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 |
9st 1lb |
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. |

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. |

Six-time winner; boasts a good record at this venue and is generally dependable; beat Likedbymike narrowly here on penultimate start; out of the money at Navan three weeks ago when Erosandpsyche was third. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 (3) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
In fine form this season at the Curragh; third on seasonal reappearance (6f, heavy); 1.25l second behind Bodhi Bear on penultimate (5f, sft-hvy); won over 5f (soft) there on latest and the runner up has run well in Listed company since; 5lb rise fair and should be bang there again if the forecast rain materialises. |

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. |

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. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |
8st 7lb |
Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; this season's form linked to Genesis and Headmaster puts her in the mix, although several others would seem to have marginally stronger claims. |
12/1 |

5th 12 (7) |
28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; good fourth over 6f here on latest; had an excuse on her previous start, she was reported coming in season; cheekpieces for the first time, may find a few of these rivals too quick. |
12/1 |

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. |

8st 7lb |
Nine-time turf winner, including a 6f Group 3 at this venue in 2023, Listed contests and this event 12 months ago; was once rated 108, so has dropped a long way; inconsistent this year; good run when second here last time, 3lb wrong |

Specialist at this trip; has brought her total to five with two recent wins; up in grade and has to contend with a 7lb penalty for her victory over Shadow Of The Moon at Down Royal. |

Won for the fourth time (all over 5f) when comfortably scoring at Cork five days ago; raised 10lb though has been competitive off similar marks in the past; a big player if in the same form on a quick turnaround. |

Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

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. |
12/1 |

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. |
