Well backed when landing a third C&D win in January; 7f too far here last week, return to this trip to suit but more needed. |

9st 8lb |
Well-backed when landing a third win here (all at 6f) in January; nearly 3l off stablemate The Liffey in 6f claimer two starts back, most recent handicap run was okay; rare foray over 7f here and could be vulnerable. |

8st 9lb |
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 |

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. |

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. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (5) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |

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. |

A 2yo turf maiden winner for former yard came back from an absence to win twice over C&D during the winter; ran a solid race off this mark in January when didn't get the clearest of runs; can be involved. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |
9st 4lb |
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. |
9/1 |

Sole win came over this trip at Tipperary last July off 68 for Gavin Cromwell and a fine second over 6f here next time; however, has been regressive since and has to get back to form. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
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. |
20/1 |

7th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Shaped well when third at Lingfield (6f, AW) on his stable debut in February; hasn't fared so well since, with slow starts a recurring theme, and he will need luck in running if he blows the start from stall 1; cheekpieces the headgear of choice today. |
6/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who struggled in three runs early in the year for Barry Brennan; well backed for his new yard on Tapeta early last month, when things didn't pan out his way, and is on an attractive mark currently; shortlisted. |
3/1 |

4th 3 (6) |
5th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 21y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Fair AW form when trained in Ireland, recording an RPR of 69 as recently as November; ran poorly in his three starts for Barry Brennan this year but he has dropped 9lb for his troubles and starts out for a new yard at a low level; tongue-tie added; interesting. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Maiden is 0-5 on turf and yet to trouble the judge; beaten 4l when seventh of 16 in first-time blinkers (retained) at Naas on latest; eased 3lb; needs more and soft ground would be a query. |
16/1 |

7th 12 (5) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Glimmers of ability in turf maidens last year; no impact on handicap debut at Navan or three subsequent runs at Dundalk; mark tumbling but new blinkers need to spark something. |

8th 7 (1) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Glimmers of promise in maidens but has struggled in three handicaps over 5f; made some late headway after starting slowly when beaten 7l in seventh behind An Laochmor here nine days ago. |

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. |

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]
