27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Won off 2lb lower over 1m5f (good) here in May 2025; below best twice since promising seasonal reappearance at Roscommon but the drop to 0-60 company could spark a revival. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Best on good ground and shaped nicely on seasonal return over 1m4f (good) at Roscommon when a 2.5l second; failed to fire at Ballinrobe on latest but didn't get her ground; could rebound on this more suitable surface. |

Started last season brightly with three placed efforts before a 1m5f Navan win; has also begun this season on a positive note when runner-up at Roscommon; only one win from 22 starts (along with six seconds); worth considering if getting a run; second reserve. |

AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |

Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |

Sole win came in this race last year off this mark; eyecatching efforts on both recent starts, at Sligo and when coming from way back to finish fourth behind Miss Australie at Navan last week; looks primed for a bold repeat bid. |

Sole win came off 1lb lower at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last September; close third behind Anightaway and Eastern Wind at Sligo on latest and his good run over 1m5f here in June wasn't his first solid effort at this track (fourth in this last year); chance. |

Dual-purpose mare whose last two wins have come over hurdles; ran respectably in that sphere when fourth in a 20-runner handicap at Galway a fortnight ago; second in two of her Flat outings this year but beaten 12l on the second occasion and appears held by Thegooseiscooked on running at Navan, |

Two Flat wins on AW; no doubts about fitness after three recent runs on the Flat; hurdles mark is based on three 2021/22 outings; getting on in years but could be a dark horse. |

Both wins on AW; returned from absence with moderate effort over C&D but improved effort four days later when 3.5l behind Omakase at Gowran (short of room late on); has to enter calculations 11lb better off factoring in rider's claims. |

Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |
