28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Won over C&D at this meeting in 2024 off 15lb higher; that win came on yielding and his last win came on heavy so while well handicapped, could probably do with a drop of rain. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 1lb |
Five wins for Joe Murphy, latest of them over 1m1f at Tipperary in October; big prices and has shown little in four starts for this yard; mark tumbling, but prefers it soft and will be of more interest when the rain returns. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; yet to find his form for this stable; reduced rating now (4lb below his last winning mark) but needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition again. |

12th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 125y |
9st 10lb |
Twice a winner last season; mixed bag this term, standout effort when coming from way back to finish third to Kashel Spring (Its All Peachy second) at Punchestown last month; six days later didn't count on heavy ground at Listowel (1m); has to be considered back on better ground, with this longer trip likely to suit. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 80y |
9st 13lb |
Dependable last season in contrast to her profile this year; shaped as if she was becoming competitive again when fifth of 15 at Leopardstown last month; did not give her apprentice rider much help at Punchestown last week, ran on well late, |
6/1 |

3rd 2 (9) |
16th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 58y |

A very dependable performer last season in marked contrast to her profile this year; however, she has come down 16lb from a career high of 92; shaped as if she was becoming competitive again when fifth of 15 at Leopardstown last month |

One of his five wins came over 7f at this track in 2024; lost his form at the end of last year, and this trip is new; encouraging display when sixth of 17 (Dark Summit, eighth) over a shorter trip here on Tuesday. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |

Won as a 2yo on the Flat; some decent efforts in defeat mixing both codes lately but needs to find more on this second handicap hurdle start. |

30th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |

Flat winner on heavy ground; 0-4 over hurdles but some decent efforts all the same; proved she handles better ground when not too far away in fourth at Downpatrick in a rated novice hurdle last time (2m2f, good); can't be dismissed. |

0-18 but runner-up in three Irish 6f handicaps this year (turf/AW); joined this respected yard for 20,000gns; considered. |
5/1 |

6th 1 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y |
9st 13lb |
Three second this year include two in 6f handicaps at the Curragh; however, disappointing in last two races (5f maiden/7f handicap) and now 0-17; these terms aren't favourable, either. |

18th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 45y |

Prominent racer finished runner-up in two 6f large-field Curragh handicaps in April/May but failed to cope with the drop in trip in 5f Dundalk maiden last month; should be competitive back over a more suitable trip. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 110y |
8st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner is 0-22 on turf but has placed on multiple occasions; not beaten far on last turf start at Leopardstown last month (1m, good) and kept on steadily for a 3.5l sixth of 14 over 10.5f at Dundalk latest; eased another 1lb and becoming well handicapped; chance. |
12/1 |

6th 12 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
8st 11lb |
Two-time C&D winner, most recently last November off 2lb lower; running okay in defeat on turf in recent starts over inadequate trips and this hold up sort could get a nice pace to aim at on return to the AW; not out of this. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (5) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Three wins on AW, but 0-21 on turf; did well at Dundalk over the winter and carried that form through to soft-ground contests in the spring; second over 7f at Naas and fourth over 1m2f here in April (strong form); not so good since; likes to come from off the pace, and there wasn't enough on when he was fourth (only 7-2) at Killarney on Monday. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 40y |
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. |

6th 8 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 211y |
9st 9lb |
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. |

10st 0lb |
Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |

5th 18 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |

Ground-versatile sort has hit form lately, winning over 1m2f at Navan and carrying a 7lb penalty at Killarney over just short of this trip; up another 4lb but has run well in defeat at this track and looks a player. |

Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel; below best this season until finding her form again when second over C&D in June; winner Thatwilldso has franked the form with Galway second and Sligo win; longer trip here should be fine and ground-versatile. |

11th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Nothing like her best form in ten races since a 1m2f Ballinrobe win last June; unappealing in a sprint handicap at this stage of her career, although she won a maiden at around 6f at two. |
