9st 5lb |
Front-runner's five wins include back-to-back successes earlier in the summer at Roscommon and Gowran; good run at former venue back at 7f on latest off this mark; should make a bold bid again. |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Decent strike rate of 5-22 (three wins here); back-to-back wins at Roscommon (7.5f, gd-yld) and here (9.5f, yld) in May-June; went up 10lb for those two victories but that wasn't the reason why she was pulled up at Down Royal on latest (lost action/scoped dirty); can only be watched after that. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 96y |

Two wins last year, including over 1m at this venue; first two runs this term were moderate, including in a Sligo race in which Chico Guerrera was second; returning to form with a 7f win at Roscommon and backed that up over an extended 1m1f at Gowran with Chica Guerrera in third; can remain competitive despite an aggregate 10lb rise |

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

Improving mare seeking to complete a hat-trick, following a Killarney success when overcoming 7lb rise in 1m1f contest here a fortnight ago, having to wait for an opening and getting first run on runner-up when holding on by a head (pair clear); another 8lb rise to overcome but thriving. |

Ordinary form in turf maidens; improved for switch to AW; won on handicap debut over 7f at Dundalk in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth of 23 at the Curragh in March (soft to heavy); fair fifth of 21 over 6f at the same venue last time (soft); should appreciate this longer trip and better ground. |

Ordinary form in turf maidens but improved for switch to AW and won on handicap debut over 7f in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth here last time (7f, soft to heavy); not certain a drop to 6f is what he wants. |

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year but was well backed last time and the booking of Billy Loughnane draws the eye with first-time visor added. |
