Three Dundalk wins up to 1m4f and some decent efforts in defeat over the winter season; towards the rear in a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; two undistinguished juvenile hurdle runs; plenty to prove against that background. |

Three AW wins up to 1m4f and some decent efforts in defeat over the winter season; best turf effort when second in a Leopardstown handicap over this trip last year; a player if repeating that. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner for Dermot Weld; ran twice at the big recent meeting at Galway, predictably struggling in a Listed hurdle but then running okay over 1m4f; 0-5 as a jumper but was runner-up over C&D last month; chance. |
7/1 |

British raider; won twice on the Flat when trained by Dermot Weld (1-9 on turf); ran well in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle on penultimate; out of depth in Listed hurdle here earlier this week; this more realistic but difficult draw. |

Dual-purpose 7yo who won C&D handicap hurdle last summer off 92; absent since November so may need this, but jockey/trainer going well and any market strength worth noting. |
8/1 |

3rd 10 |
2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual-purpose; won off 5lb lower at Downpatrick in June (2m2f, yld-sft) and followed up on the Flat at Newcastle 13 days later; below par in three runs on the level since; career best needed off current mark on return to this sphere. |

31st Mar 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Made the running last three starts, easily best of which was her breakthrough win here (1m4f classified) in January; reportedly bled when 5-6 three days later and refused to enter the stalls at Kempton (28-1) 13 days ago; not proven beyond 1m4f (two attempts at 2m) and other options look more solid. |

18th Mar 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 219y Class 5 |
8st 6lb |
Could put the pace to the race; breakthrough win at Wolverhampton in January (1m4f) came out of the blue, for all she was dropping into a classified for the first time; bombed out (though reportedly bled) when carrying 5lb penalty in handicap under same conditions just three days later; rather watch. |

19th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who got off the mark at the 20th attempt when making all in a C&D classified event on Friday; has a penalty back in a handicap but that was a dominant display and she's still unexposed at this trip; key player. |

29-race maiden who has struggled back over hurdles in his last two runs; finished second in a classified event at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in January but was beaten 6l and that took his AW record to 0-12; down the list. |

Runner-up in basement-grade AW race in January but pulled up over C&D (good to soft) when back over hurdles last month and now 0-28 overall; stable has much more obvious chance with Captain Cool. |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Runner-up on AW last month and now has first hurdle start for current yard; however, that recent Flat form is very modest, he's achieved little in this code, and he's yet to win after 27 attempts (seven over hurdles). |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 211y Class 2 |

His 1m4f win on good to firm at Newmarket in July reads well but has finished behind Castle Stuart in their recent clashes and beat only one home in the John Smith's Cup four weeks ago; probably vulnerable off this mark. |

Easy win at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) in May before solid third of 16 over this C&D (good), and he improved again to win at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last Saturday; today's assignment is tougher still but this thriving 5yo could be in the each-way mix under a 5lb penalty. |
