9st 9lb |
Got first career win with comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW afterwards and turf return at Naas last month was just okay (keen); cheekpieces now added. |

Got first career win with a comfortable 1m Dundalk handicap success in October off 72; just fair efforts on AW since, but he has some decent turf form and could go well back on this surface. |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; tailed off on debut for this stable in the Irish Lincolnshire last month; acts on most ground but can only be watched after that latest effort. |

Won five races for Joe Murphy; acts on heavy ground and could be a useful recruit to the Burns yard; 6lb higher than for his last win, which was achieved at the main expense of Akecheta at Tipperary. |

8st 10lb |
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. |

3rd Apr 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y |

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. |

9st 5lb |
Has recorded his only two wins over 1m at this venue; ground was heavy when he scored off this mark last October, his 2024 win was on good going; his record of finishing second ten times strikes a note of caution; below best in three 2026 appearances. |

Just 2-22 but has taken the runner-up spot nine times; won on heavy at Leopardstown in October off 5lb lower; decent enough return at Cork (7f, soft) when a 6l sixth; Vega's Muse appears to be stable number one. |

10st 2lb |
Went close in a 1m maiden at Navan on the third of five starts last season; ended the campaign with less encouraging runs at Dundalk and Naas; a revelation on reappearance at Ballinrobe, winning very easily from an 85-rated favourite; a one-pound rise to 76 appears surprisingly lenient; if accurate, she will need to take a big forward step to hold her own in this company. |

Sole win off 15lb lower at Clonmel last September (9.5f, soft); runner-up first two starts this term at 9.5f-1m5f; tailed off at Gowran 10 days ago; forecast rain a plus; could bounce back. |

9st 13lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in the last two seasons; produced best run for some time at Dundalk in March when good second over 1m; more recent turf form just about good enough to suggest he can make his presence felt in this grade. |

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. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
10st 2lb |
Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel off this mark; two runs this year not inspiring but soft ground combined with first-time blinkers could see a much-improved effort. |
12/1 |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 40y |

Ground-versatile sort won a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f, good) and a Listowel handicap (8.5f, heavy) last season off 1lb lower; modest effort on seasonal return at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld) but sharper for that and can't be discounted with yard in form. |

All six wins in Britain came on the AW; first success on turf came last month over this trip at Ballinrobe, quickening off a slow pace, despite racing keenly; 6lb rise but remains on a workable mark. |
