In My Teens
IN MY TEENS shaped as if ready for this step up in trip when ninth at the Curragh last time on her return from hurdles and remains unexposed on the Flat, so can make the most of this stiffer test. Factual Fact ran really well over further here 25 days ago and is respected off just a 4 lb higher mark, while Truth Be Told won cosily at Leopardstown from well back but faces a 7 lb rise.

Won twice from 3 starts since the visor was applied, most recently winning a 16-runner handicap at Gowran Park 27 days ago with a turn of foot. Up 9 lb and faces a significant step up in class but he's in such good hands that he's hard to rule out.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosGowran Park1m 4f 40yYielding (Good in places)Flat1/16Roscommon1m 4f 17yYieldingFlat2/11Navan1m 2f 40yGood to Yielding (Good in places)Flat1/23Bellewstown1m 3f 90ySoftFlat3/12Curragh1m 2fHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Flat4/25- 7(5)Factual FactJ: R.

Done well since switching to handicaps, winning at Killarney over 2m1f in May before good second of 12 here at 1¾m 25 days ago. Likely still well enough treated after 4 lb rise assuming drop back in trip doesn't inconvenience.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 6fYieldingFlat2/12Killarney2m 182yGoodFlat1/9Curragh1m 4fSoft to HeavyFlat2/14Cork1m 7f 200yYielding to SoftHurdlepu/15Curragh1m 4fHeavyFlat2/23- 6(7)MarazionJ: Shane FoleyT: Mrs J.

Off the mark in May before good second of 24 on handicap debut over 1¾m at this track. Only sixth of 9 in a Group 3 at Cork 14 days ago but this drop back in grade looks more her thing and could figure.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCork1m 4fGoodFlat6/9Curragh1m 6fGoodFlat2/24Roscommon1m 4f 46yGoodFlat1/12Navan1m 6fSoftFlat7/10Killarney1m 3f 50ySoftFlat3/7- 3(12)In My TeensJ: G.

Had a hurdles campaign before returning to the Flat 36 days ago, only finishing ninth of 20 in a handicap at this track, but he looks well worth stepping up to this trip and has scope for more progress than most of these.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/20Punchestown2m 45yYieldingHurdle10/24Fairyhouse2mYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle6/8Leopardstown2mYieldingHurdle7/10Fairyhouse2mYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdleur/6- 9(13)RetracementJ: Ben Martin CoenT: John Patrick Murtagh, Ireland68410-6Age 512/116/114/1

Won at this course over 1¼m on soft in October and promise to be taken when sixth of 20 in a handicap here in May after 7 months off. Likely to strip fitter for that outing and could figure if handling this step back up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat6/20Leopardstown1m 4fHeavyFlat14/16Curragh1m 2fYieldingFlat1/8Curragh1m 2fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat4/21Dundalk1m 2f 150yStandardFlat8/14- 10(2)Star HarbourJ: Adam CaffreyT: Adrian McGuinness, Ireland7-65042Age 812/110/111/1

Landed a handicap at Dundalk on all-weather in January before scoring at Leopardstown over this trip 44 days ago. 8 lb higher mark in a much deeper race means the hat-trick will probably prove beyond him.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown1m 4fGoodFlat1/10Dundalk1m 2f 150yStandardFlat1/7Galway2m 130yGoodHurdle4/11Curragh1m 2fGoodFlat4/14Leopardstown1m 1fSoftFlat4/12- 14(6)Railwayview LadyJ: W.

Less exposed than most of these but hasn't pulled up any trees this year, though this longer trip is likely to be more her thing and better can't be ruled out.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat8/20Leopardstown1m 2fGoodFlat8/11Leopardstown1m 4fHeavyFlat16/16Down Royal1m 4f 194yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat2/13Navan1m 2f 10yGoodFlat1/18- 4(4)Cloud SeekerJ: Andrew Joseph SlatteryT: A.

Had 3 runs in Bahrain during the winter, finishing runner-up in January, then returned with a solid 5th of 20 in a handicap here 36 days ago after a 3-month break.

Produced a career best when fifth of 15 in a handicap at Cork in May and showed promise on recent hurdling debut.

Better than the result when seventh of 15 in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel 23 days ago and now returns to scene of last Flat win in 2024 so isn't without hope.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosClonmel2m 113yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle7/15Curragh1m 2fGood to Yielding (yielding in places)Flat14/21Leopardstown1m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat5/6Galway1m 6f 14yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Flat5/7Roscommon1m 4f 17yYieldingFlat6/11- 1(9)Dawn RisingJ: J.

Has shaped as if building up to something recently and his stable is in excellent form, but he's likely to be of more interest when back at 2m+ so probably best passed over on this occasion.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCurragh1m 6fYieldingFlat7/12Curragh1m 2fGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat12/20Navan1m 6fHeavyFlat8/11Newmarket (rowley)2m 2fGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/19Curragh2m 80yYieldingFlat5/30- 8(1)What's Your GameJ: D.

Won back-to-back handicaps, most recently at Leopardstown in May on first run for current connections, coming from well back and picking through to win cosily. Up 7 lb but already proven over this longer trip and well worth a crack in this better race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown1m 2fGoodFlat1/11Thurles1m 4f 132yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Flat1/6Gowran Park1mGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat4/13Curragh1mGood (Good to Yielding in places)Flat9/20Gowran Park1m 1f 100ySoftFlat5/6
