3rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Represents top Irish jumps trainer Willie Mullins; won a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary last October and he's posted easy wins on the Dundalk AW on his last two starts (1m4f/10.6f); has a lofty mark to defy now back in a handicap but he may well prove capable in view of his impressive winter form. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
Very smart hurdler, winning Tipperary Grade 3 in October; very keen when fourth on 2m AW debut in November; settled much better when forging clear to win 1m4f course handicap by 6l next time; must have strong credentials again. |

Grade 3 winner at Naas in March before fourth behind stablemate Irancy in Fairyhouse Grade 2; made a lot of the running before fading into fourth in a Listed handicap hurdle at the Punchestown festival; was trying to concede 9lb to the winner Jesse Evans when fourth in a Grade 3 event at Tipperary four weeks ago. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
One of three runners for the yard; lightly raced 8yo who was second in the 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch in 2024 and also in non-handicaps over 10.5f and 1m6f on his latest two starts this year; will probably be in good form but needs a career best. |

2nd 3 (7) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Second runner for yard; three-time Flat winner was second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since but despite being very weak in the betting, ran a lovely second at Dundalk in February (ahead of Dallas Star); entitled to improve but unproven on soft. |
7/2 |

2nd 1 (6) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time Flat winner (including 2m course handicap); second in the 2024 Irish Cesarewitch; has had his issues since, failing to land the odds in 1m7f conditions race at Leopardstown last summer and beaten out of sight on hurdle debut at Thurles this month; the one to beat if at his best. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year, having faced some stiff tasks since, career-best when front-running second to ready winner Scandinavia in Navan Listed last month; not as good behind same rival since under similar tactics in Group 3 Saval Beg; bit to find on ratings and step up to 2m looks a big ask. |
10/1 |
|
5th 3 (5) |
15th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won the 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes here in April 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year; no match for Leinster in a St Leger trial at the Curragh last August; twice placed in small-field AW events during the winter; stronger form in defeat behind Scandinavia at Navan; not certain to uphold form with Leinster. |

Won Leopardstown Group 3 in April 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year; no match for Leinster in a St Leger trial at the Curragh last August; twice placed in small-field AW events during the winter; well held in third behind Layfayette at the Curragh early this month; up against it. |

8st 10lb |
Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and good effort back on turf at Chester last month, only fading late on over 2m3f; upped in grade here and could go well with rider's claim. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 10lb |
Seen mostly on AW, including fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate at Newcastle (2m) last June; running well on AW this year and although he's 0-6 on turf, that includes a close third here (2m, good to soft) in September; each-way player. |

3rd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |

Runner-up in this last year and also ran well over C&D when fourth of 20 in the Northumberland Plate last June; he's been running pretty well at Dundalk this year and could build on those efforts now back here. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 50y |
10st 0lb |
Classy 2yo won a three runner race Gowran last July, his third win on turf; has failed to fire since and was never sighted in the Irish Lincolnshire last time, although heavy ground may not have suited; sliding mark but others appeal more. |

Smart juvenile in 2022, winner of the Group 2 Beresford Stakes; has come down in the world in recent seasons and has been competing over longer trips on AW; makes little appeal despite career-low mark. |

27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 6lb |
One of two for yard; sole win last season came in three-runner Gowran conditions race (9.5f); two middling efforts in handicaps since joining this yard, including a fourth behind Gaucher in December; last year's winner Dallas Star has better claims. |

Added fourth Flat win in a Dundalk claimer in March; creditable efforts in three starts over hurdles; distant runner-up at Tramore last time (2m, soft); not totally discounted. |

2nd 3 |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Four Flat wins, the latest in a Dundalk AW claimer last month; two previous runs over hurdles were at Leopardstown, encouraging fourth in 2m maiden but well out of depth in Grade 1 novice at the DRF; drops in grade here, has to enter calculations. |

11st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; three-time AW winner ran well enough on that surface on second start for this yard; was well below his best on sole turf run, but has the class to run well if jumping soundly. |

2nd 2 (5) |
13th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 2lb |
Three wins from seven starts at this track when in Adrian Murray's care; struggled in good company over C&D last time on yard debut; sights lowered significantly now, as is the case with stablemate Tyson Fury, who should have his measure again. |
