15th Oct 2026 Yielding 0m 6f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Beat Nouvel Espoir at Bellewstown (5f, sft-hvy) on penultimate; that rival reversed that form over C&D (soft) 11 days ago; 5lb better off with Nouvel Espoir now and this dual C&D winner can't be dismissed with the forecast rain in his favour. |

Won over 6f at Curragh in March and some solid efforts since up to 7f and has run well over C&D; goes well on soft and his mark is looking attractive so one to consider. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y |
9st 9lb |
Much improved handicapper, hat-trick of wins on soft/heavy completed in the spring at the Curragh and Cork; better again back on similar ground at Naas eight days ago, attempting to make all under top-weight, only collared late on; upped in class here and would prefer it softer. |
12/1 |

13th 5 (11) |
14th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Arrives in search of a fourth straight win following victories in big-field handicaps at the Curragh in November (7f, heavy) and on seasonal return in April (1m, soft to heavy), continued progression when successful over C&D last month (soft), ahead of Collecting Coin and Gleneagle Bay; up another 5lb and better ground raises a question. |
10/1 |

1st 5 (3) |

7f maiden winner on the AW for Archie Watson; has prospered at the Curragh since joining Pat Flynn, ending last season with a 7f win and starting the new campaign with a 1m success; goes well for this rider whose claim is now reduced to 5lb. |

Frequent runner at this venue, 1-22, placed six times; overall record 6-67, placed 21 times; has been showing consistent form, winner and third at Dundalk on either side of third behind Givehertilxmas at Bellewstown. |

14th 9 (11) |
18th Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Her third win over Navan's 6f when scoring by 4l there 11 days ago; probably stays 7f and a greater concern would be the 11lb rise in this stronger company; she'll do well to follow up. |

9st 4lb |
The last of his four wins came off 90 in a Curragh premier sprint handicap in 2022; steadily declining since 2024; not bad efforts lately and stepping up to this trip for the first time might help. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |

First reserve; reached a mark of 94 when winning three times as 4yo; rating has steadily declined since then, although two runs this year not without some merit; blinkers reached for. |
|
|
7th 6 (3) |
23rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Best form in 2022, winning three times in a July-to-September spell, and rising to a career-high mark of 94; frustrating in recent seasons; joined Peter Fahey late last year after a claiming-race third on AW; stumbled out of the stalls over 7f at Leopardstown earlier this month, left with too much to do; capable of better. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; plenty of creditable efforts in defeat on turf since, notably his close second of 23 in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, heavy; acts on good to firm) 13 days ago; bold show likely if in similar form. |
7/1 |

2nd 14 (1) |
19th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Can lead; won two big-field 7f handicaps in Ireland earlier in career and has shone on AW for this yard over the winter, winning six times at 6f to 1m; has looked to have his share of weight since back on turf but this is his first 6f run since an AW win last December and the strong pace will suit. |
14/1 |

Hasn't won on turf for over two years but landed a four-timer on the AW in the spring; has been running consistently on turf since, admittedly starting to look exposed but he should run his race. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
In excellent form at Dundalk earlier this year; 0-9 on turf and moderate effort at Naas (6f, good) on return from 124 days off on latest; should strip fitter now and 7f more suitable so not totally discounted. |
