8st 7lb |
Went up 14lb in total for early-season wins at Gowran and Ballinrobe; down the field over 1m6f here last time, and held by several of these on that evidence; probably a bit high in the ratings now. |

One of two runners for yard; won for the fifth time when taking a 1m5f Ballinrobe handicap last time; won over this trip on seasonal debut too; up 7lb and has an unhelpful draw so more needed again. |

A revelation at Downpatrick this summer with three handicap wins over 2m6f; won twice on the Flat for Jessica Harrington; no stamina doubt; has to taken seriously. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suddenly bounced back to form when heavily punted at Bangor (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) in May, but recent efforts have been underwhelming and this drop back in trip may not be ideal; considered only if the subject of another big market move. |
8/1 |

5th 2 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned to form in a reapplied tongue-tie (retained since) and justified strong market support at Bangor (2m4f, good) in March; mixed form since, however, and only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month following a break and wind surgery; needs to raise his game and is unproven at the trip. |
12/1 |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Back today from a second wind operation and it took him a while to find his form after the first; only four ran when third in his latest race and he does look on a stiff mark, 10lb higher than for the easy Bangor win in March. |

Four-time winner; modest efforts since joining this yard; has plenty of work to do to get closer to Lough Leane judged on latest Gowran run; would want it softer; others preferred. |

All six wins have come at Dundalk, although did go close at Roscommon last year; lots to find on more recent form, but has plummeted in the handicap. |

Four-time winner, most recently over 1m4f at Leopardstown early last season; went very close at the same venue last time, confirming a return to form at Fairyhouse; rider provides good value for 7lb claim. |

Winner on soft at Sligo in 2023 and added 1m4f Dundalk AW win this time last year; recent runs at latter venue leave him with a fair bit to find however. |

9th 8 (11) |

His two wins include a C&D score last October; mixed form on turf this year and beaten nearly 7l over 1m2.5f here last week; this trip suits better but still needs more. |

Three Flat wins include over 2m1f at Killarney and more recently 2m AW success in March; back from a break with encouraging third (Party Dress second) in Leopardstown lady riders' handicap last month; one to consider. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |

Dual-purpose gelding snapped a long losing run at Dundalk (2m) in March; seen just twice since and has failed to replicate that effort; questions to answer for now. |

Strong stayer has won at up to 2m1f; got the better of Palamon by 1.5l over 2m on AW in March but was well behind that rival from 8lb worse off at Gowran on latest; might prefer further than this these days. |

11st 7lb |
Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 180y |
9st 10lb |
Bought for £27,000 off Godolphin for whom he won a 1m4f AW novice last year; tailed off on handicap debut at Gowran in April but came good in a maiden hurdle at Cork and now might tap back into that promise he showed for former connections; tongue-tie added. |
