9st 9lb |
Seven wins over 5f and 6f generally on good ground; won off 97 in a 6f handicap here last time (good); his mark of 104 is a career high but he will need to improve again now entering stakes company. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
One of three for yard; six-time winner, the last three of which have come at the Curragh; testing ground a valid excuse for poor run at that venue on seasonal return but remains 4lb above last win and may need more help from the handicapper. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of three for yard; loves it here, as is evidenced by his three C&D victories; returns to action 6lb above his last win and has tended to improve for his seasonal reappearances in the past so might need this but can't totally discount given his liking for this venue. |

Useful sprinter won twice last year over 5f at Cork but has been absent since that last success in July; previously won a C&D maiden and is off a 6lb lower AW mark so has to be considered even though he lacks a recent run. |

Five AW wins and two turf wins have been at Navan over 5f; last year's highlight was fine third in Rockingham here; absent since October and may just need this. |

6th 6 (8) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
5-13 on AW including this race in 2021; respectable effort when fourth in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July (5f, good); a neck behind Black Forza when fourth over C&D latest (4lb better off now); needs more stepped back up in grade. |

Five-time course winner including a C&D Group 3; beaten 3.25l off 99 on last AW start in July; decent runs in defeat since including a 3.25l fourth in the Sapphire Stakes; a bit to find on the figures but should run a solid race. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark. |

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. |

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. |

9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 13lb |
Prolific AW performer gained a first turf success in emphatic fashion at Navan on latest (5f, gd-yld) under this rider, making virtually all for a 2.25l win; this longer trip fine but raised 10lb and this is a tougher race. |

On a 16-race losing streak but shaped well on a number of occasions, including on return 7 days ago when beaten 1.75l by Glory To Be at Leopardstown on yielding; has slipped to an attractive mark and a leading player if building on return. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Rated 108 in his prime so has dropped a long way, but won Scurry Handicap (beating Fort Vega and Back Down Under) here last summer and last month's Naas third (three of today's rivals behind) was a good effort; can't rule out. |
12/1 |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |

Two-time course winner including a Group 3 in 2023 and the Scurry handicap last year off 2lb higher; well beaten on seasonal return here (6f, heavy) behind Dmaniac; should strip fitter now but probably best over a bit further these days. |

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. |
