12th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 7y |
10st 0lb |
Triple Listed winner, including at Limerick and Newmarket (awarded race) in 2024; not discredited off hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June before set tall task in a Group 2 there in July; lesser run in the Petingo latest (1m5f, good to yielding); mark remains high and blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time Listed winner including here over 1m6f and this time last year awarded 2m Newmarket contest (soft) after winner failed drug test; not discredited under hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June and following month tough enough task when fourth of 7 in Group 2 Curragh Cup; back in handicap company but remains vulnerable. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 16y |

Three-time Listed winner at 12.5f-2m on good and soft ground; two defeats from two starts in 1m6f and 1m4f premier handicaps at this venue this season, though wasn't beaten far after being hampered last time; rated 107, stamina is assured and while lots more needed to win, he holds place claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 10y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
8yo who has been beaten 23 times since his last win in September 2024 and failed to threaten at the Curragh three weeks ago; however, prior to that this Irish raider was second at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) behind a subsequent Royal Ascot winner, and he's in the picture on that form. |
15/2 |

5th 10 (2) |
28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Seven-time winner, including this race off 8lb higher in 2024; no joy last season but back to form with 2.25l second behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Opportunity in class 2 handicap at Carlisle 29 days ago (1m3f, gd-fm); big chance if building on that run. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 (1) |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Irish-trained 8yo, on a long losing sequence; not entirely disgraced when fourth of ten at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; others have more potential but he's certainly well treated on his best form. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Hasn't won since Group 3 C&D win over two years ago; pick of four runs this term when unlucky in running fifth (beaten only 1.5l) here over 1m4f; hood didn't work at Galway latest and now left off. |
25/1 |
|

1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Former Group 3 winner who isn't handicapped out of contention and he didn't get the breaks when fifth to Fleetfoot at the Curragh most recently; could be dangerous in the new hood. |
10/1 |
|
3 (15) |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
One of two for yard; enjoyed a purple-patch in 2023 when winning three in a row (including a Listed race over C&D); lost way subsequently but signs of life when beaten just 3.25l here last month (1m2f, good); promising rider takes off 7lb; likes quick ground; could go well. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Officially unraced on firmer than good; ex-Polish and German, placed in 1m2f Group races in 2024 before a 260,000euros sale; failed to fire last year (including one 2m1f race) but shaped nicely on second start this term and landed a gamble in clearcut fashion in 24-runner handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good) on latest, challenging 2f out; he was ridden that day as if stamina is a strength and, despite his revised mark, is one to note. |
12/1 |
|
1st 9 (1) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Four-time winner in Poland at up to 1m4f and placed in German Group 1 and Italian Group 2 in 2024; not fired since joining current yard, but his run at Cork last time when running on for seventh (1m3f, good to yielding) was eye-catching; check market. |
33/1 |

7th 10 (16) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |
9st 2lb |
Four-time winner in Poland at up to 1m4f and placed in German Group 1 and Italian Group 2 in 2024; not fired since joining current yard in seven starts, most recently quite valuable Curragh handicap early this month; plummeting mark so don't ignore and market worth a look. |

1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Lightly raced maiden winner; only sixth in a French Listed race two runs ago, but on either side of that she went close on handicap debut at Cork (1m2f, soft) and met with serious interference when behind some of these at the Curragh (1m4f, good); on a competitive mark and might yet be capable of better. |
6/1 |
|
5 (8) |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Won a 1m2f (good) fillies' maiden at Leopardstown last year under Colin Keane; went close on handicap debut and seasonal return at Cork in April (10.5f, soft, Keane on again) and 2lb higher here; held in Listed company latest and stamina a query at this trip. |

Five-time winner at 1m2f-1m5f; quick ground fine and was beaten a neck when second in this race last year off 91; just 1lb higher now and shaped nicely enough on return from a break over 1m2f (good) here on latest; will strip fitter now and big player. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Progressive handicapper this year, winning premier handicap over C&D in June and won at Gowran last month over same trip; well-backed but didn't seem to stay (keen) in 1m6f Ebor on latest when cheekpieces tried (now left off); upped in grade here and needs to improve. |
25/1 |
|
14th 21 (15) |
23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; narrow win at the Curragh in June and he's continued the good work with his never-nearer fourth of 18 at the Galway festival and a more decisive win at Gowran Park ten days ago; they were all over about 1m4f (unraced beyond that on Flat) but 1m6f makes appeal and first-time cheekpieces might sharpen him up, including in the early stages; better is needed under his penalty but he's one to consider. |
33/1 |

1st 2 (3) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |
8st 13lb |
Last year's winner has dropped to 4lb below that winning mark following some poor runs in the interim; but has also run with credit, including when keeping on for a 4.25l fourth at Galway on his penultimate run; not ruled out back to the scene of his victory. |
10/1 |

6th 4 (2) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner; shaped quite well at the Curragh three runs back (1m2f); badly hampered at the same venue in race won by Fleetfoot; stayed on from off the pace in Galway event in which Fleetfoot was fourth; may get closer. |
12/1 |
|
13 (18) |
1st Aug 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |

Exposed five-time winner who was quite eyecatching at the Curragh two runs back (1m2f) and met with further trouble in Fleetfoot's race back there a month ago; has a tricky draw to contend with. |

Five-time AW winner is 0-11 on turf but has run well in defeat; excellent efforts last twice at Leopardstown (a neck behind Cloud Seeker) and here, both over 1m2f on good; this is his optimum trip and he holds leading claims. |

Five-time Dundalk winner with the last four wins coming over 1m4f; cracking run behind Cloud Seeker at Leopardstown (1m2f) earlier this month; up 1lb but may have more to give for his new yard and not ruled out, despite ideally needing a bit further. |

Won three handicaps on the trot in May/June last year at 7f-1m1f for Michael Halford; consistent runs this term; well backed at Galway when staying on but not involved (1m4f, yielding); caused interference in the Petingo at Leopardstown latest but stayed on nonetheless without landing a blow; tongue tie on now and this trip can help him. |

Latest of three Flat wins for Jessica Harrington was off 84 last summer; improved of late over hurdles; mild promise when sixth at Bellewstown and then 22-1, dropped in grade to beat geldings at Wexford; needs proper good ground and trainer admits she's unpredictable. |
