16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Nine wins in all, but only one on turf from 32 starts; led when third over 7f at Fairyhouse last week, and that's probably his optimum trip on turf, rather than the stiff mile here; unplaced all four runs here, too. |
12/1 |

3rd 4 (4) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Eight-time winner on the AW but just 1-31 on turf; beaten 3l when third of 6 in this last season and just 1lb lower now; finished a couple of places ahead of Tolebi when a 4.5l seventh of 17 at the Curragh on latest; place shout. |

Eight-time AW winner; not as good on turf (1-31) and last of 12 on his favoured surface when last seen at Lingfield in early April; others appeal more. |

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 |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

2-6 on turf on the Flat, both wins coming on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; remains 10lb above his last turf win but not beaten far off 2lb higher on latest at Musselburgh (7f, good); conditions to suit here and he could go well. |

Only one win from 26 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year; hard to fancy on recent form |
14/1 |

11th 8 (6) |
27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Proving hard to win with (1-25); not beaten far on last two AW runs in the spring; failed to make a significant impact in a Listowel race won by Unauthorized. |

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. |

2nd Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner for Aidan O'Brien in his early days; his three wins this year have all been in claimers at Dundalk (6f-1m) but he travelled smoothly before winning with plenty in hand last time; with another new yard now but he remains well treated on old form and is not ruled out back in a handicap. |
6/1 |
|
1st 5 (1) |
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. |

7f maiden winner at Limerick last season on his sixth and final start for Aidan O'Brien; went close in a 6f handicap at Navan three starts ago; 4lb wrong, up against it. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |
9st 13lb |
Course 7f maiden winner last season on his sixth and final start for Aidan O'Brien; went close in a 6f handicap at Navan on his penultimate start; should be capable of holding his own in this company. |
6/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Good ground 7f maiden winner for former yard; narrowly denied over 6f (good) at Navan on latest; return to 7f no problem but 2lb higher now and these are deeper waters; more needed to get head back in front. |
