15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 0lb |
Below par in heritage handicap at York on latest but previously ran well in defeat in a premier handicap at the Curragh; AW debutant is bred to act on this surface (half-brother to two AW winners and dam won on AW) so could bounce back. |

11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins on soft going last season and he's been placed in big-field handicaps at Cork (10.4f, good to yielding) and the Curragh (1m2f, good) on his last two starts; each-way shout if fast ground isn't an issue. |

9st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner won off 2lb higher at Ballinrobe last year (1m2f, good) and returned to the same race in May when an okay fourth of nine; something seemingly went wrong when pulled up over hurdles at Clonmel in May; others appeal more. |

11st 7lb |
Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on recent Flat runs but ran a cracker over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if converting that back to this sphere. |

Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

3rd 1 (1) |

Strike-rate of 3-63 but has been running well and latest third at the Curragh (1m, good to firm) warrants an upgrade; has form on all surfaces. |

3rd 11 (2) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
One of two for trainer; all three wins have come here, including one over C&D; 8lb below his last winning mark from 2024; good placed form on good ground over 1m here in June and at Killarney and Gowran last month; yielding to soft ground a possible excuse when disappointing at Galway last time; he could have a big run in him with Keane aboard for the first time. |

9st 13lb |
Maiden whose best runs have come over 7f-1m; good second on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (1m, good) but bombed out at Killarney on latest (reportedly clinically abnormal post-race); a hood now goes on; risky. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
9st 8lb |
Came good at the third attempt when beating two market leaders in a 1m2f maiden on good ground at Navan in June; set a tough task in a Group 3 race at Naas later that month; her sights are lowered considerably, and she appeals as a relatively unexposed filly in her first handicap. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 84y |

Best run for this yard was when runner-up over 1m1f in a Leopardstown handicap last summer (soft); lost form after that and was well beaten on his seasonal return last month at Leopardstown; visor goes on and has been given a chance at the weightings but you'd like to see more positive recent form. |
