner here at 2 (good) but struggled in handicaps in first half of last season for Jessica Harrington and never counted on yard debut here in October on heavy; handicapper relenting but still on a high enough mark; wide draw a negative. |

Sole win for Ado McGuinness came in a 7f Down Royal nursery in September 2024; uneven form last year; needs to improve from stable debut at the Curragh in March. |

Sole win for Ado McGuinness came in a 7f Down Royal nursery in September 2024; ran well on soft ground at the Galway festival last August and 2lb lower now; off since September but worth a market check on first start for Noel Meade. |

Winner over 7f at Down Royal on handicap debut last autumn; uneven form this season; creditable fourth in the race won by Tilani from Flying Fortress here at the festival; last week's Gowran sixth was a shade disappointing. |
