8st 7lb |
Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Record of 9-78 and has gone close on the AW a few times this year, including on penultimate when strong-finishing third over 5f; this is his optimum trip; player from lower turf mark on beach debut; tongue-tied. |

Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

C&D maiden winner last October and best efforts this year have been at this track, most recently staying-on second over 6f in August when 7lb out of the handicap; solid effort off lower turf rating at Cork latest; enters calculations. |

Seven wins up to 7f with latest coming at the Curragh over 6f in August before a lesser Fairyhouse run; all his best form is on faster ground so this isn't ideal. |

Was gaining second turf win when scoring over this trip at Naas in May off 68; safely held both starts since, latest over same C&D so needs to improve; jockey booking encouraging. |

Gained second turf win over C&D on penultimate, beating Nouvel Espoir by 0.5l off 4lb lower; disappointed off revised mark at Dundalk latest; return to this track a plus but must prove she can win off this mark. |

Seeking an 11th course success, having gained his tenth by a narrow margin over 6f here in April (fine at 5f); only 2lb higher and wouldn't read too much into a no-show at the Curragh last time. |
