9st 6lb |
Three-time winner at Dundalk over 5f/6f but 0-16 on turf; remains 2lb above her last winning mark and not as effective on this surface. |

20th Mar 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
8st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; three-time winner here, the latest over C&D in December off 48; didn't get the best of runs when unplaced here in February (5f) and raced wide when weakened into ninth of 11 last time (6f); can do better. |

In good form here in recent months; did not get the best of runs when unplaced three weeks ago; Bold Optimist and Inishmot Prince in front of her then; previously second to Masked Angel. |

Possibly a bit high in the ratings now after a 6f Curragh win on his penultimate start; finished behind Bold Optimist and Cashel Blue in a large-field 6f event at the Curragh 11 days ago. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Regained the winning thread over C&D two weeks ago when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; has gone up 6lb but rider's 7lb claim negates that; should give another good account. |

AW winner got off the mark on turf at Naas this time last year (6f, good to yielding) off 5lb lower; ran his best race this term when a 2l third of ten back at Naas last time (6f, good); new headgear combination tried; hasn't run too badly at this track in the past. |

No win on turf since 2022 but scored at Dundalk (7f) for the third time in February; not at his best at the same venue the following month; better when seventh of 18 at Fairyhouse; down the field at this venue a month ago. |

8st 10lb |
On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

All seven wins came over 6f (has run well at 5f) and six of them on AW; turf breakthrough in June when scoring at Fairyhouse (6f, good) by 2.5l off 3lb lower; moderate efforts since, including when beaten by 5.5l at Cork last time (6f, good to firm); others preferred. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Close second in Nottingham classified (5f, good to firm) in July and won a classified here (5.7f, firm) a fortnight later; held in sixth in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) last time but had to wait for a clear run and the return to a shorter trip may be a positive; in calculations. |
5/1 |

6th 8 (10) |
17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Experienced ex-Irish mare who was second at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) in July on third start for Adrian Wintle and won by a nose and the same in a nine-runner classified at Bath (5.7f, firm) on latest, leading from Symbol Of Hope on the post and with Sisters In The Sky grabbing third; considered in this handicap, particularly as going back to 6f may well help. |
5/1 |
|
1st 3 (7) |
31st Jul 2026 Firm 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Irish mare who went close in this grade at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, on her third start for Adrian Wintle, and ought to be better suited by this longer trip; likely contender. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |
11/2 |

10th 1 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
On a losing run but he made a good start for new yard (formerly with Stephen Hanlon) with second of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (2) |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
9st 4lb |
Has attracted good support on all three starts for this stable; kept on well over 7f at Limerick for a never-dangerous sixth; had an excuse (coughing) when soundly beaten at Leopardstown; disappointing in a claimer at Ballinrobe last month. |
10/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |

Well backed both starts for this stable; kept on well over 7f at Limerick for a never-dangerous sixth; had an excuse (coughing) when soundly beaten at Leopardstown latest (1m1f, god); tongue-tie (worn on best runs for former yard) returns and also sports blinkers; interesting. |
12/1 |

15th 9 (1) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Maiden after 14 starts; one of his better runs last year when second over 7f at this venue; heavily supported in the betting when sixth of 14 at Roscommon (7f, yielding) on yard debut last month; this trip and ground may suit better. |

Irish wins came on turf and his record on Polytrack at Dundalk wasn't great; poor this spring and goes without the usual blinkers for his new yard; would want to see support before factoring him in. |

26th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Of interest on his good third at Dundalk (5f, Polytrack) in January on final Irish start; fairly encouraging fifth on stable debut at Ayr (5f, good to firm) last month; couldn't get into it at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last time and he's just 1-17, but is not written off. |
