22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Group 3-winning two-year-old in 2024; struggled in three runs last year in stakes and handicap company; showed more and ran well for a long way from the front in Listed Heritage Stakes 7 days ago, eventually finishing eighth behind The Lion In Winter; should come on for that and step back in trip will suit; one of two for in-form yard. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Both wins have come here, notably minor conditions event (7f, heavy) last November; first run since when fourth of 5 in good-class Gowran conditions event last month; yard going well but 6f on decent ground may prove on the lively side. |
16/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Impressive Curragh maiden winner in August 2024; below that form early last season but finished well with a pair of third-placed finishes at the Curragh and Naas in competitive handicaps (soft and yielding) before winning conditions race on last start, beating Senna's Girl by a neck as 1-2 favourite; form of that questionable and he's not well treated at the weights here. |

15th 4 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Consistent handicapper last season; last win came at Galway festival over 1m on soft in July; good effort over C&D when short head second in Irish Cambridgeshire in August; acts on all ground; last two hurdle runs of limited significance and should be fitter than most after them. |

2nd Nov 2025 Heavy 1m 0f 0y |

Has a modest win record but usually runs well in defeat; won at Galway and fine runs since including in the Cambridgeshire here; 7f was maybe a bit too short last time but has to be considered back to 1m. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

Eight wins including once over C&D; some fine runs in defeat since winning at Naas on return this term; probably found the ground a bit quick at Leopardstown last time; is better here too but rain would help. |

Fine stalwart has won eight races, including seasonal return at Naas in March (7f, soft-to-heavy); below best of late but reduced mark now and soft ground so could improve on recent form. |

9st 9lb |
Course handicap winner at 1m1f; cracking effort when 2.5l fourth in Listed Heritage Stakes over C&D (yld-sft) last month when he had three of these behind despite not getting the clearest of runs; acts on good ground and seems to be improving; a bit to find on the figures, but could go very well. |

4th 9 (3) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Five career wins, the most recent off 98 in a 1m handicap at Dundalk last November; should strip fitter following an AW run in February; stable in fine form, combined for a Dundalk treble last week. |

|
3rd 3 (1) |
6th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Five career wins; built on runner-up finishes at the Curragh and here when making it 2-5 on the AW over C&D in November handicap off 98, keen early but seeing it out impressively; now rated 104, has a leading chance on these terms on return from a break. |

9st 0lb |
One of three for yard; five-time winner, the most recent over C&D (yielding) in October 2024 off 4lb higher; shaped as though in need of the run last time at the Curragh and should be much sharper now; interesting. |
20/1 |

7th 9 (13) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 1lb |
One of three for yard; five-time winner including three 6f victories at this venue; on losing run since winning at Naas in October 2024 (6f, yielding); no joy last season but did run well in defeat at times and returns 3lb below his last winning mark; record fresh suggests he might need this. |

27th Sep 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

10st 5lb |
Best run last year when second in valuable C&D handicap (good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces off 90; form regressed afterwards but encouraging seasonal return (well-backed) at Naas last month over 1m; down in grade here off a fair mark so one to consider. |

Best runs last year came in a valuable Leopardstown handicap (1m1f, good to firm) when second in first-time cheekpieces, and when a close sixth at the Curragh next time in the same headgear; form regressed when headgear left off in two runs afterwards and it doesn't appear here. |

9st 5lb |
Seven wins in Britain; runner-up for Hugo Palmer in 2022 Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; regressive since 2023; improved from a moderate stable debut last September when close fourth in a 7f rated at Dundalk in November; last of ten at the same venue in December; rated 113 at his peak, now down to 79 but remains risky. |

Got off the mark in a Catterick novice for George Scott and a solid third in a Goodwood handicap final start for him; races off the same mark today for a new yard; is ground-versatile and the market should help. |

Lightly raced 4yo; gelded and wearing first-time blinkers, back with a bang to make all in a novice at Catterick in April; faded to a 19l defeat in Chester handicap (again 7f on good; unraced on softer) four weeks later, however, so others look more solid options. |

9st 5lb |
Very progressive in handicaps last season, two of his three wins coming here over 7f on ground with an ease; latest came in September when beating subsequent winner Tokenomics by 0.75l; may have hit his ceiling judged on return effort in Irish Lincoln (finished 14th) but could easily step forward for that. |
