Only one win from 20 starts; runner-up five times; encouraging C&D comeback fourth last month puts her in the mix although has a bit to find with Hugo's Girl on that run. |

15th 4 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Consistent handicapper last season; last win came at Galway festival over 1m on soft in July; good effort over C&D when short head second in Irish Cambridgeshire in August; acts on all ground; last two hurdle runs of limited significance and should be fitter than most after them. |

Has a modest win record but usually runs well in defeat; won at Galway and fine runs since including in the Cambridgeshire here; 7f was maybe a bit too short last time but has to be considered back to 1m. |

Two C&D wins last season on good and heavy ground; yet to hit top gear this term but has slipped 4lb below his last success and hinted that he might be coming back to form at Ballinrobe on latest; not discounted. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 163y |

AW and two-time turf winner whose last success came over C&D (good) last August off 9lb lower; may have needed latest run over 1m4f here after 105 days off so may take a step forward now dropped back in trip with that run under his belt. |

Three wins have been over shorter trips, including here last summer (1m1f, good); only caught late over this trip on AW over the winter so has to be considered on turf return. |

Course winner at 1m was reeled in close to home in a C&D handicap three weeks ago; well held by Genoah and Take Heart on previous start over 10.5f; could get closer at this distance with rider taking off 10lb. |

Five wins from 52 starts but none since April 2024; weak form last season and bar one okay run on penultimate at Gowran, that trend has continued in three outings this term. |

|
11th 5 (7) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Best known as a three-time Curragh winner; five wins in all, none since April 2024; weak form last season; well supported at Navan (6f) on seasonal/stable debut but was always behind and finished last; signs of a return to form here on latest but held by Miss Americana and Hell Let Loose. |

8st 9lb |
Bookended last season with 7f wins at Naas (yielding) in July and at the Curragh in September (soft); two Curragh runs this term have been underwhelming but he has dropped down to 4lb above his last winning mark; new headgear combination tried now. |
22/1 |

13th 6 (11) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Very progressive in handicaps last season, two of his three wins coming here over 7f on ground with an ease; latest came in September when beating subsequent winner Tokenomics by 0.75l; may have hit his ceiling judged on return effort in Irish Lincoln (finished 14th) but could easily step forward for that. |
18/1 |

16th 10 (26) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner last year; solid form at 1m this season and won impressively at Limerick (1m, good) on latest off 8lb lower; drawn wide but that shouldn't be an issue given his run style; career high mark but there could be more to come. |

Eight-time winner (placed 20 times) who marked his 100th appearance with a fair sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse recently, one place in front of today's rival Jazzy Dancer; almost two years since his last win; might struggle to record another success in the closing stages of his career. |

9st 8lb |
Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 (7f, good); signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel next time; failed to see out 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown on latest but definite player at his best. |

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 over 7f on good; signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel 11 days ago; step up in trip should suit but becoming hard to predict. |
