15th Oct 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Effective at 5f-6f but vast majority of best form has come on good ground; is well handicapped and is a C&D winner but the forecast rain is not in his favour. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Won this two years ago and a slow start was no help when fifth last year; won twice this season and had been holding his form until a quiet run behind some of these a fortnight ago; usually dependable and could be dangerous should the first-time cheekpieces trigger something. |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Three Curragh wins include two premier handicaps at 5f and has added two wins this season at Naas; holding his form well, including Scurry fourth to Sondad and staying on fourth to Bear On The Run under top-weight over today's C&D; booking of talented 7lb claimer could prove a shrewd move. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
C&D winner and beaten only a neck by Gazelle d'Or in this last year; returns off a 9lb higher mark, but better than ever this year and his latest run at Cork (Listed) can be forgiven. |
16/1 |

8th 1 (3) |
30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Better than ever on turf this year, notably over C&D when winning Listed (beating Likedbymike) in June and good third under top-weight in handicap following month; ground on the quick side when unable to mount a challenge in Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot earlier this month but back to favoured C&D and on easier ground seems sure to make a bold bid. |
11/2 |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with a win in a handicap in Bahrain (5f, good); he has raised his game on turf this summer, winning a Listed race at Cork (5f, good; cheekpieces first time) in June; the cheekpieces were absent when he was a fine third in a Cork handicap two weeks ago, doing best of the far-side group, and another big run seems likely. |

Dual turf winner (both over 5f), latest at Chepstow in May (good to soft); good 2l third over C&D last week (good to soft) and one to consider. |

3rd 5 (5) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 5f 15y Class 3 |
9st 2lb |
Two wins since joining Tony Carroll, the latter in a small-field Class 4 at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) in May; solid effort from a less-than-ideal draw in the Epsom Dash in June; slow start compromised his chance at Sandown but he couldn't be discounted off this mark. |

9st 2lb |
Has been in career-best form this season, winning back-to-back handicaps over 5f here and at Down Royal before just failing in Rockingham Handicap at the Curragh; holding her form well but tougher test now back in Listed company. |

Has been in career-best form this season, winning back-to-back handicaps over 5f at Cork (good) and Down Royal (soft) before just failing to catch Genesis in the Rockingham Handicap over C&D in June; returned to handicap company at Cork last time when a creditable fifth (1.75l behind the winner Ipanema Queen); claimer is yet to win from 15 starts. |

9st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; all five wins have come on the AW at 6f/7f; good third here over 6f on penultimate; last of 24 in Curragh premier handicap last month; on ratings has a big chance but might struggle over this trip. |
3/1 |

13th Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

3rd 1 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

All five wins have come on the AW, including twice over C&D last winter; encouraging turf return at Newmarket in May hasn't been built on, cheekpieces tried last time now ditched; back on favoured surface but races off 15lb higher mark. |

Thrown in on last year's Irish form; yet to shine for current stable and would appeal more over a shorter trip and with headgear on; only of interest if backed. |

Five-time winner on turf but 0-13 on the AW; won at Bellewstown (5f, soft) last October but he's struggled since, including in three starts for this stable (5f-1m); drops in grade but best watched. |

26th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Often goes well at this track and won here on soft (goes on anything) in April when only 1lb lower; well beaten on last visit in June but has a fair record when fresh, so hard to rule out. |

14th 5 (6) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |
8/1 |

5th 5 (3) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

3yo filly has been kept busy this season; won at Dundalk in April and at the Curragh in June off 71; hasn't troubled the judge of late, favourite at latter venue on latest when showing good speed for long way; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces (not latest) and drops in grade so respected. |

Regained the winning thread over C&D two weeks ago when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; has gone up 6lb but rider's 7lb claim negates that; should give another good account. |
