10st 0lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; eased 4lb for midfield finish at Galway last time and worth checking in the market. |

9st 8lb |
Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome. |

Runner-up five times over C&D without winning; mostly out of form this year but down to a career low mark and perfectly possible that he could be revitalised here. |

Is 15lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer and took a step in the right direction when beaten 3.5l over C&D on latest; eased 3lb for that run and well-drawn here; could go well at a price. |

Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has continued to run well since; finds herself off a career-high mark, but another good effort can't be ruled out; has won on good to soft; stable also runs Redhot Whisper. |

24th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Three wins over 1m/1m2f on turf/AW in the spring and has only gone down narrowly in her last two starts, the latest at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm) eight days ago; already due to go up another 3lb for that and holds leading claims. |

Three wins this year, the last two at Bath (1m/1m2f) in April and she's continued to look in good form, beaten a head at Salisbury (1m) on latest start; firmly in the mix if she adapts to this track. |

9st 1lb |
AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard; second at Limerick in June (1m, yielding) but her run over C&D two days later probably came too soon; another promising effort at Killarney last time when defeated by a head (1m, good); wears a first-time visor; chance. |

2nd 14 (5) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Winner on AW in January; unlucky not to finish closer when sixth at Gowran, short of room when travelling well; backed that up with a promising second at Limerick; failed to make his presence felt when a well-supported favourite at Gowran two days later; the race may have come too soon. |

Third-place finish at Gowran was a rare positive recent effort (1m, yielding) on penultimate; didn't build on that in a similar contest there last time; three-time turf winner is well handicapped on his best form and cheekpieces go on now to try and recapture it. |

No AW win since March 2024; respectable showings, behind in-form rivals, over a range of trips (6f-1m) recently, without doing enough to suggest that she's primed to strike; drop back to 7f is helpful and she might have place possibilities; one of two for Iain Jardine. |

Seven-time AW winner (7f-1m4f) when trained in Ireland, latterly in a Dundalk claimer in March; has failed to make the frame in 13 starts on grass, though, hence his much lower turf mark; lots to prove for his new yard. |
