Did well to gain third win when powering home to get up by a neck at Galway (1m4f, yielding) 20 days ago; up 5lb but this trip could suit on that evidence. |

Gained second turf win at Roscommon in May (10.5f, yielding) off 4lb lower; has come up short twice since off revised mark but ran well off 1lb higher at this meeting last year over 8.5f so not dismissed stepped up in trip in first-time blinkers. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 3f 197y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Made up plenty of ground to lead close home at Galway festival (1m4f, yielding; same race she won the year before) on penultimate start but was herself pipped by a fast finisher; won starts either side, latest by a head off the same mark at Sligo (10.5f) four days later; this is a very different track but she has to be considered with her mark virtually unchanged. |

1st 5 (1) |
5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y |
8st 10lb |
Won narrowly at Roscommon in June and went very close to repeating last year's success in a 1m4f Galway handicap; due to go up 3lb for finishing a neck second; holds an obvious chance, providing this does not come too soon; last year's second in this event came after the same four-day interval. |

2nd 8 (1) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |

Four-time winner landed this race last season off 72; was running off that mark when winning at Roscommon on latest (10.5f, good); 6lb rise makes things tougher but she's got a nice low draw, ground is fine and should be in the mix again. |

Dual 1m winner in Britain, both on good ground; no show last year for this stable but both runs this year encouraging, only beaten 2.25l when fifth at Ayr latest (1m2f, good); not well drawn here, however, and may need quicker ground; visored. |

Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |

Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |

Ghaiyyath 4yo ran to a useful level of form on the Flat last year for Charlie Fellows at around 1m4f; yard debut effort at Galway was respectable, considering he was plenty fresh; interesting now switched to hurdles and one to consider. |

Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome. |

Had flashes of good form under both codes for previous yard, whom she left after finishing tailed off in this 12 months ago (went off too fast); lurks on a reasonable mark on just her second run for Joseph O'Brien; finished last in the first (1m maiden) but that was after a long break so could strip fitter now. |
