9st 6lb |
Shed his maiden tag at the 16th time of asking when scoring over C&D in January; raised 6lb and upped in grade/trip last time when beaten 16.5l, perhaps didn't stay that day; not ruled out with winning claimer back aboard. |

Maiden was good fifth over 1m at the Curragh in October; then stepped back up in trip to 10.5f on AW, best run when second in November; no impact in one previous attempt over this far; headgear left off. |

Seventeen-race maiden is 0-3 on the AW; narrowly denied over C&D in November and 2lb lower now; needs to bounce back from a below-par effort here 17 days ago, chance if she does. |

C&D winner in September off 10lb lower but doesn't appear to be in anything like the same form currently; tries a tongue-tie. |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course scorer (for Robert Eddery) in 2023; a fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott since but pulled up over hurdles at Perth last month on final run for yard; more needed for his new stable. |
25/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual AW Flat winner who has won a chase and a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick since joining Gordon Elliott; hasn't been at his best since winning over hurdles in October (2m1f, yielding); stable has a fine record here. |

6th 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |

Dual AW winner has a win apiece over hurdles and fences; moderate form shown in last two runs over hurdles, finishing eighth both times; returns to chasing now and he will appreciate better ground if it appears; others preferred. |

Gained fourth career success off this mark over C&D in November; below best thrice since and latest third in a C&D claimer was remote; yard back in form but others make more appeal. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |
9st 13lb |
Improver this year, all three wins under this rider, most recently over extended 7f at Roscommon last month, coming home strongly after being switched to the outer in straight; hit with a 10lb rise for that however and upped in grade now; not sure the drop in trip will suit. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Placed just twice from her first 16 starts but has improved, winning twice under this rider including by 3l over 7f at Gowran last month; the runner-up bolted up over 1m at same track six days ago, when this filly found herself too far back after a tardy start, keeping on late; should come home well if not too free down the hill here. |

12th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 111y |
8st 11lb |
Won on good and the AW when trained in Britain; added a third career success a month ago at Dundalk where she went off pretty quick in the new blinkers and just held on (80-1); whether this will pan out so favourably is questionable. |

Verdict
Not too many appeal, but SARMIENTO POWER remains of interest back in trip, the 4yo’s C&D second two starts back having been franked since by the third home. At opposite ends of the handicap, Thompson Gunner and Sporting Aclaim look likely dangers, while Someone’s Wish has to be respected back from chasing. Nibras Rainbow has stamina concerns.
