17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Seven wins over 5f and 6f generally on good ground; won off 97 in a 6f handicap here last time (good); his mark of 104 is a career high but he will need to improve again now entering stakes company. |

1st 3 (12) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
One of three for yard; six-time winner, the last three of which have come at the Curragh; testing ground a valid excuse for poor run at that venue on seasonal return but remains 4lb above last win and may need more help from the handicapper. |
20/1 |

8th 2 (4) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
One of three for yard; loves it here, as is evidenced by his three C&D victories; returns to action 6lb above his last win and has tended to improve for his seasonal reappearances in the past so might need this but can't totally discount given his liking for this venue. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 5lb |
His five wins have all been over this trip, including a premier handicap over C&D last year; below form over 6f here last time but is capable off this mark and is ground-versatile so looks a player. |
7/1 |
|
17th 10 (21) |
14th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Highly progressive last year, winning four 5f handicaps and taking a big hike up the weights; yet to score this term but some encouraging signs, notably from York fourth on latest; reproduction would give him a chance of reversing previous form with Red Evolution and Sarahmae. |
12/1 |

4th 11 (8) |
20th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 89y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
He made giant strides as a 3yo, winning four 5f handicaps and soaring up the weights; both this season's efforts have been encouraging and this Irish raider shouldn't be passed over lightly. |

21st May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 16y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Turf winner (5f, good) in Ireland who scored at Southwell (6f, AW) on his stable debut in November; that 40-1 success hasn't been built on but this represents a drop back in grade; not confidently ruled out. |
3/1 |
|
9th 9 (7) |
8th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Quite useful on turf in Ireland; kept almost entirely to AW since moving to this yard in the autumn but he might well have been involved in the finish at Leicester (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago but for being pushed nearly over the rail a furlong out; interesting to see what he comes up with here. |
7/1 |
|
13th 13 (2) |
25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 6lb |
Won on stable debut at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) in November and he's posted some solid efforts since then; hard to rule out another good run but this is a step back up in grade and sole turf win was 19 months ago. |

Three-time winner over 5f on varying ground types but hasn't been at her best so far this season, first two over C&D; cheekpieces now tried. |
25/1 |

6th 4 (7) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |

Three-time winner at 5f on good and yielding ground, including at this venue last August; has struggled in two 6f outings at this venue this term; probably needs the ground to improve. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Improved on the AW last winter with two wins at this trip (beat City House second occasion); turf return came at Newmarket early this month, showing plenty of pace until weakening final furlong in finishing creditable fourth in very valuable contest; remains on a handy mark compared to AW so has to be respected. |
10/1 |
|
4th 5 (10) |
2nd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Enough evidence to point to him being a superior performer on AW but that is reflected in a handicap mark that is 9lb lower on grass; that said, it is still 11lb higher than when twice beaten at the Curragh last September and he'll need to leave his turf form well behind if he is to win. |
12/1 |
|
11th 1 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Inconsistent but talented when trained by Harry Eustace; on the up for his new stable, winning 6f handicaps in fine style last November and in February; could well have more to offer on AW but it will require a mighty performance to defy top weight in this field. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 7lb |
One of two for yard; kept busy last year and four wins included one over C&D (good) in September off 77 and just 1lb higher here; subsequently won off revised mark of 84 at Bellewstown in October; badly out of form so far this year, however, and needs a revival. |
25/1 |

12th 12 (2) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
8st 10lb |
Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and soft ground; is 2lb lower than when winning at Bellewstown in October but has struggled badly in both starts this season; others arrive in better form. |
40/1 |
|
9th 1 (3) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
10st 5lb |
Gained fifth win of career off 1lb lower over C&D (soft) in October; out of form on AW in November; trailed in last of 14 on Curragh return a fortnight ago; contender if he's near his best with capable 7lb claimer aboard. |

10st 0lb |
One win and five places from ten Curragh starts; good chance now after second over C&D last month, marking an improvement from a third placing over 6f on seasonal debut; best suited by soft ground. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Course winner over 6f but effective at this trip; posted a solid effort on seasonal return when a 4.75l third behind Dmaniac here two weeks ago (6f, heavy); 8lb swing should enable him to get closer to that rival now; player. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner including over C&D (yielding); handles testing ground and is 4lb lower than when beaten 2.5l in this race on his seasonal return last year; 3l behind Staysound Susie when last seen in November but weighted to get much closer here; could go well. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and yielding ground; not at best on Curragh return; didn't get the clearest of runs when 12th of 15 and 5.5l behind the winner Mission Central in a C&D Listed contest last time; others preferred. |
33/1 |
|
12th 13 (16) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Five-time winner at 5f-6f on good and yielding ground; well beaten on seasonal return at the Curragh (6f, soft) but may have needed that; likely to be ridden to try and nick some black type and could outrun her likely odds if they go a strong gallop. |
50/1 |
|
7th 1 (10) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Productive campaign last year with three course wins, including over 6f on seasonal return; highlights were two C&D premier handicap wins, notably the Joe McGrath off 83 on yielding-to-soft; now rated 89, down in class again after a Listed attempt on final start. |

6th 4 (9) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Eight-time winner on turf including once over C&D; sole success last season in Tipperary rated race (5f, good) when he had Eclairage 1.25l behind in third and weighted to uphold that form; runner up in this last year on seasonal return off 3lb higher; can't discount. |

Both wins were earlier this year over 6f and made it 0-6 at 5f when only midfield at the Curragh two weeks ago when they claimed 7lb off her back; needs more. |

26th Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 5f 3y |

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. |
