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. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her return from the AW to finish a close third in Fairyhouse conditions event (6f, good) in June; not at same level later in month in Curragh Listed and good bit to find with Fregada on that run. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Likeable mare ran a cracking race on her seasonal return in a median auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good) when just 0.5l behind the winner Tango Flare; rated just 92, however, so looks to be out of her depth in this grade (failed to trouble the judge in three previous runs in stakes company). |

Eight-time winner including three on turf; won off 87 at Navan last August (6f, yielding); well-beaten when last seen at Dundalk in February; has gone well fresh before so worth a market check on return. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |
66/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
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. |
25/1 |

6th 3 (9) |
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. |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Had been running well before a below par effort at the Curragh last time over an inadequate 5f; runner up over C&D last year off 8lb higher; could bounce back. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Solid form in four runs on turf since an unproductive spell on AW; needs to find extra on the evidence of last Saturday's third at Limerick; previous third at this venue was over 7f. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 3 |
9st 11lb |
Won three times last autumn (5f, AW/good to soft) and has run some solid races in defeat this year, including at Goodwood (soft) latest 75 days ago; a positive jockey booking and the recent rain was welcomed. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
9st 6lb |
Did well for new yard last autumn, winning three times (5f, AW/good to soft), and he has run some solid races in defeat in 2026; this will be just his third run at 6f and others bring more pressing claims. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Three wins to his name from 22 starts; solid back-to-back placed efforts over 5f at Naas and the Curragh before finishing down the field over 6f on latest; blinkered for the first time. |
10/1 |

11th 4 (21) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Two-time winner has posted solid back-to-back efforts over 5f at Naas and here last week (short head behind Soulful Diva); return to 6f looks a plus and place claims at least again off unchanged mark. |

3rd 4 (2) |
16th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Two-time turf winner in 2024, including over C&D; good AW run last winter and fine return from over three months' absence when second at Naas last month off reduced mark (third has won since); definite player. |

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. |
33/1 |

7th 2 (3) |
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. |
