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. |

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. |

11st 5lb |
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. |

10st 1lb |
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. |

Both wins on AW and well held behind Makaiah on Saturday; entitled to come on for that but it's a quick turnaround; possible a return to further will help though. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

Point winner whose sole win in 23 starts under rules came in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last May; not shown much this year until chase debut at Tramore last time, falling two out when still in contention (Drop A Threat fourth); should build on that. |

Off the mark with 1m4f success at Dundalk in February and creditable efforts in defeat on AW since; despite missing the break, took the step up to 16.5f in her stride when winning at Gowran (good) on latest; player from 6lb higher. |

Back to winning ways on the Flat at Tramore in July (2m, good); not beaten far in a handicap chase at Wexford in early August (15.5f, good) and 1lb lower now; okay run back on the Flat at Tramore 20 days ago; remains 4lb above sole chase win. |

Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far. |

Three-time hurdles winner with the latest coming over C&D in March last year (good to yielding) off 4lb higher; not too much encouragement to be taken from his two most recent hurdles runs on soft conditions but could do better back on summer ground. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 2f 0y |

Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |
