Did all his winning in Ireland on the AW but opposable anyway after two heavy defeats since arriving in Britain, over 6f (good to firm) and 1m2f (soft). |

14th Oct 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won twice on turf over around 1m2f when trained in Ireland; makes British/stable debut and best watched unless the market speaks in his favour. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Took a big climb in the ratings for a Gowran win over just shy of this trip and well held at Galway; dropped to claiming company to score narrowly at Roscommon last month, where he had Darkdeserthighway 3l back in fourth but now 12lb worse off with that rival. |

Winless from 24 starts on the Flat although 65-rated 5yo showed quite consistent AW form last winter for Jack Davison; tries hurdles here on yard debut and probably best watched. |

20-race maiden; in the frame in five of his six course outings including over 1m4f last month; poor run at the Curragh since but respected back here for a yard that get winners in claimers. |

9th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins when trained in Ireland; ran well for second on his stable debut (7f, AW) in July but not so good twice since; not sure what to expect but further rain certainly won't hurt his chance. |
14/1 |

8th 1 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |
11/2 |

10th 1 (9) |

On a losing run but he made a good start for new yard (formerly with Stephen Hanlon) with second of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |

Dual 1m course winner added her eighth rules win when bagging a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; recent handicap runs here at big prices leave a bit to be desired; cheekpieces. |

11th 2 (3) |
29th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Plenty of AW form and won a 1m2f Navan handicap in April on penultimate Flat run; quiet over hurdles the last twice but wouldn't read much into that. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 10lb |
Busy as ever this year, winning over 1m here and at the Curragh (beat Avec Grand Plaisir); a bit below par at Fairyhouse last time; not tried very often over this trip but does stay; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
8th 3 (12) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner approaching the veteran stage; has kept his form very well this year, gaining a deserved win at the Curragh and running well twice since; goes well for this claimer and every chance that he will be on the premises once more. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Has held his form well in recent months; two wins in 2026 have brought his career tally to 11; backed up a narrow Curragh success (Sherekiya, third) with another solid display in taking third at Navan 13 days ago; has won and twice finished second for 10lb claimer Cillian Rowan. |

Three-time course winner at 1m and 1m4f; hasn't fired since returning from a break in July and struggled on return to AW in 1m4f handicap here on latest; needs to revive. |

|
10th 6 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Both turf wins have come over 1m; however, is of some interest based on a C&D win in February; fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago was reasonably encouraging. |

5th 8 (12) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |
8st 12lb |
Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on. |

Yard stalwart handles any ground and back to winning ways on the beach at Laytown; at this stage of his career, not the most obvious candidate to follow up. |

1st 8 (6) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 2lb |
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. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Lost his form in midsummer but his fortunes have been more positive in two starts for this yard, just failing to get up over 6f at Laytown last time; low draw might mean he will need some luck in running, but a leading contender if all goes well. |

Verdict
Having landed a touch over C&D at the end of last month MOYASSR is on a hat-trick at this venue, having scored on his previous start here a year ago. The selection won a shade snugly last time and can defy a 6lb rise from a good draw. Benavente is an obvious danger, even with a wide draw, while Rampage and Comfort Line are solid place options.
