Two wins over extended 1m1f at Gowran last year (maiden/conditions race); failed to make an impact at Listed level next two starts over further; runner-up in Irish Lincoln on return; unplaced favourite for a 1m2f handicap last time; up against it at this level. |

Unplaced in Listed races over further on final two 2025 starts; this trip is more suitable. and he has been popular in the ante-post market. |

9st 10lb |
Third career win came on final start last season in 1m Listowel Listed in testing conditions under a positive ride (just a day after being well beaten in handicap); balance of form is over shorter than this so others preferred on seasonal return. |

23rd Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Top rated at 98 and mostly in good form this season; beaten 1.75l when second in a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap on latest in July; placed in listed company at Chester (12.5f soft) a year ago but this trip surely on the sharp side; fifth 4.20 here on Monday. |

9st 13lb |
Four-time winner but last win came two years ago; however, went close at Ballinrobe last time when stepped back up in trip to 1m5f and many of his better efforts have come on softer ground so this should be up his alley; interesting. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Emerged from a short break for second career win when made plenty of use of in Roscommon conditions event over this trip 13 days ago, clear of remainder in just holding off a strong favourite on soft ground; 10lb rise looks a bit harsh but will appreciate the ground. |

1st Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 63y |
9st 8lb |
Hasn't added to Gowran maiden win of last year, decent efforts twice in conditions events at same venue in June; below best in Curragh handicap latest but can't be ruled out in an open race. |

9st 6lb |
Meets Shiota and Mississippi River on better terms after they finished in front of him at Naas in April; best runs have come at Gowran including when winning a maiden there last October (1m, soft to heavy); returned to that venue last time when a shade disappointing after finishing third of four; appears to be stable second-string. |

One of two for yard; 3-15 and rated 103; gained a first win at this level in the Bluebell Stakes at Naas (1m4f, yielding) three weeks ago, leaving this year's earlier form well behind; 3lb penalty now but handles heavy ground and preferred by Foley. |

Dual winner last year including the valuable Gowran Classic over 1m2f; well below best in light 4yo campaign, most recently in Group 3 at same venue last month; blinkers replace visor here and tries this trip for the first time (jockey booking encouraging). |

24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Four-time winner but not since Irish Cambridgeshire win of 2024; definite encouragement on second start back off reduced mark without quite staying this trip at Leopardstown; blinkers now replace visor and now 11lb below career-high mark but stamina remains a concern at this trip. |

15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time winner; on a long losing sequence; towards the rear on seasonal debut at the Curragh; now 9lb below career-high mark but needs to show a spark of revival. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Smart sort is only 4-29 but has run well in defeat many times in quality races including when beaten 2.5l into fourth over C&D off 95 in October; this ground could be a bit too testing for him on return but the veteran could still go well. |
