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. |

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, |

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 |

Last win came in a C&D premier handicap in November 2024 (off 78); has dropped a long way in ratings since, 1m4f too far last time; not one to rule out back in trip with top apprentice booked. |

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. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 0lb |
Has very much come to form on his last two runs; winning a C&D handicap three weeks ago and proved the only danger to a good winner here last week; dropped 1lb for that effort and one of the ones to beat here. |
3/1 |
|
1st 11 (10) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 3lb |
Dual C&D winner was around 2l off Slieve Binnian on last visit here, but now 9lb lower, so marksman is givng him every chance if he can recapture best form; yard still a bit quiet. |
10/1 |

7th 5 (3) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 168y |

Three-time AW winner is 0-23 on turf but has been placed on five occasions; not beaten far on last turf start at Leopardstown in July (1m, good); kept on steadily for a 3.5l sixth of 14 over extended 1m1f at Dundalk last month; moderate run at Down Royal eight days later. |

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. |

Tenth win on the Flat when digging deep on soft to heavy at Bellewstown (1m4f) and doesn't need slow ground; however, she's in a lot deeper here with a 5lb rise to deal with. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 (11) |
30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 110y |
10st 4lb |
Won for the eighth time on turf when taking a 1m5f Ayr handicap last time and is also a C&D winner; raised 5lb for that but has won off a higher mark in the past and handles soft ground; player. |
4/1 |

18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row in July (1m2f/11.4f) and she's run pretty well in big fields on her last two starts, most recently fourth of 18 at Cork (1m4f); every chance that this extra furlong will be within range and she's won on ground from good through to heavy; this Irish raider could be in the mix. |

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. |
