11st 6lb |
Has backed up a maiden hurdle win at Tramore with two pleasing Flat runs; finished third of 18 over 1m4f at Cork, and second of 15 over 1m6f at Listowel, both races won by the same horse; can keep up the good work in his first handicap hurdle. |

10st 0lb |
Back to form in winning a Tramore maiden hurdle and backed that up with a 3l third of 18 over 1m4f at Cork; returning to further is probably a good move and claimer takes 7lb off his back this time. |

Poor in two Flat runs on return from a break but bounced back with a maiden hurdle win at Tramore on latest; that will have boosted confidence but this trip may be on the sharp side back on the level. |

9st 11lb |
Two-time AW winner; yet to score on turf but hasn't run badly at times; posted an underwhelming effort at Leopardstown (1m, good) last time returning from a break when 6.5l behind the winner Frank Pickle; needs to improve. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Two-time AW winner; yet to score on turf but has run well in defeat, his best effort coming in a Killarney maiden last July (1m, yld-sft); okay run at Dundalk latest but might prefer a bit of an ease on return to the grass. |

9st 12lb |
Made all to win C&D maiden in November and got his first handicap win off 3lb lower in January; pestered for the lead before fading into sixth last time (race won by Neo Smart); worth another go. |

9st 3lb |
12-race maiden; runner-up in a Roscommon claimer in August and bounced back from two lesser runs when a distant third over 2m at Thurles last week; return to this trip is fine and not out of this back down at his preferred sort of trip. |

Maiden has run well a number of times, notably when second in a Roscommon claimer in August but looks out of his depth here on official figures; new headgear combination tried. |

Maiden has run well a number of times, notably when second in a Roscommon claimer last month; outspeeded late in a 7f Laytown handicap last time but this test will suit better. |

Knocking on the door in recent starts; raised 3lb for short head defeat at Leopardstown on latest (7f, good); has run well on yielding to soft; in the mix again. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 0m 7f 30y |
10st 0lb |
Regressive in Britain; has been consistent in maidens since joining Johnny Murtagh; Irish handicap debut at Naas provides plenty of encouragement; runs from a mark 13lb below her original assessment as a juvenile. |

Close up in a maiden last time when the winner was rated only 63; consistent though and this is her first handicap for Jonny Murtagh. |

Maiden has shown mild promise of late in handicaps at Roscommon and Sligo, but more needed to warrant an interest here on her first try at the trip. |
