9st 8lb |
Galway winner for Dermot Weld last summer; first win for new stable (third attempt) when comfortably seeing off 12 rivals at Newbury last week (1m, good) and he escapes a penalty for that apprentice-race success; of obvious interest dropped into a Class 6. |

9st 7lb |
Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form. |

Won C&D maiden on this card last year on debut for the Cromwell yard and later added Listowel win on heavy; goes well fresh so has to be respected given his record here. |

3yo has won twice this season, including on latest at Listowel (8.5f, heavy) off 4lb lower (Quatre Bras 0.75l behind); ground conditions fine and should go well again if proving as effective on this track. |

Both wins last year came on soft and heavy ground; fair fourth on good at Roscommon last time, and this ground should be fine for him. |

Both wins last year came on soft and heavy ground; ran well on heavy at the Curragh on penultimate but wasn't as good on yielding at Limerick latest; needs rain. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 3lb |
Won two handicaps last season; below best on seasonal return in Irish Lincolnshire but much better on latest back at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) when a 4l fifth of 21; dropped 1lb for that but may need softer ground than this. |

Sole win for Ado McGuinness came in a 7f Down Royal nursery in September 2024; uneven form last year; needs to improve from stable debut at the Curragh in March. |

Sole win for Ado McGuinness came in a 7f Down Royal nursery in September 2024; ran well on soft ground at the Galway festival last August and 2lb lower now; off since September but worth a market check on first start for Noel Meade. |

Maiden ran well in a couple of handicaps last year off higher marks; usual blinkers left off for seasonal return; good draw and a contender if forward enough on seasonal return. |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

No wins in ten but he's getting there in handicaps and hasn't been all that far away in his last three (at about 1m; good or soft); respected; blinkers return. |

17th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; career-best form since November features two wins at Dundalk and a fourth-place finish in the Irish Lincolnshire; better again in the Spring Mile at Doncaster last time when a runner-up off 1lb lower (1m, good to soft); big chance with ground to suit. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Well beaten at Newmarket last month (7f, good; has won at that trip in the past) but he failed to settle and didn't look at home on the track; prior to that he kept on strongly to go very close at Musselburgh (5f, soft) on his stable debut and he remains one to be interested in. |
10/1 |

17th 13 (11) |
16th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Dual 7f (good/good to yielding) winner in Ireland who was soon outpaced before coming home strongly to be beaten a whisker in 5f Scottish Sprint Cup (soft) 12 days ago; that was a really encouraging first go for Jim Goldie and this step back up to 7f should be fine; has to be of interest. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 13 (3) |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Previously trained in Ireland, winning twice (7.5f/7f) in 2025 before changing hands for 31,000gns; has to prove his effectiveness over a sharp 5f, although his new stable does have a tremendous knack with sprinters. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |

9st 7lb |
Has never finished closer than eighth in 11 starts and was tailed off in her final two runs (1m4f/10.3f, AW) in Ireland; has lots to prove for new yard and she's untried on Tapeta; cheekpieces worn last time are removed. |

9st 11lb |
Has been busy this year and was fit from AW when winning over 1m at the Curragh in March; touched off on her return there before disappointing when favourite at Gowran; has made the running on her two most recent starts; may find a few too good again. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (7) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
9st 4lb |
Been busy this year and was fit from AW when winning over 1m at the Curragh in March; touched off on her return there before disappointing when favourite at Gowran; fourth over this trip on AW last time after making the running, and not sure she wants to go this far. |
14/1 |

4th 1 (5) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 2lb |
Won her third race on turf when taking 1m Curragh handicap (heavy) in March before a close second there next time; disappointing favourite at Gowran on latest; 0-7 on AW but has run well on the surface and has to be taken seriously from 19lb lower AW mark. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Won twice this year (post wind surgery) for Ivan Furtado, keeping on well at Southwell (1m, Class 5; from 4lb lower) on penultimate start; not at his best at Wetherby (tenth) latest, but there's still a chance he can prove competitive from this revised mark. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Took his record to 2-3 since a wind operation when keeping on well in a 1m handicap at Southwell three weeks ago; up 4lb but he has shown comparable ability on turf and should give it another good go. |

27th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 96y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Unraced here; all three wins have been over about 7f, the latest at Leicester last month; 6f probably explains a lesser show last time and he has a chance judged on peak efforts. |

9th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; has been racing at about 7f for well over a year and he's run well in both attempts at that trip here, most recently when sticking his neck out for the win (good) last month; back up 3lb but on a fair mark still and used to have the speed for 6f; of interest. |
