9st 9lb |
Fair ex-Irish 6f winner; yet to hit top form in four runs for his current yard, tried in a visor when fourth of seven in 6f Southwell handicap 15 days ago; needs to step forward despite a falling mark. |

Well handicapped on last year's Irish best; has not made a big impact in three runs for Stephen Hanlon (single-figure price on each occasion) and cheekpieces didn't help over 7f three weeks ago; dropping down the weights and new headgear is tried but there are risks attached. |

9st 7lb |
Hardy veteran has won fourteen races on turf, all on good and good to firm ground, but handles an ease; is 15lb lower than when winning at Musselburgh last year and didn't run badly at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; could go well. |

Likeable veteran won for the fourteenth time at Musselburgh (5f, good) last April and is 13lb lower now; showed some spark when a 2l fourth at Dundalk on penultimate and was third over this C&D (soft) off 5lb higher in October; can't discount. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Returned from over four years off with some moderate runs last year; however has returned to turf this term in the form of his life, winning back-to-back at Navan (6f, heavy) under Colin Keane and Bellewstown (5f, soft) under a 3lb claimer; rating has risen 14lb but he's still lightly raced and soft conditions will suit. |
9/2 |

1st 4 (16) |
11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |

Return to turf saw him shed the maiden tag in decisive fashion at Navan (6f, heavy) last month; 9lb rise partially negated by rider's 3lb claim; should be fine dropped to 5f but draw could have been kinder. |

Unbeaten in three runs at Sligo and going for three-in-a-row in this race, the last two coming from stall 16; Hayes is elsewhere today, but quite the substitute to have in the saddle and his comeback run was fine. |
