1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 40y |
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. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |

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. |

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. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 0f 0y |
9st 3lb |
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. |
20/1 |

Winner over 7f at Down Royal on handicap debut last autumn; uneven form this season; creditable fourth in the race won by Tilani from Flying Fortress here at the festival; last week's Gowran sixth was a shade disappointing. |

4th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Showed promise in four handicap starts around 1m on turf in Ireland for Johnny Murtagh last year; new connections went to 58,000euros to acquire him in November and are quick to step him up in trip (also AW debut); market confidence could prove significant. |
100/30 |

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

Beaten in three handicaps but two of those efforts can be upgraded, including Galway last time where he had to challenge wide (1m, soft); in the mix. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |

Lost his way last season after going close in a 1m handicap at Galway in August (yielding) off 4lb higher; perhaps the break and the added tongue tie will aid a return to form. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 2 (1) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 1lb |
Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |
10/1 |

9th 16 (5) |
24th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 100y |

Rounded off last term in with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy) and similar level of form on second start back when dead-heating for fourth with Quatre Bras in Leopardstown handicap over this trip nine days ago; respected. |

Modest Flat performer didn't run that badly in two previous maiden hurdles at Ballinrobe and Killarney but he's likely to be seen to better effect when tackling handicaps. |

12th 5 (5) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Winless in 18 starts for Noel Meade but built on pleasing penultimate run when easily winning over C&D last month on first run for this yard, keen early but allowed to dictate from the front in first-time hood (retained); contender raised 7lb. |

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. |

Shaped well in third maiden start at Galway; hasn't yet built on that in first two starts in handicaps; still relatively early days but others make more appeal for now. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 0f 98y |

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 |

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. |

Two of her maiden runs were promising based on current mark; however, her two recent handicap runs don't reflect that, finishing last of 15 at Galway (1m1f, soft) and 14l behind at Killarney (1m, soft) in cheekpieces. |
