5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y |
9st 6lb |
Four-time winner at around 1m with ease in the ground on all occasions; handles good ground too and is also effective beyond a mile, as she showed when second in a fillies' handicap over an extended 1m3f at Killarney; has made the frame in all except one of her last seven starts. |

2nd 2 (9) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 88y |
10st 0lb |
Four-time winner over 1m with ease in the ground on all occasions, including at this meeting last year; handles good ground too; has never tackled a trip this far, but just failed over 1m1f at Gowran and every chance that she will get it; big player if she does. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Went up an aggregate 21lb for three handicap wins last season; unlucky in a couple of outings of late, beaten a nose over C&D (yielding) in April and just failed at Gowran (9.5f, yielding) on penultimate; solid fourth at Leopardstown (1m1f, soft; Anvika third) eight days ago and rider takes off valuable 5lb. |

19th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Better for the new cheekpieces when C&D third at Dundalk in July but both turf runs since underwhelming (1m4f too far latest); return to this trip to suit so don't rule out. |

Better for the new cheekpieces when third at Dundalk (7f) but finished tailed off at Galway (1m) and doubts remain on turf; stamina issues to address as well. |

Narrowly denied on handicap debut at Fairyhouse (7f, yielding) in May; raised 3lb and not beaten far when losing action late on at Tipperary last time (7.5f, gd-fm); this stiffer stamina test not certain to suit. |

9st 5lb |
Rapid improver last year, winning three times in testing ground; carried that forward to this term when taking the Irish Lincoln here in March; some decent runs in defeat since; ground against him when down the field in the Irish Cambridgeshire; needs rain. |

Rapid improver last year, winning three times in testing ground; carried that forward to this term when taking the Lincoln handicap over C&D in March; some decent runs in defeat since but this ground might not be soft enough. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 10lb |
Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; early-season form also included second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; unplaced twice in Listed races this term; handicap form gives him a leading chance; drawn low. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Off the mark on his second start for this yard when scoring at Doncaster (1m2f) in June and he followed up at Hamilton (1m4f, also good to firm) the following month; raced freely before finishing tailed off at Newmarket last time but that was too bad to be true; return to this trip should be no issue and he's a contender to bounce back. |
7/2 |
|
4th 1 (1) |
21st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-7 in Ireland but he's been a big improver this season and made it 2-3 for George Scott when completing a double at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was against two rivals but he won in decisive fashion and still looks feasibly treated off 5lb higher; strong contender in hat-trick bid. |
8/11 |
|
1st 3 (3) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo who got off the mark at the ninth attempt at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago, prevailing by 3l on his second stable start; kept on for close third over 1m3f on his stable debut and there can be optimism that 1m4f will be within range; strong claims up 7lb for last time. |

16-race maiden who has some modest form (mostly on AW) but was beaten 38l and 30l this month in his two starts for new stable; at least this drop back in trip looks a plus. |

6th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

Ex-Irish maiden who was well backed on turf here last time, when coming away with two subsequent winners; a player on that, having since been picked up from Ross Burdon for 1,800gns, but he's never been quite this far and will need to settle better. |

Gained third career win at Down Royal in June, bolting up; hit with a 14lb rise for that; struggled over 1m4f in a premier handicap at Galway; second in a five-runner contest at Sligo; seems best at around 1m2f; may lack the pace for a race like this. |
