10st 1lb |
C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a Fairyhouse claimer (6f, good) last time, beating some much higher rated rivals; only other win came over C&D; up 19lb for her latest win which dampens enthusiasm. |

9st 8lb |
Near misses in two claimers during May extended her losing sequence to 16 so she's had plenty of chances now; rated only 62 so should be vulnerable again. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 (6) |
28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |
9st 8lb |
Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps last winter and ran well above her handicap mark when pushing Gloriously Glam close in 7f Gowran claimer eight days ago, albeit when allowed to dictate a steady pace; handicap mark has gone up 9lb but meets that rival on same terms here; blinkers now tried and drops in trip. |

Maiden was placed three times in AW handicaps in December/January, most recently respectable third in low-grade Roscommon handicap; plenty on at the weights here. |

9st 11lb |
Below best in handicaps on last two starts; solid form in claiming company (form figures of 3113); handles most ground and went close over C&D on her only previous visit in October; big player. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Was gaining a fourth career victory when landing 7f Gowran claimer (good to yielding) last month; beaten favourite next time in Fairyhouse claimer; finished last of eight in 7f Gowran handicap last week but she's 3lb below her last winning mark, will appreciate the forecast rain and could bounce back under 7lb claimer. |

8th 5 (3) |
12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Solid fourth behind three of today's rivals over C&D in April; was gaining a fourth career victory when landing C&D claimer (good to yielding) last month; beaten favourite in Fairyhouse claimer on latest; fair mark returning to handicaps; respected. |

8st 8lb |
Nine-time winner, including five on turf; last won over 6f (good) here in May 2025; went close in a 21-runner 5f handicap at Naas three starts ago; faded late into fifth behind Sovereign Cry when favourite back at Naas last time. |

9st 4lb |
Nine-time winner including five on turf; last won over 6f (good) here in May 2025 off 65 and is 5lb lower now; went close in big field over this C&D (good) on penultimate; below par over 6f at Fairyhouse 3 days ago but could rebound back here with rider claiming valuable 7lb. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Nine-time winner; returned to form when second of 21 over 5f at Naas last week; has tended to show his best form at this distance, though also effective over 5f/7f; holds a definite chance |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
8st 10lb |
Was in the form of his life around this time two seasons ago with back-to-back 6f wins for Michael O'Callaghan; signs of a revival when seventh of 21 at Naas last month; needs to provide further reassurance to become a betting proposition. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 5f 0y |

Generally regressive in the last while and was poor in a Fairyhouse claimer last time in a first-time visor; others make more appeal. |

Won twice over this trip for Michael O'Callaghan on turf in 2024, showing a liking for quick ground; placed in AW claimer over the winter but generally regressive; visor replaces cheekpieces here and looks to have something to find. |

Modest form last season, failed to make an impact in a claimer on stable/seasonal debut; not one of the more obvious candidates. |

Sole win came over this trip in Curragh handicap in 2024; good second in first-time cheekpieces at Naas last summer but little since; would be much better off with all of these in a handicap. |

Won off 13lb higher at the Curragh in 2024 and went close off 45 at Naas last summer; lacks a recent run but not one to rule out. |

Won off 11lb higher at the Curragh a year ago; solid second at Naas in August but beaten favourite twice since; blinkers go on now; possibilities if they perk her up and she takes to this surface. |
