12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Ex-French; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard but won over 1m4f at Gowran Park (soft) in April and produced a career best when running on well for second of 20 in amateurs' race at the Galway festival (2m1f, yielding) on latest outing; he didn't have the run of the race in the latter and is unexposed as a Flat stayer; could go very well again. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |
12st 2lb |
Useful AW winner in France over 1m/1m1f; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard; won over 1m4f on soft at Gowran on penultimate start; big burden even with 7lb claimed. |

11th 3 (10) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Useful AW winner in France over 1m/1m1f; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard, winning Limerick novice on heavy over Christmas; fine first effort on the Flat for current yard when winning 1m4f Gowran handicap under today's rider in April (soft) under a positive ride; 5lb higher here but remains of interest. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 13lb |
Looked a non stayer over 2m at Galway and then ran well to be beaten 5l last week at Listowel (1m4f, yielding) in a competitive handicap; has no ground preferences; shortlisted. |
7/1 |

5th 9 (14) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Only 1-20 but has the form to feature off this mark and a likely non-stayer over 2m at Galway in July (after three months off); each-way claims if he's on his game. |
20/1 |

Successful yard debut on seasonal return at the Curragh in March (1m4f, heavy) and has run well on both turf starts since over same trip; stamina unproven over this far. |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Three-time Flat winner in Britain (including on soft) and also winning hurdler; never sighted on recent comeback run, but more expected of here. |
9/1 |

14th 3 (17) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; reliable sort despite no win since September 2024, albeit with his form dipping slightly behind Holy See at Galway last time (favourite); first taste of this track needs to spark something extra from him. |
11/2 |
|
7th 6 (3) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |
11st 10lb |
Showed good form in 2024 with a trio of wins from 1m2f-1m6f; runner-up in three of last four starts last term; fourth to Holy See on seasonal return at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft); another solid display when third over 2m at the Curragh. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Seven-time turf winner who is running well and he wasn't favoured by his track position when just behind War Rooms on Leopardstown's big card last week; considered. |
14/1 |
|
12th 21 (2) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Seven-time turf winner; has never won on AW (despite 18 attempts) so it seems encouraging that he managed a second placing on his latest visit to Dundalk four weeks ago; that was prefaced by a second at Gowran earlier that week. |
25/1 |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 40y |
11st 0lb |
Had a lot of Flat racing, winning only twice but in good form this year; maiden hurdle winner and capable of better than he showed in his latest run over jumps when tailed off in a Ballinrobe handicap in May; some stamina doubts over this far. |
10/1 |
|
4th 10 (3) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
8st 13lb |
Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until staying-on third at Tramore (2m); moderate run over 1m4f next time before beaten a neck in Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (18.5f, good) 12 days ago; the winner followed up at Musselburgh on Saturday; big player. |

Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until signs of a return to form when a staying-on third over 2m at Tramore; confidence dented by a moderate run over 1m4f on Monday. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; is yet to add to her Limerick maiden win of last year; some decent runs in defeat this year including at the Curragh last time; needs more off 1lb lower but cheekpieces might help. |
15/2 |

7th 2 (10) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Yet to add to Limerick maiden win (12.5f, good) last summer; step in the right direction on latest at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) when a 4.75l fourth of 8; shorter trip and faster ground here a plus and rider takes off a handy 7lb; not discounted. |
14/1 |
|
4th 3 (6) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Limerick maiden winner (on good ground) has failed to fire in two runs at Gowran this season, though this is more realistic than the Listed race she contested there last time; a drying track would aid her cause but needs to revive. |

Rated 83 on the Flat and 127 over hurdles; did not show a great deal on his chase debut at Galway but this is easier and stable in fine form. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Useful dual-purpose performer; rated 83 on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 127; out of form on the Flat this year, however, and not bred for chasing; others appeal more. |
