10st 0lb |
Five AW wins and two turf wins have been at Navan over 5f; last year's highlight was fine third in Rockingham here; absent since October and may just need this. |

5-13 on AW including this race in 2021; respectable effort when fourth in the Group 2 Sapphire Stakes at the Curragh in July (5f, good); a neck behind Black Forza when fourth over C&D latest (4lb better off now); needs more stepped back up in grade. |

9st 13lb |
Capable of smart form on his day but hasn't won since August 2022 and two runs so far this season leave him with a fair bit to find despite reduced mark; visor back on. |

Capable of smart form on his day but hasn't won since August 2022 and was well held behind Bodhi Bear on his seasonal reappearance; hopes pinned on cheekpieces sparking a revival. |

9st 10lb |
Took his mark to a career-high when winning seasonal return here in March over 5f (soft-to-heavy) off 87; stiff task and ran as well as could be expected in good-class Naas Listed following month; has form at 6f/7f so respected back in handicap company. |

9st 9lb |
Gelded in the off-season and won on seasonal return for the second year running when landing a Curragh handicap (5f, sft-hvy); this is harder and has lots to find on the figures, but he's relatively lightly raced and there could be more to come. |

9st 9lb |
Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this yard at Dundalk before disappointing in Cork Listed race next time on soft; much better over C&D last time when a 2.75l sixth behind Mission Central. |

Classy sprinter for Clive Cox and won a Listed and a Group 2 for that yard; decent run on debut for this stable at Dundalk in February, but behind a few of these when tailed off at Cork last time; needs to leave that well behind. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

2nd 6 (9) |

Course winner over 6f but effective at this trip; posted a solid effort on seasonal return when a 4.75l third behind Dmaniac here two weeks ago (6f, heavy); 8lb swing should enable him to get closer to that rival now; player. |

9st 5lb |
Six-time winner is 4-22 on turf; last two wins have come at the Curragh but has run well in defeat over this C&D on more than one occasion; shaped well at Bellewstown on penultimate but needs to bounce back from poor Curragh run latest; 2lb above highest winning mark. |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Top-rated at 85 after nine starts; eight runs last year included a C&D maiden second on yielding and 4.25l third in a 5f listed heat at Cork (5f, good); shaped as though the run was needed at Dundalk last month; cheekpieces go on for return to turf; obvious chance but becoming expensive to follow. |

3rd 5 (1) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Eight-race maiden who ran to a consistent level last year; best effort came when beaten 4l into third behind Ipanema Queen in Listed race at the Curragh in August; bit below form when a beaten fav' at Naas 217 days ago but raced keenly on ground softer than ideal; gelded; surface should suit and sets a good standard. |
