Back from a break to finish well behind Reponse Finale at Gowran last month (9.5f, gd-fm); ran well on only previous visit to this venue in 2022 off a much higher mark but out of form for some time so needs to revive. |

Admirable mare rarely runs a bad race and very much at her best on this surface with four wins; tends to come up short at this level though and that is the likely outcome once again. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |

Four-time AW winner; sole turf success in 2021; best run for some time when second in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again did not get the best of runs at Roscommon when fourth in a 1m2f claimer; held by Sweet Baby Zou and Areana on Down Royal running. |

Four-time AW winner but sole turf success came back in 2021; best run for some time when just failing to get up in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again didn't get the clearest of runs at Roscommon 12 days later when fourth in a 1m2f claimer won by Hexagonal; considerably better off with that rival here back in handicap company. |

Won a division of this race in 2024 off 5lb higher; is 10lb lower than when last winning at Bellewstown (1m, good) in April of last year; slow starts have proved costly recently, could go close if gets away on level terms. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |

Showed a hint of ability in three maidens, with her best effort on debut over this trip at Naas; beaten 12l over C&D last time; can do better so watch the market on handicap bow. |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Eyecatching fifth behind more experienced rivals on debut at Naas (1m, good) but failed to build on that at Dundalk earlier this month when 11.5l behind the winner (1m); may do better returned to turf. |

31st Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Fairyhouse winner over this trip last summer (good) before C&D second off 66, trained then by Sheila Lavery; poor comeback run (keen) at Naas last month so plenty of improvement needed. |
16/1 |

1 (6) |
25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 84y |

Returns from a break/makes stable debut; consistent last year and winner of a Fairyhouse handicap last June off a mark of 56 (1m4f, good); 2.25l second at Galway and 3.75l third at Tipperary both over 1m4f on her final two starts last year mean she is now 13lb higher than her win. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form. |

10st 0lb |
Ended long losing run at Brighton last month for Ruby Criscuolo; that came over 1m4f in first-time cheekpieces (back to a visor today) and he's strugged twice since; No Knee Never may be his yard's best chance. |
16/1 |

17th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Cosy winner of 1m4f amateur riders' race at Brighton last month; awkward start and just modest late gains on Lingfield AW since; has run respectably over this C&D but 0-18 on AW; hood returns in place of cheekpieces. |

Three wins this year, two on turf at 7f and on the AW over 1m; most recent win came at the Curragh in June off 2lb lower; held twice since, including when beaten 9.25l after a sluggish start at Roscommon on latest; needs more off this mark. |

In fine form this year; AW winner in February has raced three times at this track, winning twice over 7f and finishing second once over C&D; up 5lb for her latest win here last time (7f, good) under today's rider; could post another bold bid. |
