9st 2lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; produced best run for some time at Dundalk in March when good second over 1m; after three more runs, took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick; backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; was 4lb wrong when ninth in the big handicap here on Tuesday. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; has found a new lease of life, recording back-to-back wins in a Limerick claimer and a handicap at Ballinrobe; 4lb wrong, so needs to raise his game another notch; first reserve. |

10st 3lb |
Solid and consistent, but has plenty of weight; 1m1f Leopardstown win came on soft, but his latest third back there over 1m2f was on good and he ran his race; has his chance, but Keane's preference for stablemate wouldn't encourage support. |

AW winner surprised his trainer when handling soft ground here last month, beating Monday's ready Killarney winner Molto Amichi over 1m1f in first-time cheekpieces; winner got first run on him at Ballinrobe over almost this far, where he kept on well along with third-home Marmeladova. |

Got first career win with a comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success last October off 72; mixed form on AW during the winter; unplaced at Naas last month before winning at Leopardstown, his first turf win at the ninth attempt; 7lb rise may anchor him. |

9st 9lb |
Ballinrobe maiden winner was a length off Daler back there last month (now 1lb better off); seemingly outstayed over 1m4f last time; touched off at Navan last year, so she goes left-handed; handicapped to win when everything falls into place. |
11/4 |

2nd 3 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Ballinrobe maiden winner in May (9.5f, gd-yld); stayed on well for a 2.25l third of 10 on handicap debut back there on latest (9.5f, yielding); good ground fine and this step up in trip looks the right move; big chance. |
2/1 |

3rd 6 (1) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 163y |
9st 9lb |
Went close in a 1m Navan maiden on the third of five starts last season; a revelation on reappearance over C&D, winning a maiden very easily from an 85-rated gelding; has since faced a stiff task when the outsider of four in a conditions race won by the subsequent Group 3 winner Sparan Nua; could be a handicap blot here. |

Fair placed form early last season and won at Roscommon in the autumn; two 2026 runs can be upgraded a little, has met trouble in running both times. |

3rd May 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 30y |

Fair placed form early last season and won at Roscommon in the autumn; did not get the best of runs over 1m2f on seasonal debut,; probably more effective at this trip. |
12/1 |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Can be a tricky ride but justified market support when notching first win narrowly at Roscommon in October (10.5f, soft); wasn't beaten far in C&D handicap last summer from 2lb higher and ran well on return last season; considered. |

Both wins have come at this track over 1m in varying ground conditions; cracking effort back here last time over that trip; up 3lb but the extra furlong is a question. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Two C&D wins last season on good and heavy ground; yet to hit top gear this term but has slipped 4lb below his last success and hinted that he might be coming back to form at Ballinrobe on latest; not discounted. |

|
5th 5 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 163y |

Has recorded his only two wins over 1m at Leopardstown; his record of finishing second ten times strikes a note of caution; below best in four 2026 appearances. |

9st 12lb |
Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good) in May, quickening well to score by 2.5l; not in the same form the last twice and drop in trip needs to spark a bounce-back. |
16/1 |

All six wins in Britain came on the AW; first success on turf came last month over C&D, quickening off a slow pace, despite racing keenly; put a blot on his record when running no sort of race in a Leopardstown event in which Daler finished fifth. |

Third runner for yard; runner-up at Gowran (9.5f) and Ballinrobe (1m5f) early in the season but her last three runs have been well below that level so needs a return to best. |

Now 13lb higher than winning at Clonmel last September; runner-up in her first two starts this term; tailed off at Gowran; no reassurance from her more recent Leopardstown run. |

Won over C&D at this meeting in 2024 off 15lb higher; that win came on yielding and his last win came on heavy so while well handicapped, could probably do with a drop of rain. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |

Five wins for Joe Murphy, latest of them over 1m1f at Tipperary in October; big prices and has shown little in four starts for this yard; mark tumbling, but prefers it soft and will be of more interest when the rain returns. |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; yet to find his form for this stable; reduced rating now (4lb below his last winning mark) but needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition again. |

Won this race last year off 4lb lower for Mick Mulvany; has run well on all three previous visits to this venue and should be sharper for her seasonal reappearance and stable debut at Ballinrobe 40 days ago; visor added to tongue tie; could go well. |

22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 163y |

Has shown her best form at Galway; lacks the benefit of a recent run and may need this on seasonal/stable debut; might be one for the Galway festival in due course. |

Thrived in handicaps at the Galway festival when tongue-tie fitted, notably bolting up over 7f (yielding); has looked held by the handicapper since however (1m) and now takes a drop in trip. |
