3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Three-time AW winner rated 68 on the Flat; best turf runs came on easy ground on the level so was an encouraging first run over timber over C&D 13 days ago; could go closer with that under his belt, especially if there's rain. |

11st 9lb |
Recorded a third AW win in July; didn't run badly at Galway over 1m4f (yielding to soft) and his lesser effort there next time is likely explained by the fact it came a day later; hood on for hurdling debut and not ruled out. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoying a fine season; back to back 1m5f wins here (good) and at Down Royal (soft) earlier this summer; went up 11lb and only fifth behind a couple of these at Sligo in hat-trick bid on latest; more needed off 1lb lower. |

First reserve; AW winner is 0-6 on turf but runner-up this term at Bellewstown and Limerick; beaten favourite both starts since, latest when hung left in straight at Navan last week; not one to rule out if getting a run. |

AW winner; 0-5 on turf but filled the runner up spot on first two runs this term over around 1m4f at Bellewstown and Limerick; beaten favourite when behind a few of these at Sligo latest (13.5f, yielding); return to quicker ground a plus; considered. |

Flat winner was pulled-up on hurdles debut in testing ground last November, but a much better effort in a Downpatrick novice last time; penalised 8lb and still needs a fair bit more. |

Course 1m5f winner in June; backed that up with a narrow defeat at Bellewstown; unplaced on last three starts; perhaps too high in the ratings now, though the booking of Jody Townend is a positive. |

Winner over 1m5f at Navan (good) in June off 11lb lower; followed up with narrow defeat at Bellewstown (split Numidia and Celestially); obvious chance on that form but folded tamely at Leopardstown 29 days ago. |

AW winner over 10.5f in March and her higher-grade third at Naas was a good effort; 1m4f has seemed a bridge too far, though, and long way behind Masego over that trip at Bellewstown; excuse for latest run (1m2f) at Navan. |

Dual-purpose veteran and a multiple winner in both codes; won off 3lb lower at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); well beaten over hurdles at Galway on latest but is 9lb lower than when a 2.5l third over C&D last summer so not written off. |

9st 12lb |
Irish raider who won a 0-50 classified event over the weekend; this looks a bit more competitive under a 4lb penalty but the longer trip will suit, with him taking a while to get on top over 1m2f at Ayr; goes on the shortlist. |

Irish raider; ran far better than finishing position suggests (pecked badly at second-last) over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) a fortnight ago; cosy Flat winner at Limerick (1m4f, yielding) in April and needs respecting at this basement level. |

8st 9lb |
Made it 3-6 since joining Daragh Bourke when winning at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) ten days ago, when she idled in front and was value for more than the 0.75l winning margin; went close over 16.2f at Newcastle previously; she might still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb for last time; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Winner at Ayr (1m5f) and Musselburgh (1m4f) in June and has run well on all three starts since, runner-up over 1m3f and 2m on last two occasions; latest was quite a rare run in cheekpieces; should be bang there. |

0-14 overall (0-7 on turf) but wasn't beaten far at all in a 1m4f (gd-yld) claimer at Limerick on latest when an unconsidered 25-1 shot; also went close enough in a 1m4f Dundalk claimer in December; poorly treated on the figures but that was the case last time so could outrun likely odds again. |
