Two-time winner hasn't really fired this year but she did run on well from the back over 7f at Leopardstown last time so return to this longer trip a plus; soundly beaten in a division of this race last season off 11lb higher; others preferred. |

Flat winner hasn't shown much in three maiden hurdles but this is more suitable; may improve and worth checking in the market on handicap hurdle debut. |

9st 7lb |
1m heavy ground winner last year; a couple of decent efforts this season, including when a never nearer fifth of 22 at Leopardstown on latest (1m1f, good); rain no issue but has never raced over this far so stamina to prove but dam won over 1m4f so not dismissed. |

Maiden hasn't built on promising stable debut/seasonal return when a close fourth of 16 at this venue in June (1m5f, good); same mark here and yard in form but must rebound from a couple of below par efforts. |
16/1 |

11th 6 (9) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |
10st 1lb |
Improved effort on debut for this yard at Navan (1m5f, good) last month when a staying on fourth over 1m5f (good); badly away and didn't handle track at Bellewstown latest so that run forgiven. |
8/1 |

9th 1 (8) |

Much-improved effort on debut for this stable at Navan (1m5f, good) 25 days ago when keeping on for a 1.25l fourth of 16; should go well again off 1lb higher if in the same mood. |

Passed by Mr Moonshine close home when fourth at Chester latest, beaten under 1l and clear of Sisterandbrother and Return With Gold; well treated on 2024's peak form, but winless around any course this galloping. |

On yard debut took a 1m2f Naas handicap under today's rider in June and ended a poor run of form with unlucky nose defeat by Longseoir over C&D last month, not clear run and allowing winner first run before running on really strongly at the finish; good chance of overturning that form give a clearer run if handling conditions. |

Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

Won twice on the Flat (1m2f-1m4f) for Ollie Sangster and once over hurdles (2m2f, Kelso) for Rebecca Menzies; beaten 22l and 76l in two starts for new trainer; easing mark isn't enough to recommend. |

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 |

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. |

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; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |
