Last success came in Fairyhouse claimer (6f, good) in May; ran okay without threatening last three outings; has solid C&D form (second and fourth) and booking of Keane a big positive on first start for Ian Donoghue. |

Beaten off 59 in handicaps on last three starts but did win her last start in claiming company at Fairyhouse in May (6f, good); this is a better race and a bit to find on the figures. |

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. |

Won a 7f Gowran claimer on her last run for Ger Keane; well below her best on two starts for this stable; others more likely. |

Very consistent on turf this year for former yard, culminating with Gowran claimer win (7f, good) last month; failed to see out the mile on stable debut nine days ago; career-high mark to overcome. |

9st 2lb |
Has finished in the first three in her last six races on turf; narrowly denied in a 7f claimer at this venue in May; backed that up with third placings in a maiden at Bellewstown and a handicap at Naas; thoroughly deserved her win in a 7f claimer here last month; has joined Ian Donoghue and can continue to pay her way. |

9st 7lb |
Irish raider with nine wins on his CV (four gained on Polytrack); comes here after three good efforts in big-field turf handicaps last month (5f-6f) and ought to make his presence felt. |

C&D winner sent off single figure odds on last two starts at Naas (both 5f, good) and ran respectably; is very well handicapped on best form and won't be inconvenienced by softer ground if the rain arrives; can't discount. |

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; another reasonably encouraging run when fourth at Leopardstown last week. |

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. |

Last won in October 2024; has been way below best in 2026 and is now rated just 26, so is 14lb out of the weights here; new visor needs to spark. |

8st 10lb |
Sole win came in a 6f Curragh handicap off 53 in 2024; failed to beat a rival in a Navan handicap nor a Fairyhouse claimer in what were his final two starts for his former yard; hood goes on now but hard to fancy. |
80/1 |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 6f 25y |

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. |
