6th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Battled well to beat Little Queenie (gave 13lb) over C&D in June and back to that level of form when just denied at Bellewstown last week after racing up with the pace; big player. |

Battled well to win at Navan in June off 2lb higher, safely held twice since in bigger fields at the Curragh; down in grade so don't rule out though best efforts have been over stiffer tracks. |

Eight-time winner including four over C&D, most recently in December off 90; below best in conditions event back at 5f on latest, return to this trip and handicap ranks should suit. |

Eight-time winner including over C&D; scored off 90 in a 6f handicap here on latest in December and is now rated 95; gets the mares' allowance and her rider's 7lb claim brings her right into this on the figures; not discounted. |

9st 12lb |
Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

4th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Just five runs last year but won a Listed race at Naas over this trip in October before a disappointing run in France, even allowing for a less than smooth passage; can run well if back to his best. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Has become hard to win with since landing a Group 3 as a 3yo but it was a good run in a deep Ascot handicap last time (5f, good to soft) and returning to further should suit (second in this 12 months ago); solid chance. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 60y |
9st 7lb |
Last win was in late 2024, but was second over 7f at last year's Galway festival and some good AW runs over the winter; has much lower mark on turf. |
14/1 |

11th 1 (4) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Without a win since landing two in a row on the Dundalk Polytrack (6f/7f) in late 2024, and below par there in February last time; however, he's produced some positive performances this winter and has edged back down the weights; might not be far away. |
6/1 |

8th 4 (5) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Four-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 7f in December 2024 off 94; creditable runs over same trip this winter but below best in first-time cheekpieces in valuable Newcastle handicap on latest; remains high enough in the weights but possibly the pick of the yard's trio of runners. |

14th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
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. |
14/1 |

2nd 3 (2) |
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. |

10st 0lb |
C&D maiden winner in 2023; added two 5f turf wins in 2024; very encouraging third back from a break over C&D in February under this rider; didn't look the easiest mount for a 10lb claimer last time when hanging; he's 11lb lower than his last winning mark and Coen back aboard is a plus. |

6th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Won a C&D maiden in 2023, and added two turf 5f wins in 2024; last month's third over 5f was encouraging after a break; every chance with 10lb claimed. |

Useful sprint handicapper on turf; sprung a 66-1 shock when beating Powerful National in a 5f Group 3 race at Dundalk last October; no sign of anything remotely comparable in four runs since February. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Three turf wins including over C&D last September and biggest win came following month in Dundalk Group 3; yet to hit that sort of form in three starts this year in Listed contests; back in handicap company now. |
