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 |

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.. |

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 |

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. |
11/4 |

Yet to win since joining this yard and not the most consistent but ran a fine race at Galway (7f, yielding) last week when beaten 2l off 75; good ground is fine but needs to back that up now off 1lb higher. |

Wins in his turn, albeit five of his six victories have been on AW; below par at Ayr last time, but solid runs in 6f turf handicaps earlier in the summer; this is start number 16 of the year. |

The bulk of his winning has been done on AW but he did win a 5f handicap at the Curragh last August; recent efforts need bettering but he would seem likely to give his running. |

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 |

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. |

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
No significant impact in his three runs for this yard, although he wasn't beaten far on second occasion; attractively weighted on lots of Irish AW form, so needs a close look; market reference recommended. |
7/1 |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Always behind on last month's stable debut (5f) but wasn't beaten far when sixth of eight at Windsor (6f, good to firm) a fortnight later; needs to make further progress here but should be fine over this trip and is attractively weighted on best Irish form; market reference recommended. |

Registered tenth course win over this trip in January; that success was his first since September 2024; solid fifths the last twice, the latest over C&D when 2.5l behind I'm Spartacus; has won off a mark of 82 in the past, but majority of wins gained over 5f. |

Four-time AW winner, sole turf success came in 5f handicap at Naas in May 2024; solid effort over 1m at Bellewstown in April and backed that up with a close third over 6f at Naas; a long way below his best at Leopardstown on latest. |

He has gone the wrong way on turf in Ireland this season but he did show clear promise on the AW at Dundalk early in the year, including finishing first past the post in a 6f maiden in February (disqualified on a technicality); he has joined a stable who have enjoyed considerable success with similar types and he's a fascinating contender, for all his draw could have been kinder. |
