1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 205y |
10st 2lb |
9yo has won six races including one over C&D; shaped as though still retaining ability when runner up in higher grades than this at Galway and fourth at the Curragh; 2lb below last win and can go well. |

Four of his six wins have come at this venue, two over this trip; ran another sound race when splitting Genuine Article and Titanium at the festival; a bit below his best in two more recent runs; could feature back at his favourite track with a valuable 7lb off. |

Four of his six wins have come at Galway and good second there last month; setting steady pace left him vulnerable at the Curragh on latest; rider's claim here a positive. |

Dual-purpose Flat winner yet to score over timber; soundly beaten first two starts for this yard over hurdles at Sligo and on the Flat at Bellewstown; revival required. |

Dual-purpose mare whose best recent Flat form has come over 1m4f-1m6f; beaten 20l in a 25.5f handicap hurdle on latest; headgear worn that day discarded; this trip surely too sharp. |

4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

1st 1 (8) |

Six-time course winner with his last win coming over 7f here in March last year off 72; modest 3-71 strike-rate on turf but excellent third of 20 over 1m at Leopardstown 11 days ago, headed in closing stages; big player in current mood under 10lb claimer. |

AW winner is 0-10 on turf and yet to trouble the judge; best efforts on grass have come on heavy ground, so the forecast rain is a plus, but others appeal more. |

Off the mark at Killarney off 7lb lower (1m, soft); another fine run at Listowel last month when a close second (1m, heavy); below her best when finishing behind The Blue Panther at Bellewstown latest; can get involved on her best form. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement (from a handicap low of 62 to his present 98) when beating 24 rivals in last Sunday's Irish Lincoln; suited by the ground and the only runner with race-fitness; has to be taken seriously, although others have stronger claims at these weights. |
