Nicely improved on yard debut to win over this trip at Navan last month, didn't appear to stay 1m4f at Galway 16 days later; could still have more to offer at this trip. |

Ordinary form in three maiden runs last season; similar story on seasonal/handicap debut at Roscommon in May; battled well to win at Navan on first outing for the stable; 9lb rise may anchor him |

Didn't show much in three maiden runs last season; similar story on seasonal return and handicap debut at Roscommon in May; has moved to a new yard; 5lb wrong and likely best watched. |

Two wins to her name; has shown consistent form in three starts for this stable after a spell in Britain; capable of playing a featuring part. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Two-time winner has run well on both starts since joining this yard; narrowly denied at Navan (1m2f, good) and beaten just 1.25l when a staying on fourth of 11 at Naas on latest (1m3f, good); should go well again off the same mark upped in trip. |

Mare has been around the houses and is now on trainer number five, but not had a pile of racing for her age; won over this trip off 70 last summer; was gambled-on second on first run of the year at Navan, where she finished well over 1m2f but couldn't peg back another one that was punted; had Genoah over 3l behind that day; big chance if she's gone the right way since. |

Hasn't added to his 6f Sligo maiden win on debut last year but several solid efforts in defeat; the best of those came in a first-time visor over C&D last time; up 1lb but has a good draw and should be a player. |

16/1 |

10th 11 (13) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
8st 12lb |
Best effort came in a C&D maiden in May when a 0.5l second to an 80 rated rival; ran respectably on handicap bow at Navan (1m2f, good) but struggled upped to 1m5f at Ballinrobe latest; drops back in trip now and the return to the AW is a plus. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 7lb |
Promise in maidens and far from disgraced on handicap debut at Navan (1m2f, good) where a 3l fourth of 11 in first-time blinkers (retained); could go well if he stays this longer trip, but pedigree raises questions. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
9st 9lb |
Perhaps a better horse on the AW but has been running fairly well in turf handicaps this year and returning to further will be no hardship; has bypassed some engagements on account of soft surfaces which would be worry if the rain has got into the ground. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 (12) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Solid AW strike rate of 4-8 including back-to-back wins here in the winter over this trip and 1m4f; is 5lb higher than when scoring over C&D in December and running okay on turf in recent starts; could go well back on his favourite surface. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |

Four wins at Dundalk, but winless on the grass; Curragh second suggested he might put that right, but laboured enough effort when favourite at Navan; looks held by Letiza on that running. |

Below best at Dundalk last time but ran a solid race when runner up at Down Royal (1m5f, good) on her penultimate start; heavy defeat in this last year off 1lb higher and remains 5lb above last turf win. |

Two-time course winner over 1m4f; remains 4lb above her most recent win here in March; shaped well over 1m5f at Down Royal on latest but this trip may be on the sharp side. |

2nd 2 (4) |

Two wins apiece on turf and AW up to 1m4f; best turf effort this term when second at Gowran last month; not as good over 1m2f twice since; stepping back up to this trip will suit and cheekpieces added. |

Both turf wins have come over 1m; however, is of some interest based on a C&D win in February; fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago was reasonably encouraging. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Boasts C&D form figures of 211; roared back to form with a win over 8.5f (yld-sft) at the Galway festival on latest; 7lb rise makes things tougher and this is harder but has to be respected given her fine record at this venue. |
