Eight wins on this surface and returned to his best when just overhauled late in a C&D handicap last week; leading contender. |

9st 1lb |
One of three runners for his yard; all bar one of his nine wins have come on sand, including the Laytown race in which he was third 12 days ago (beaten just under 5l); wears new headgear combination; others appeal more. |

|
First reserve; won off 7lb higher at Dundalk (7f) in January, his eighth AW win; is 3lb lower than when winning this race last year and didn't run too badly over 1m at Navan on latest; could be a danger to all if getting a run. |

Six-time AW winner in Britain and some very solid handicap efforts here early in the year; off since May but not hard to make a case for overall. |
10/1 |

19th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Irish challenger whose two turf wins have come on quick ground at Ayr (7f/1m); not at his very best in Ireland on final two starts but has each-way claims on this belated return to 1m. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; posted a career best when only caught late on in a 17-runner 7f Curragh handicap in June when ahead of a few of these; her run at Naas next time was below that (7f, good) good claims on that Curragh effort. |
9/2 |
|
6th 1 (7) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Both turf wins came on quick ground at 7f-1m at Ayr; AW winner last winter and posted career-best on latest when only caught late on in 17-runner Curragh handicap over this trip last month; trip/ground remains in his favour, can go well again. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Form of penultimate neck second in a rated race at Limerick was franked by the winner (to whom he was conceding 6lb) who bolted up off 80 in a handicap at Galway last week; yielding ground not ideal on latest; could bounce back. |
100/30 |
|
7th 7 (2) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Only one win from 27 starts and that was on AW for Brian Meehan in 2023; fair AW form early this year and showed that a turf win could be within his range when second to Dancing Saxon at Limerick last time; form given a big boost by the winner in a Listed race; handicap mark reduced by a stone over the past 12 months; may come good now from low draw.. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 (2) |
11th Jul 2026 Firm 0m 6f 150y |

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 Oct 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish and made a flying start for current stable, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) and second of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm); however, his form has dipped the last twice, markedly so last time. |
25/1 |

8st 13lb |
Ex-Irish and made a flying start for current stable, winning at Kempton (1m, AW) and second of 20 at Glorious Goodwood (7f, good to firm); form dipped back at Kempton eight days ago but he needs a second look. |
16/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |

6-16; has kept up the good work since joining current stable, winning over C&D and running a cracker when second of 20 at Glorious Goodwood; again well drawn and impossible to discount. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Got back to winning ways at Gowran last month (7f, good); soundly beaten off revised mark twice since, but has been eased 6lb for those two tame efforts, so is just 1lb higher than his last win; has run well on the AW so not dismissed. |
7/1 |
|
8th 2 (9) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 12lb |
Just denied by Jon Riggens over C&D in June, more recently made all over 7f at Gowran; five days later awkward start and soon beaten in a similar event under 7lb penalty; capable 5lb claimer now booked so don't rule out. |
10/1 |
|
5th 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Carries a 7lb penalty due to his C&D victory five days ago; that win came following a good third at the Galway festival (7f, yielding) but he's not the most consistent overall, so not guaranteed to reproduce his winning form. |

No joy since 2yo days in Britain, but placed twice this summer and, after 104-day break, nice run at Listowel last week. |

5th 1 (12) |
22nd Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 15y |

No success since two wins as a juvenile when trained in Britain, but was placed twice over similar trips to this in the spring; back from a break. |
