10st 0lb |
Failed to win at two; put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut at the same venue in blinkers (5f, good); another good run in cheekpieces (retained) at Bellewstown; big burden, rider's claim will help. |

Failed to win as a 2yo but put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) on his penultimate start in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut back there in blinkers on latest (5f, good) and 1lb lower now; in the mix with cheekpieces back on. |

Won two of her first three races at two in Britain; made low-key Irish debut at Down Royal; hard to be confident, but no surprise if she is competitive. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Formerly trained in UK; won twice as a 2yo (5f-6f) and ran creditably in defeat in group and stakes company; not a bad effort on seasonal debut but was poor last time; since sold for 23,000gns; check the market on stable debut. |

9st 11lb |
Narrowly beaten in a 6f Dundalk maiden in April before winning over 5f there 13 days later; definite merit in handicap debut at Naas, close up until reportedly hitting a ridge over a furlong down, before rallying; went close in a C&D handicap before a solid third over 6f on latest; likely to make her presence felt. |

Narrowly beaten in a 6f Dundalk maiden in April before winning over 5f there 13 days later; definite merit in handicap debut at Naas last month, close up until reportedly hitting a ridge over a furlong down, before rallying; went close over the minimum trip here last time; worth considering. |

9st 9lb |
Finished off last year in fine form at Dundalk, backing up a nursery win with a short-head second in a conditions race; had previously finished second in two turf nurseries; was entitled to need last Sunday's Dundalk run when 4lb out of the handicap and slowly away; could be a different proposition now |
10/1 |
|
9th 9 (4) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
C&D winner; finished off last year in fine form at this venue, backing up her C&D handicap win with a short-head second in a conditions race over C&D when last seen in December; is 4lb wrong here, however, and lacks a recent run so is probably best watched unless the market speaks. |
14/1 |

2nd 11 (5) |
24th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
All starts over this trip; fair maiden runs have been followed by two runner-up finishes in handicaps, on latest behind Love Bomb; perhaps this stiffer track could play to her strengths and she has an 11lb swing in the weights with that rival. |

5f Dundalk winner last season; stepped up on previous turf form when winning at Naas; more on his plate now; worth noting form was boosted by the third when scoring at Leopardstown on Thursday. |

5f Dundalk winner last season has yet to make much of an impact in handicap company; beaten 10l on latest at Fairyhouse (6f, good); eased 3lb and the drop back to 5f is a positive so not totally dismissed. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Won a 5f Dundalk maiden last winter but was too keen when poor on return at Naas over 6f; two better efforts over 5f since but the suspicion is that he is better over that trip. |

Belatedly off the mark at Navan when in first-time cheekpieces that now return after another good run behind Platino Bianco last week at Naas (visored); he's shown he can deal with this sort of mark and has to be shortlisted in this field. |
