9st 12lb |
C&D winner in 2023 three turf wins; light campaign this year but encouraging signs over C&D on latest when creditable fourth (1.5l off Star Harbour) in August; little bit to find with that rival, who has since gone close. |

9st 9lb |
Won this in 2023 and scored on turf last year; has to improve on recent runs but is now 3lb lower than for that last score so has to be considered from a good draw. |

Latest of four career wins came in this race last year off 1lb higher; two Curragh runs this term some way below best so needs to bounce back. |

9st 3lb |
Has a record of 3-5 at this track and ran well enough over 1m2.5f in a premier handicap last time; probably didn't get home over that trip after a wide passage and can do better today. |

Three course wins over 1m; best run this term when third at Leopardstown last time over 1m1f; this trip is a query but can be involved if staying. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 8lb |
Strike-rate of 3-63 but has been running well and latest third at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) warrants an upgrade; has form on all surfaces. |

3rd 11 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
One of two for trainer; all three wins have come here, including one over C&D; 8lb below his last winning mark from 2024; good placed form on good ground over 1m here in June and at Killarney and Gowran last month; yielding to soft ground a possible excuse when disappointing at Galway last time; he could have a big run in him with Keane aboard for the first time. |

All three wins have been gained at the Curragh and a large portion of his places too; good second over 1m at his favoured venue last month; has continued in good form with placed efforts at Killarney and Gowran. |

15th Aug 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Navan winner last summer (1m) but form this year so far poor, stone last on both recent outings; hard to be confident in and wide draw a negative. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |

Second reserve; Navan winner last summer but towards rear on all three runs this term; handicapper relenting but remains opposable. |

Three wins at shorter trips, including 1m Navan success last summer off 80; two runs over same trip in May leave him with lots to find although senior rider now takes over from inexperienced claimer. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 1m races (good) in Ireland last year, but hasn't seen his race out in three outings over that trip for Declan Carroll this spring; now drops to 7f for the first time since his debut. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Lightly raced 4yo who won two 1m races (good) in Ireland last year; has needed both runs for this yard but stepped up on reappearance when just ahead of the hampered City Of Poets over C&D a fortnight ago; another advance is possible but needed. |
16/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Pair of 1m wins on good ground in Ireland last summer, namely a Naas maiden (wore cheekpieces) and Curragh handicap (visored); low-mileage new recruit for Declan Carroll but he'll need to leave last month's Newmarket reappearance with a tongue-tie added (retained) well behind to play a leading role here. |

11st 12lb |
Sole win in 14 starts on Flat came here over 1m on good last month off 75; set to finish a decent third on hurdles debut at Tipperary in October; that form entitles him to be considered. |

30th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on five occasions; had become expensive to follow before beating Earls narrowly at Killarney, justifying good market support; has gone up 8lb, but his confidence may have been boosted by the breakthrough win. |

1st 5 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 3lb |
Maiden has finished second five times, twice at Ballinrobe and three times at Leopardstown; on second start of the season, was backed at latter venue when front-running second over 1m1f; that was on soft to heavy, but he's fine on good; doesn't have to lead, but mightn't be much competition for it here. |

12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Progressive handicapper with four wins this term equally divided between Tipperary and Leopardstown; progression halted behind Pink Oxalis at latter venue on latest and now steps up to Listed class. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Winner of three of her last four races, two of them at this venue; up 6lb for last month's C&D success achieved at the main expense of Aviatrice (first reserve); same apprentice aboard now. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Progressive handicapper with 1m1f wins this term at Tipperary (twice) and here last month, keen and leading halfway; week later again took a hold in tactical 4-runner affair here when only third; bigger field and more truly-run race should suit back at 1m. |
