3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
Multiple winner on the Dundalk AW; outran odds of 80-1 when a 2.5l fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f) but he did benefit from a good position from stall 1 and he's out in 12 this time; others preferred. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 0lb |
7-28 on the Dundalk AW, with his latest win this January and that's his clear highlight this winter; the last year suggests that others will be a bit better handicapped. |

Seven wins here include this race last year (beating Final Voyage) and last month off 82 under a positive ride (beating Brewing) over 7f; 4lb rise okay and one for the shortlist. |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk last winter, soft ground probably wasn't ideal on turf comeback (slowly away) over C&D early this month and fair bit to find with Gleneagle Bay on that run. |
12/1 |

9th 14 (14) |
3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
8st 10lb |
All six wins have been gained on AW; in good form at Dundalk this winter before a below-par Newcastle run on latest; others have much stronger claims on turf form. |

11th 6 (1) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
Four-time course scorer (6f/7f) for William Haggas; struggled on turf in Ireland for this yard last autumn but has found form again since returning to AW, placing three times at Dundalk (7f/1m) in recent months; has to enter calculations for a stable with a good record in Britain. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Running consistently well over 6f/7f on AW this winter and when a close fifth of seven at Lingfield (6f, AW) two months ago it was a tough Class 2; five runs on turf have yielded two wins and this Irish challenger is on the shortlist back down in grade and back on grass. |
10/1 |

5th 7 (3) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 1y Class 2 |

All four wins have come over further; in good form on AW this winter, most recently finishing a close third at Newcastle (7f; cheekpieces first time) three weeks ago; more on his plate in this grade. |

Proving hard to win with; not beaten far last two AW runs, behind I Bid You Ajou when sixth at Naas last time; handicapper starting to play ball. |
9/1 |
|
6th 1 (4) |
9th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
10st 1lb |
Sole win in June 2023; in good form on the AW off this mark recently, beaten less than 1l the last twice; best turf form on fast ground and on a dangerous mark based on a 2l second at Windsor off 7lb higher last June; could go well. |
15/2 |

4th 1 (3) |
1st Apr 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Yet to add to his 6f 2yo win on AW in Britain for Brian Meehan; solid level of form here of late, most recently staying on for second behind all-the-way winner Sporting Hero over this trip last month from a wide draw; 4lb better off with rival here, major chance. |

11th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 5f 3y |
9st 11lb |
Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Won at two and three for Ballydoyle; won claimers here over 1m and 6f in February; coughing post-race when disappointing odds-on favourite in 7f claimer here in March; been given time to recover and looks a big player. |
7/4 |
|
5th 3 (3) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Seeking a hat-trick of claiming wins here after wins at a mile and 6f last month, latest under today's rider last month, overcoming tardy start when coming late; intermediate trip ideal and the one to beat again. |
6/4 |
|
1st 2 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
One of four for trainer; 2-3 for Aidan O'Brien; no wins from four outings for Joseph O'Brien; middling efforts in first three runs for this yard but given a good chance at the weights in a claimer here last time and duly obliged under Colin Keane (1m); similarly well treated at the weights here and Holohan has been in good form at the course but drop back to 6f a negative. |

Won 7f maiden for Ballydoyle last summer; best AW run came in March when beaten less than a length in third over 6f; missed break when well-held fourth at Navan last time. |
12/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
One of two for yard; 7f Limerick maiden winner for Aidan O'Brien; best run for this yard on latest when beaten 0.75l into third of 10 at Dundalk (6f) in March off 75; 5lb higher mark now returned to turf but rider claims 10lb; could go well if gets a strong pace to aim at back at 5f. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 (7) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
One of four for trainer; won a 7f Limerick maiden for Aidan O'Brien last June wearing blinkers; hasn't matched that form in four runs for this stable but is dropping in the weights. |

31st May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and took third (0.5l behind Exceeding) at Leopardstown (7f, yielding to soft) in April; unplaced favourite at Gowran next time, but took the runner-up spot at Roscommon (7.5f, good to yielding); in the mix. |

2nd 15 (9) |
18th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 5lb |
Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and profited from a drop in grade when third at Leopardstown on his penultimate start; unplaced favourite at Gowran last time. |
7/1 |

5th 1 (2) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Both wins came as a juvenile for Charlie Hills at 5f/7f on different ground types; has plunged in the ratings and profited from a drop to this grade when third at Leopardstown last week; likely contender with Reese Holohan's useful 7lb a help in easing his burden. |
