31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
9st 7lb |
Dual winner on the AW at 10.5f-1m4f in February/March; put a poor Bellewstown run behind him when taking the runner-up spot at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding to soft) last time; unproven at this trip. |

2nd 5 (9) |
15th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Progressing well on AW for current yard, recording a second win at Dundalk last month off 61 before solid third there next time; couldn't transfer that form to turf at Bellewstown last time when tailed off (1m4f, soft); perhaps better ground can suit more, but likelihood is that he's better on AW. |

Three turf wins in France back in the day; sole Irish win came on AW over three years ago; found his form again in recent months at Dundalk, placed three times over this trip and when beaten a length over 2m last time; rated lower on turf. |

Last win came over 10.5f here in 2023 off 58; didn't race in 2024; signs of return to form in recent runs, placing in his last three starts; has shown a tendency to hang but big player upped to this trip for first time since 2022 |

Much-improved when stepping up to this trip in first-time visor here in mid-January, beaten just 1l into third behind Jawhary after meeting traffic problems; backed that up when winning over the extended 1m2f; one length behind Deluca Chop when third last time; drawn high then, same again now. |

Much-improved for stepping up to this trip in first-time visor here in mid-January, beaten just 1l into third behind Jawhary after meeting traffic problems; backed that up 12 days ago when winning over the extended 1m2f; that display can be upgraded since he again had trouble getting a clear passage. |

8st 11lb |
Busy AW campaign over the winter, winning over this trip and runner-up three times afterwards; ran well for a long way on latest but 1m4f seemed too far; back in trip with race-fitness guaranteed so definite each-way claims. |

Remains a maiden after 22 starts (six over hurdles); fair fourth over hurdles at Bellewstown last month before another respectable run on the Flat at Limerick; an each-way proposition with the champion jockey aboard. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |

Made her 15th start, with tongue-tie and blinkers replacing cheekpieces, when getting off the mark in a nine-runner handicap at Dundalk (10.5f, AW) one month ago, doing it in clearcut style under 7lb claimer; has comparable form on good ground but not proven over this far (tried it on penultimate start) and she's 4lb out of the handicap. |

Eleven race maiden is fit from the AW and has shown ability but best form is over further than this and she's unraced on heavy ground; a bit to prove in these conditions. |
