27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran and a multiple winner in both codes; won off 3lb lower at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); well beaten over hurdles at Galway on latest but is 9lb lower than when a 2.5l third over C&D last summer so not written off. |

11st 6lb |
Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely. |

24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 194y |
10st 0lb |
The latest of her five wins came over 1m4f at Roscommon in May; unseated early next time and 1m1.5f looked too short last time at Gowran; has to rebound. |

Notched third turf win at Roscommon (1m4f, gd) two starts ago, beating Makaiah by 2.25l; stumbled and unseated early lto at Fairyhouse; needs more from career-high mark. |

Wins last year came at Killarney and Dundalk; light campaign this year, most recently just denied over 1m5f at Tipperary in late August; 3lb higher so more needed. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |
|
6 (5) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
8/1 |
|

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 11lb |
No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
9st 0lb |
0-8 last year for Willie McCreery; modest enough start for this yard when beaten 14.5l at Gowran (13.5f, soft); eased 1lb and new headgear combination needs to spark. |
20/1 |
|
7th 2 (6) |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
9st 13lb |
Placed once in seven starts for Willie McCreery; her new trainer appears to have a better chance with Bhean Saibhre; tongue-tie for the first time |
14/1 |
|
5 (3) |
18th Jul 2025 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Fair maiden form but yet to make her mark in handicaps, never competitive when a remote third at Tramore on latest in first-time cheekpieces (now replaced by visor); more needed. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
9/1 |
|
8th 6 (3) |
7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here. |
4/1 |
|
1st 5 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |

9st 7lb |
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. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |

Tough task at the weights in a claimer last time and was third in a handicap at Gowran (extended 1m1f) the run before; rarely wins, though. |

6th Aug 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 129y |

Record of 3-40 but has a mark of only 43 and can be opposed at these weights. |
