8st 13lb |
Won a 6f Dundalk maiden in December and solid runs next three starts, 5f and 6f; poor Navan run in May possibly came too soon after his previous start; showed useful form in making all to beat Nakamura at Fairyhouse; not much between the pair and Joyful Tidings who dead-heated for fourth. |

Won a 6f Dundalk maiden in December and solid runs next three starts between 5f and 6f; his poor showing at Navan last time might have been due to the week turnaround from Naas; can go well if rebounding. |

Won the Scurry last year; runner-up in a Galway handicap over this trip in a busy campaign this year; running off his lowest ever mark today in a first-time headgear combination; interesting. |

Well-travelled 8yo's most recent win came in last year's Scurry Handicap off 86; mixed form this year, notably runner-up at the Curragh and Galway (off this mark), okay runs at the former venue of late; don't rule out. |

Last win came in last year's Scurry here over slightly farther; some good runs this season, but basically he's in the handicapper's grip; went back up 4lb for Galway second over 7f, not as effective over 5f when favourite here last time. |

Dundalk AW winner in April and some good runs at the Curragh in June, notably beaten a neck in 5f premier handicap for 3yos; favourite but faded tamely in first-time cheekpieces over same C&D on latest, albeit not beaten that far; remains of interest. |

Narrowly beaten in a 6f Dundalk maiden in April before winning over 5f there 13 days later; definite merit in handicap debut at Naas, close up until reportedly hitting a ridge over a furlong down, before rallying; went close in a C&D handicap before a solid third over 6f on latest; likely to make her presence felt. |

Narrowly beaten in a 6f Dundalk maiden in April before winning over 5f there 13 days later; definite merit in handicap debut at Naas last month, close up until reportedly hitting a ridge over a furlong down, before rallying; went close over the minimum trip here last time; worth considering. |

Hasn't really built on decent 2yo form of last year, although did scramble home in maiden here in June; not pace to challenge on handicap debut later same month on quick ground and has had a break since; 9lb out of handicap here. |

Useful form in two runs in decent company last summer (both over 6f; good); second of 13 at this venue; not quite as good but respectable nonetheless when third at Naas; coped with easier ground when making a winning reappearance here early this month; opening mark seems fair; strong chance. |

2-7 on the AW but is 1-13 on turf (win came on yielding); won at Dundalk in March off 3lb higher; the best of three turf runs since then came over 7f at Cork on penultimate; not as good dropped back to 6f at the Curragh on latest; moves back up in trip now and might prefer an ease in the ground. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |

Progressed well last year over 7f, winning twice; resumed progress on return in March when defying top-weight at Dundalk; towards the rear over C&D before more like his best when fifth of 15 over 7f at Cork 13 days ago; probably lacks the pace of several of the 6f winners in this field. |

Three of her four wins have come over 5f at the Curragh, including race for second successive year last month when making much of running; another good run off 6lb higher in similar contest 11 days ago when beaten under 2l: stiff 6f here probably not ideal. |

Three of her four wins have come over C&D, including for second successive year last month when making much of running in beating Harry's Hill 0.5l on good-to-firm (Happy Henry fifth) under today's rider; 6lb rise but has to be respected given her record here. |

Won 7f Leopardstown maiden at two; respectable effort on comeback in 3yo handicap at this venue, weakening late over 7f; won with plenty to spare over a little further than this when apprentice-ridden at Listowel; up 7lb and no claim this time, may be vulnerable. |

Beat Punica Granatum in a Gowran maiden last year and ran well in a soft-ground winners' race over C&D on next start; seemingly too high in the handicap this term, but never-nearer third at speed-favouring Gowran was a much better effort and showed he's now on a competitive mark; headgear returns. |
