18th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Record of 2-4 over hurdles, the wins at Cartmel (2m1f, good); creditable fourth under a big penalty at Perth (2m) last time; this Skelton runner may still have progress in him; respected on handicap debut, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Unbeaten (2-2) since wind surgery, and carries a double penalty for the back-to-back short-odds wins at Cartmel (2m1f novice/maiden); this is more competitive but, given his connections, and a handicap mark close to 120, he should still be afforded plenty of respect. |

2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 11lb |
Versatile dual-purpose mare who won this race last year (soft); some good runs over the summer although well held in Galway Hurdle; recent Flat efforts just okay but has her favoured ground back hurdling and major chance at the weights; yard continues in top form. |
6/4 |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
9st 12lb |
Versatile dual-purpose mare who won a beginners' chase here (15.5f) in April; runner-up on the Flat at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) in June off 2lb lower; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored; good effort despite racing too keenly at Killarney on latest; fourth in this race last year; each-way player. |

Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance. |

Unraced for Godolphin but it's been a positive start for these connections and she was well on top when it mattered to win a 1m2f AW maiden at odds-on; the runner-up is now a 13-race maiden but this filly has a top-class pedigree and brings lots of potential in handicaps. |

Very likeable first run when close up over the extended 1m1f at Gowran and back in fourth there was Victoria Kesia who would go on to beat Navy Waters at Limerick; good chance. |

Likes soft ground, so the recent rain is no issue and is fit from hurdling but has to prove she stays this far (sole success came over 1m); others preferred. |

Off the mark at second attempt for new yard when scoring over 1m4f at Roscommon last month in this headgear combination; that was after a four-month absence so quite possible she can back that up off 6lb higher. |

0-8 last year for Willie McCreery; modest enough start for this yard when beaten 14.5l at Gowran (13.5f, soft); eased 1lb and new headgear combination needs to spark. |

Won a bumper at this venue and only narrowly denied a third success over timber at Ballinrobe two runs ago; subsequent Flat run worth ignoring and he's feasibly treated; versatile with regards to conditions. |

Maiden produced much less encouraging runs last summer after a good 1m6f Gowran effort ; made seasonal return over 1m4f here last timr when 4.25l behind in eighth (denied a clear run from 2f out); others more appealing. |
