10st 1lb |
Just one win from 28 attempts, but has been knocking on the door in recent starts here; fourth over 10.5f in November before taking third spot next two times; squeezed out when one-paced upped in trip over C&D last time; this trip may not be his optimum. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time turf winner who appreciates an ease in the ground; 3lb above his last success in September at Roscommon (7.5f, soft); positive return to turf at Bellewstown (1m, soft) two weeks ago when fourth of 14 following a poor effort at Dundalk prior; no surprise to see him feature. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 205y |
9st 8lb |
Three-time turf winner who appreciates an ease in the ground; 5lb above his last success in September at Roscommon (7.5f, soft) but has run well here before and had a recent run at Dundalk so he'll be fit; each-way shout. |
14/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Four-time winner (one at this venue); very comfortable winner of a Roscommon handicap in September off 59 (7.5f, soft); not at the same level off higher mark since; weakened into tenth over 10.5f here latest; this trip looks more suitable but has never won from a mark this high. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Now with his fifth different trainer; gained an overdue breakthrough at Dundalk on his 26th start; perhaps unlucky not to finish closer at Limerick last month on stable debut, since he almost lost his footing on the final bend; placed 11 times, capable of reaching the money in this grade. |

1st 3 (10) |

0-25 overall but has placed in four of seven starts on AW; beaten just 1.5l when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago for this rider and same mark here; good chance with a repeat of that. |

First reserve; just fair form in handicaps to date, including fifth over C&D; can get upset in the stalls. |

9th 9 (15) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
9st 6lb |
Just fair form in handicaps to date but her mark is beginning to drop and she is lightly raced; finished a 5.5l fifth of 13 at Down Royal when last seen on turf (7f, yielding); got upset in stalls and weakened quickly into tenth at Dundalk in November (10.5f). |

Just one win from 22 starts, but ran well here last month over 10.5f on just her third AW start when chasing home a rank outsider; below that level when outpaced over 1m last week; step up in trip can help. |

Has done most of his racing at Dundalk, highlight provided by a 7f maiden win in February; struggled over C&D last month, last of 17; blinkered now. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Dual course winner over 10.5f but stays much further; runner-up in 7f/10.5f claimers for Denis Hogan before good fourth in 7f handicap last week on stable debut; should relish the step up in distance. |
6/1 |
|
4th 13 (6) |
20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Two-time 10.5f course winner has been a runner-up in two recent claimers, inc' over C&D last time; back in a handicap now for stable debut; his ideal trip is probably over further but in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
30th Jan 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Second runner for yard; dual winner here (10.5f) last year for former yards; runner-up in 10.5f claimer on latest, with the pair pulling well clear; big drop in trip a slight concern but should go well; blinkered. |

10st 0lb |
Recorded third turf win earlier this month at Roscommon under positive ride from today's rider (1m4f, good), overcoming wide draw and having been hampered; 5lb rise takes her back to a near career-high mark so interesting to see if she can back that up. |

1st 8 (17) |

Four-time winner is 2-19 on turf; 1lb lower than when winning at Down Royal last July (1m5f, good); stayed on well for second over 10.5f at Dundalk latest; player back on turf. |

2nd 7 (8) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Second runner for yard; has won here and regularly placed; however, recent efforts have been below-par and was behind Jawhary last time; others have stronger credentials. |

Verdict
Reserve Porsche Lad would be very interesting if getting a run, while the long absent Dromore Glory has run well fresh in the past so holds legitimate claims with Colin Keane booked. However, the choice is CANDIDLY, staying on nicely over C&D last month when not getting clear daylight, despite this wide draw. Church Mountain retains appeal back at his optimum trip, while another to consider is the still unexposed handicap debutant Metamorphic. [Alan Hewison]
