27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
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. |
25/1 |

11st 6lb |
Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely. |

Modest enough Flat form; latest run over hurdles at Limerick in May suggests he has a future in this discipline; not discounted. |
7/1 |

14th 4 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 56y |
10st 0lb |
Maiden was touched off over C&D on last year's card, and some good efforts on soft or heavy ground in the autumn; form not as good this term and was too keen in cheekpieces when beaten 7l by Deluca Chop at Navan last time. |

27th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Some good form in claimers over the summer, winning over 1m4f at Tramore and second at Killarney (1m); good bit to find with Dark Summit however on latest Sligo run. |
14/1 |
|
7th 6 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y |
9st 8lb |
In good form lately in races in this category; won with plenty to spare over 1m4f at Tramore and then second to a well-fancied rival over 1m at Killarney; this trip should be fine. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 8 (14) |
15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 40y |

Got off the mark when easily winning a Tramore claimer over 1m4f last time; has run well at this track before but likely to find this trip on the sharp side. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 3lb |
11-race maiden on the Flat; good effort when second on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts; returned to form with a second in a 22-runner 1m6f event at Navan in August; faded into mid-division over 2m at the same venue the following week. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Excellent effort on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts; worth considering now having finished second in a 22-runner 1m6f event at this venue last week. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 5 (17) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |

Excellent effort on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May off 2lb lower; beaten 5.25l when fourth at Tramore (2m, good) on latest off this mark; handicapper slow to relent. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Hat-trick of hurdle wins over a little shorter last year; not at his best lately, including in a claimer last time, but now only 1lb higher than last winning mark; stays 3m. |
10/1 |
|
6th 9 |
26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Three wins apiece over hurdles and on the Flat; best recent hurdle run came over 3m at this venue last month; would have a squeak if returning to that form. |
12/1 |
|
6th 7 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three handicap hurdles on the bounce at 2m5f-2m7f on good ground; generally struggled since and his latest two runs have been fairly dismal; returns to chasing for the first time since 2024, when he didn't set things alight in three beginners'. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 48y |
12st 0lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April. in good form on the Flat during the spring/summer, winning over 1m5f at Navan in June and runner-up twice; only just denied when sent back over hurdles at Navan nine days ago; 14-1 then, entitled to be a leading fancy now. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
19th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April and in good form on the Flat since, winning over 1m5f here in June and runner-up twice; may have gone as far as he can on the Flat and probably a good time to go back hurdling; worth a market check. |
8/1 |
|
12th 14 (1) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
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. |

8st 13lb |
A couple of her runs in 2024 suggested she could win a race but missed almost all of 2025 and heavy defeat on return from long layoff at Down Royal last month; cheekpieces go on and she's on a dangerous mark on her best form so check the market. |

Has won twice over hurdles; nothing of much note in his Flat form; getting on in years; modest hurdles form since down the field at Dundalk in February. |

10th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Winning hurdler returned to Flat recently to justify strong market support when hooded first-time in 2m Down Royal handicap under today's rider, beating Sunday's Navan winner Jurality with some authority; hit with 12lb rise but could well play a role. |
5/1 |
|
1st 13 (8) |
29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Better hurdler, winning Sligo maiden (2m2f, good to yielding) in October, just okay run in handicap at Punchestown festival on latest; precious little of note on the Flat last year, tried hooded now on return and may improve. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 160y |
11st 0lb |
Long-standing dual-purpose maiden; 0-8 over hurdles and handicap form has been poor; dropped another 3lb after a 32l defeat at Cork on latest but still hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
9th 11 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |

Verdict
Little strength in depth in this low-grade handicap. Recent winner Desert Friend and last week’s Leopardstown third Jurality hold strong claims, but MEPHISTO (nap) is on an attractive mark compared to the AW, on hist first turf start since October 2024. [Alan Hewison]
