8th 3 (12) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner approaching the veteran stage; has kept his form very well this year, gaining a deserved win at the Curragh and running well twice since; goes well for this claimer and every chance that he will be on the premises once more. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Has held his form well in recent months; two wins in 2026 have brought his career tally to 11; backed up a narrow Curragh success (Sherekiya, third) with another solid display in taking third at Navan 13 days ago; has won and twice finished second for 10lb claimer Cillian Rowan. |

Came with a late run to record an eleventh career win at the Curragh recently over this trip; 3lb rise okay so expected to be thereabouts. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

9st 3lb |
Some decent runs in maidens including at this track last year; the best of three handicap runs this term came when third over a mile at the Curragh; needs to find more but this step up in trip should suit. |
7/1 |
|
8th 13 (12) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Less exposed than many of her rivals here; was having only her second outing of the season when a staying-on third in a blanket finish in a Curragh handicap won by Comfort Line; good chance of turning the tables on that rival. |

|
5th 8 (5) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Three wins this year; bounced back to form on latest at the Curragh (1m, good) when close fourth in blanket finish; 1lb lower now and rates as a player if she copes with 6f for the first time. |
11/2 |

4th 3 (15) |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Rated 75 at his best on the Flat; beaten a length in a Curragh handicap this year his best effort when the stable were out of form; interesting on his hurdles bow. |

Two wins on AW; has been running quite consistently this season; however, she has managed only one success from 32 starts on turf, and has been a beaten favourite in two of her last three starts; hard to be confident. |
12/1 |

2nd 11 |

Recorded her sole success in a 1m Curragh handicap last season; pick of this season's form when second in Limerick fillies handicap, not beaten far at the Curragh on latest, having not had a clear run; not one to rule out. |
7/1 |

8th 4 (10) |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Recorded her sole success in this race last season; also ran well when third in a 26-runner contest here late last season; uneven form this term; stable has hit a good patch of form this week; worth considering. |

6th 8 (12) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

Maiden has been placed several times at up to 10.5f; was close to her best when fourth at Navan last month but completely tailed off at Galway eight days ago; player if she can bounce back. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 4f 65y |

Mildly promising runs in two maidens and a Curragh handicap in the spring (7f/1m); maybe soft ground was the reason she bombed over 1m1f at Leopardstown last month; tongue-tie now fitted and stamina to prove over this far. |
