9st 8lb |
Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern. |

Gained a second win over this trip at Leopardstown last season and successful over 1m since; back to form with 1l defeat at Gowran in July but couldn't build on that a fortnight ago; should be suited by the surface and Patrick Mullins is an eyecatching jockey booking; interesting contender despite not looking particularly well treated at present. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 6lb |
Wonderfully durable handicapper with 11 wins to his name, the latest being on his favoured soft ground at Roscommon in September; returned to form at that track two starts back, where he handled good ground, and fine run at Limerick (yielding) last month when narrowly beaten by an in-form 3yo; easier ground would be ideal, but still the one to beat. |

Two wins in 2024 but has been in the handicapper's grip since; not a bad run at Fairyhouse latest (1m2f, good) but still beaten 8l and didn't look to be crying out for this longer trip; down in grade but others appeal more. |

Five-time winner (two on turf) effective at 1m-1m4f; had been running well on the AW this year before a poor effort on testing ground at the Curragh when last seen in April; this ground more suitable and has gone well fresh, but yet to win off this high a mark. |
