Ended last season on a high with 1m4f Listed win at Naas in a race in which stablemate Starford flopped; maintained progression at Naas on return; beat all bar a restored-to-form Starford in a Group 3 over C&D; has developed into a dependable mare; best suited by easy ground; faces stiffest task yet. |

AW winner in Britain; progressive last year for this stable, kicking off with a Sligo handicap win off 75; ended the season on 106 following two excellent performances in this grade; second in a 16-runner 1m4f event at this course on soft and impressive when storming clear over the same trip on heavy ground at the Curragh. |

9st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate of 1-18 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat, including in Listed company; fine effort on seasonal return when 3l behind Beset in Listed heat at Naas (10.5f, soft); not beaten far when fifth of 12 in Longchamp Listed race latest (10.5f, gd-sft); place chance but overlooked by McMonagle. |

Won a 1m4f maiden in France on heavy at three; placed at Listed and Group 3 level for this stable in 2025; may have been feeling the effects of a busy campaign when below her best on final two outings; appears held by stablemate Beset on running in 1m4f event at this venue and the Curragh. |

9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

3rd 2 (7) |
22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

9st 11lb |
Joined this yard for E210,000 after showing useful form in France; won a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a Listed race at Cork on final start last year; fourth at the same level at Naas on return; talented apprentice booked; may prove the pick of stable's three runners; leading chance. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 2lb |
Joined this yard for Eu210,000 after showing useful form in nine French races; first Irish run last spring was ordinary; much better when winning a rated race over the extended mile at the Galway festival (soft); fair third of seven in a similar race to this at Cork on final start, this race appears to have greater depth. |

9st 0lb |
Joined this yard for 210,000euros after showing useful form in nine French races; did well to get up in the nick of time in a rated race at Galway but she was receiving weight off an older horse who had a mark of 89; this race demands improvement. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 2f 125y |
9st 7lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement (from a handicap low of 62 to his present 98) when beating 24 rivals in last Sunday's Irish Lincoln; suited by the ground and the only runner with race-fitness; has to be taken seriously, although others have stronger claims at these weights. |

Highly progressive last season, improving to the tune of 35lb between June and October; versatile in respect of both trip and ground, but best at form 1m2f on last two starts; won a 21-runner premier handicap here in October and a Listed race at Leopardstown in November; failed to make an impact on return in Naas event won by Beset. |

Highly progressive last season, improving to the tune of 35lb between June and October; versatile in respect of both trip and ground, but best at form 1m2f on last two starts; won a 21-runner Curragh premier handicap in October (good-to-yielding); took the rise in class in her stride when storming clear in a Listed race on heavy at Leopardstown in November. |

Nicely progressive handicapper won here earlier in the season and career-best last month when taking Curragh premier handicap over today's trip in some style; upped in grade now but could well be up to it. |

Showed improved effort here last time when beaten 6.5l behind Minnie Hauk (1m2f, good); that was a step in the right direction but it's still hard to see him playing any major role. |

Won at Dundalk before a creditable third behind Delacroix and Lambourn in last year's Ballysax Stakes; confirmed a good standard when fourth of 12 in the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot; ran better than finishing his position implies when eighth of nine in the Saratoga Derby; unsuited by soft ground in Naas event won by Beset. |

Won on good ground whan trained in France as a 2yo; not many runs since and was picked up by current connections for 3,600gns in an online sale in August; seemed rusty in the early stages but ran on well to be just denied at Leopardstown 14 days ago; up 5lb but a big player if building on that. |
