3rd May 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Won over 6f at the Curragh on final start of 2025 and reappeared with another 6f win at the same venue; beaten favourite over 5f last time; winning form points to a preference for testing conditions. |

28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |

Won over 6f here on final start of 2025 and reappeared with another 6f win here two weeks ago when he had a few of these behind, both on heavy; raised 7lb for that and drops back to 5f for the first time since his debut; will need a career best but could be more to come; shortlisted. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Three wins include twice over C&D last October; promising C&D comeback second in March, stiffer task in Listed company last time; one to consider back in handicap company, especially given his record here. |

Smart handicapper has won three times at this trip and posted a solid return at the Curragh; his race-fitness helps and this ground is fine but has a fair bit to find with some of these. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
One win and five places from ten Curragh starts; good chance now after second over C&D last month, marking an improvement from a third placing over 6f on seasonal debut; best suited by soft ground. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 6 (9) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Course winner over 6f but effective at this trip; posted a solid effort on seasonal return when a 4.75l third behind Dmaniac here two weeks ago (6f, heavy); 8lb swing should enable him to get closer to that rival now; player. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Five-time winner including over C&D (yielding); handles testing ground and is 4lb lower than when beaten 2.5l in this race on his seasonal return last year; 3l behind Staysound Susie when last seen in November but weighted to get much closer here; could go well. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Five-time winner won on seasonal return here in 2024 over 5f (heavy); couldn't repeat the trick last month when a 5.25l fourth of nine (6f, heavy); only raced twice last season, so encouraging to see him out again and comeback run is something to build on but must shoulder top weight. |
22/1 |
|
4th 5 (1) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Five-time winner and beat Stag Night off 3lb higher over 5f (heavy) here on seasonal return in 2024; only seen twice last season but can go well fresh and is well handicapped so he's worth a market check. |
16/1 |
|
12th 1 (15) |
2nd Nov 2025 Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Five-time winner including over C&D (heavy) early last year off today's mark; not seen since comeback C&D run in March when not disgraced after meeting trouble in running; dropped 7lb since and tried in blinkers on return; goes well fresh, rider claims 7lb and has his ground so could be a danger. |

27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
9st 4lb |
Career-best on latest to land a nice pot at the Curragh (6f, sft-hvy) under this rider, her fourth win; ground-versatile but she'll need to improve again to follow up off a career-high mark of 90. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 (8) |
3rd Apr 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Won 5f course handicap (heavy) on final run of 2025 off 8lb lower; needed her seasonal return but eyecatching effort here over 5f six days ago when third of 14, finishing off to good effect; should be bang there for stable in terrific form. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 12 (10) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Won over C&D (heavy) on final run of 2025 off 7lb lower; moderate effort when a 7.75l fifth behind Dmaniac here on seasonal return (6f, heavy); will be sharper now but may need a bit more help from the handicapper. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Both wins have been at this track, including early last season over this trip (soft) and better form when third to Go Athletico in Scurry from out of handicap; reportedly coming into season when disappointing joint-favourite on C&D seasonal return in March, more expected of now. |
16/1 |
|
6th 8 (8) |
15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Sole win last season came over C&D (soft) on this card last year; three creditable runs off revised mark subsequently before form tailed off in the Autumn; dropped 2lb, handles heavy ground and dangerous to dismiss for yard that had a winner at Cheltenham this week. |
20/1 |

8th 5 (2) |
16th Oct 2025 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
9st 7lb |

23rd May 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Rated 108 in his prime so has dropped a long way, but won Scurry Handicap (beating Fort Vega and Back Down Under) here last summer and last month's Naas third (three of today's rivals behind) was a good effort; can't rule out. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 10 (5) |
27th Apr 2026 Yielding 0m 5f 205y |
8st 12lb |
Bounced back to form from out of the blue to win the Scurry at the Curragh last July; has generally struggled since and well beaten in both starts this season at the Curragh; needs a revival. |
28/1 |
|
10th 5 (3) |
28th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 5f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Two-time course winner including a Group 3 in 2023 and the Scurry handicap last year off 2lb higher; well beaten on seasonal return here (6f, heavy) behind Dmaniac; should strip fitter now but probably best over a bit further these days. |

15th Mar 2026 Heavy 0m 6f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

3rd Aug 2025 Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Has done really well since joining current trainer this year, winning at Naas and Leopardstown (beating Fort Vega) and good second in Curragh premier handicap; fast ground may not have suited last time; cheekpieces now tried and rider's claim a positive. |
12/1 |
|
9th 2 (4) |
10th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Winner of two recent starts at 6f/7.5f; 0.75l second behind Slieve Binnian at the Curragh last time (1m, good); didn't get a clear run that day and ran on late; raised 3lb but he looks a big player. |
