20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won at Dundalk (6f, AW) in January but he's not come close to that form since and was was well held on recent stable debut; now goes back up in trip but he's 1-19 on turf and others are preferred. |

Dundalk regular who's done most racing over further, usually ridden prominently, and been off for three months; would want to see some market confidence for his new yard. |

Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

Added tenth course win here last time over 6f (seven-time winner over 5f); that success was his first since September 2024; up 5lb, but he's still fairly treated compared to some of his previous wins. |

9st 1lb |
Thrived since joining this yard, three wins from five at this track, albeit all at 5f, most recently off 77 early this month; speedy type up an aggregate of 32lb this term so rider's claim very valuable here and now tries 6f again. |
7/2 |

1st 7 (4) |
6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Shaped well on yard debut before easy win off 54 over C&D in October; first past the post from 12lb higher mark next time but badly hampered Buddy Batt and was placed second; went up another 3lb but won going away over C&D last month (Dontspoilasale fourth; form boosted); will be hard to beat despite another 8lb hike. |

3-8 at Dundalk, 1-10 on turf; fair fifth over C&D before unplaced behind Cuban Grey on AW; this looks too competitive for him. |

Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying. |

Three wins from four winter starts at Dundalk; soft going might not be ideal for his return to turf on a mark 16lb higher than when fifth of 16 in a C&D apprentice handicap last October. |

Is 1-24 with the win coming at Tipperary last season (5f, good) off 68; mark in freefall since but no sign of a revival; 10lb wrong. |

Won over 5f at Tipperary and second over 6f at Fairyhouse last summer when with Gavin Cromwell; very little so far for this yard and mark in freefall; few quid for him at Navan last weekend where he didn't shape too badly. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 34y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Shaped well on his stable debut at Lingfield (6f, AW) in February but hamstrung by slow starts on his next three starts; further blotted his copybook when refusing to race at Windsor in May; well backed back at Windsor (5f, good to firm) ten days ago and again not foot perfect leaving the stalls but he overcame some adversity (stumbled early and had to be switched in the straight) to win going away; little doubt he has the ability to defy his penalty but there are risks attached. |

On a competitive mark on form as recent as February but he got loose and was withdrawn before the start here early last month, and refused to race here subsequently; comes with risks attached. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish gelding who's got into the habit of fluffing the start for this yard, which also saddles Rye; can pull hard too and comes with risks, returned to turf and going without the hood tonight. |

16th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Made all to win a 6f handicap at Wolverhampton nine days ago; had form at this trip in Ireland and he comes here in preference to an intended Wolverhampton run on Tuesday; suspicion remains that he's likely to prove a cut above this level. |
9/4 |

7th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

Two creditable 5f efforts for this yard, including here, and he continues to edge down the weights; likely to be in the thick of it back at 6f. |

Regressive maiden but ran a cracker over this trip at Naas before a lesser run over 6.5f at Limerick since; cheekpieces retained; back to 5f will suit but needs more. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |

Ten-race maiden; has dropped 21lb in the ratings since initially assessed last season; some encouragement can be taken from her fifth of 21 over 5f at Naas last month; first time with cheekpieces now. |

Her wins in Ireland came on the beach at Laytown (6f) and in a Dundalk handicap (6f); makes her stable debut after 139 days off; drawn widest but worth a market check. |
10/1 |
Betting Forcast
9/2 Dontspoilasale, 8/1 Cash Me, 10/1 Inishmot Prince, 9/2 Prairie Girl, 8/1 Buddy Batt, 20/1 Skillman Ave, 10/1 Just Jump, 5/2 Tomarlo, 20/1 Snowballs, 6/1 Lismacbryan Hill
Verdict
David Marnane and Luke McAteer had a great night last Friday and can keep up the good work with TOMARLO, who is weighted to uphold previous form with Prairie Girl. Danny Murphy’s filly, who has shot up in the ratings for a convincing C&D win 12 days ago, may have improved enough to pose a major threat, along with one of his recent victims, fourth-placed Lismacbryan Hill. Dropping in class and trip, Cash Me should not be ruled out. [Alan Sweetman]
