31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
9st 4lb |
Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his ninth win when easily scoring over 1m6f at Sligo last time (yielding to soft), benefitting from a truly-run race; up 8lb but in the mix. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 8lb |
Veteran has done a bit of everything and recorded his eighth win when scoring over 2m on AW in March; poor run at Bellewstown last time but that was only a day after being placed at Dundalk; goes well at Ballinrobe and this track isn't dissimilar. |

28th May 2026 Good 1m 1f 210y |
10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |
11/2 |

1st 8 (17) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 46y |

Four-time winner is 2-19 on turf; 1lb lower than when winning at Down Royal last July (1m5f, good); stayed on well for second over 10.5f at Dundalk latest; player back on turf. |

Second runner for yard; has won here and regularly placed; however, recent efforts have been below-par and was behind Jawhary last time; others have stronger credentials. |

Wins last year came at Killarney and Dundalk; light campaign this year, most recently just denied over 1m5f at Tipperary in late August; 3lb higher so more needed. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |
|
6 (5) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
8/1 |
|
5 (1) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 11lb |
No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
9st 13lb |
Placed once in seven starts for Willie McCreery; her new trainer appears to have a better chance with Bhean Saibhre; tongue-tie for the first time |
14/1 |

18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Fair maiden form but yet to make her mark in handicaps, never competitive when a remote third at Tramore on latest in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by visor); more needed. |
10/1 |
|
3 (3) |
8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Fair maiden form; best of her three handicap runs when fifth over 2m at Listowel; needs to find extra after never-threatening Ballinrobe sixth; first time with cheekpieces. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Beaten a long way on turf in his last two races but he's much better on the AW and wasn't beaten far here in March; considered. |
13/2 |
|
13th 7 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 11lb |
Has a much better record on AW; three-time Dundalk winner, most recently over 2m last November; 1-28 on turf; towards the rear at Gowran last month. |
20/1 |

12th 5 (16) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

More effective at Dundalk; not beaten far in fourth in a 2m handicap there on latest; 1-27 record on turf is a negative. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Sole win came here last September (1m5f, good) but numerous placings include this term at Sligo; not much luck in running at Leopardstown on latest so remains of interest, especially given his record here. |
8/1 |
|
9th 10 (13) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 180y |
9st 10lb |
1-28 record is a concern; compiled a sequence of seconds; placed seven times in all, including at Sligo 12 days ago; senior rider aboard, with a very capable apprentice on the stable's other runner Eastern Wind; hard to be sure which one will prove best. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 (2) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 11lb |
Decent performer over this kind of trip; had four seconds (three for this rider) and a win last year and he's had a spin over hurdles to warm up; ground doesn't matter to him and should be thereabouts. |

Tough task at the weights in a claimer last time and was third in a handicap at Gowran (extended 1m1f) the run before; rarely wins, though. |

6th Aug 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 129y |

Record of 3-40 but has a mark of only 43 and can be opposed at these weights. |
