9st 5lb |
Generally consistent round Dundalk in recent times, in various forms of headgear, but expensive to follow; trainer always to be respected with runners here but this is the furthest this one's been and he'll need to settle if his stamina is to hold. |

Showed improved form on second handicap start at Down Royal last time over 7f when just denied; raised 5lb for that but has a solid chance if as effective over this trip; Keane stays aboard too. |

Long odds and soundly beaten in trio of maidens at Navan/Dundalk over 5f-7f late last year; never threatened when seventh of 13 on 1m Bellewstown handicap debut last month; booking of Colin Keane a plus. |

Best known as a three-time Curragh winner; five wins in all, none since April 2024; weak form last season; well supported at Navan (6f) on seasonal/stable debut but was always behind and finished last; signs of a return to form here on latest but held by Miss Americana and Hell Let Loose. |

28th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Maiden form has been modest, all three runs on much softer ground; back in trip and blinkered for handicap debut on much quicker ground so plenty of reasons for improvement. |
14/1 |

8th 5 (13) |
3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 2f 120y |

Modest form so far in maidens at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) last October and at Leopardstown (1m, yld-sft) last month; moves up in trip; others have stronger credentials. |

8st 12lb |
AW maiden winner in 2024; one good run last year, a 0.5l second of 13 at Limerick in July; 2lb lower here but has been off since a below par run at Leopardstown last August; might need this. |
16/1 |

7th Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 42y |

Won a Dundalk maiden over this trip in January 2024 but no win since; however, he looked an unlucky loser over 6.5f at Limerick last time when this rider's stirrup leather broke at halfway but was still a close second; should go close off 2lb higher. |

Won twice and placed a further six times from 13 visits here; benefitted from sliding mark when beaten 2.75l into third over C&D 11 days ago; handles soft and well handicapped on best form; second over C&D off 11lb higher in October. |

Scored off 3lb lower at Dundalk (7f) on penultimate; came up short on return to turf when a 3l fifth off revised mark at Fairyhouse (7f, good); eased 2lb and worth a go at 1m on that evidence; place shout. |

Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit. |
