27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 5lb |
Two of three wins have been at the Curragh in testing conditions, including in March off 75; decent run at Bellewstown 5f last month, recent Naas run not to be taken literally as he raced on the wrong side. |

Has okay form on good and Polytrack, and goes well on straight tracks, but last couple of wins have been on testing terrain; outstayed over 7f when second at Cork, and 5f was a bit sharp latest; all three wins have been at 6f. |

14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Arrives in search of a fourth straight win following victories in big-field handicaps at the Curragh in November (7f, heavy) and on seasonal return in April (1m, soft to heavy), continued progression when successful over C&D last month (soft), ahead of Collecting Coin and Gleneagle Bay; up another 5lb and better ground raises a question. |

1st 5 (3) |
3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson; has prospered at the Curragh since joining Pat Flynn, ending last season with a 7f win and starting the new campaign with a 1m success; goes well for this rider whose claim is now reduced to 5lb. |
6/1 |

1st 16 (21) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson who changed hands for 15,000gns before making a very encouraging stable debut when beaten 0.75l in 6f handicap at this track in October on soft before going one better next time over 7f, beating Miss Nifty by 0.5l; raised 7lb for that but unexposed and trip could easily unlock further improvement; off 152 days; enjoys soft ground. |

Second reserve; generally reliable sort knows how to win and has been in decent form this term, placing in five of his seven starts; more than capable off this mark but may need softer ground to get his head back in front. |
|
|
3rd 13 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 45y |
9st 9lb |
Has been running well in defeat this term, including a second of 23 over this trip at the Curragh in March; wasn't beaten far when seventh of 21 at Navan 11 days ago (5f); acts on good but best on soft/heavy. |
12/1 |

7th 7 (6) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Has a decent record at this track, two wins and three seconds from nine visits; solid form this term except a moderate Curragh run over 7f; place chance now after last Sunday's third at Listowel; acts on good but best on soft or heavy. |

Fourth in this last season off 3lb higher and just failed to reward strong market support when denied by a short head over C&D latest; nudged up 4lb but won't mind a drop of rain and she is a leading contender. |

First reserve; reached a mark of 94 when winning three times as 4yo; rating has steadily declined since then, although two runs this year not without some merit; blinkers reached for. |
|
|
7th 6 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Best form in 2022, winning three times in a July-to-September spell, and rising to a career-high mark of 94; frustrating in recent seasons; joined Peter Fahey late last year after a claiming-race third on AW; stumbled out of the stalls over 7f at Leopardstown earlier this month, left with too much to do; capable of better. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |

Just one placed effort from eight starts last season; tailed off at the Curragh on his return and down the field at Roscommon two months ago; not a big price on the second occasion, so perhaps capable of better. |

Hasn't won on turf for over two years but landed a four-timer on the AW in the spring; has been running consistently on turf since, admittedly starting to look exposed but he should run his race. |

8th 19 (6) |
29th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Eight-time winner who has been kept busy since joining this yard and he rattled off a four-timer on AW (7f/1m) earlier in the year; has been knocking on the door of late, including when close third of 17 at York (7f, good to firm; Pellitory second; Morte Point sixth) 19 days ago; firmly in the mix once again. |

In excellent form at Dundalk earlier this year; 0-9 on turf and moderate effort at Naas (6f, good) on return from 124 days off on latest; should strip fitter now and 7f more suitable so not totally discounted. |

In good form at Dundalk early in the year; third when favourite for a 7f handicap; showed improvement when going up to 1m, recording back-to-back wins; might find this trip inadequate on his first outing after a break. |
