Four wins include valuable C&D handicap and only just failed to get up in similar contest last month, finishing strongly; didn't land a blow but by no means disgraced eighth of 21 in very valuable York handicap latest; new headgear combination tried. |

Irish raider; he has run some solid races in defeat this summer but this looks a tough race in which to try to end a four-year drought. |

20th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Back on song when convincing winner of a 6f Listed event at Naas (yielding) last October; unable to get involved in two runs at that level in 2026 but he was badly checked back at Naas in April and in better form than the 5l defeat suggests; however, he has more to prove back on this track with good to firm ground quicker than ideal; regular cheekpieces are discarded. |

Five-time winner best with a bit of cut in the ground; sole win last season came in a Listed heat at this venue (6f, yielding); may have needed his comeback at Cork and likes it here, but would probably like to see some rain. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
10st 0lb |
Solid 3yo sprinter wasn't hit hard for handicap wins earlier in the season at Naas and the Curragh; after a break raced on unfavoured near side at former venue early this month when never counting; more expected of here, although not sure this wide draw is ideal. |

Solid 3yo sprinter hasn't been hit hard for handicap wins over C&D in April and over 5f at the Curragh in June; back from a two-month spell, and perhaps he'll just come on for this run. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
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. |

C&D maiden winner in April before adding Cork handicap over 5f; wasn't beaten far over same C&D last month on ground plenty quick; should appreciate return to 6f on this surface; likes to force it and has the ideal draw. |
7/1 |

Won a 6f Dundalk maiden in April and a C&D handicap in May on soft; just denied in a Curragh handicap next time but disappointing at York since; has a chance if rebounding. |

Sole win in 25 starts came when he beat Keke over C&D last year; couple of excuses this term (raced on wrong side at Naas last time) and has inched back down to winning mark; blinkers replace visor. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to his name, but has been second three times in five runs here; drops in grade after contesting premier handicaps at the Curragh (excuse two runs back) this season; drawn widest which is probably a slight negative, but it's all on the day as to which side they go at Naas; only 1lb higher than his winning mark. |

Revelation since dropping back to this trip with the addition of blinkers, and being ridden forward, with wins both here and at Naas, only worn down late at latter venue also; dropped out tamely at the Curragh before a much livelier display here last week, third in a 6f event after making much of the running. |

Revelation since dropping back to this trip with the addition of blinkers, and being ridden forward, with wins both here and at Naas, only worn down late at latter venue also; dropped out tamely at the Curragh on Saturday (3lb wrong) however so needs to bounce back; drops in class. |

Dual C&D winner (from 7 career wins) but relatively lightly raced in recent years without success; absent for a year and starts off with a new trainer off much-reduced mark (3lb wrong). |
