4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Took a big climb in the ratings for a Gowran win over just shy of this trip and well held at Galway; dropped to claiming company to score narrowly at Roscommon last month, where he had Darkdeserthighway 3l back in fourth but now 12lb worse off with that rival. |

One of three for yard; shed the maiden tag in a 9.5f handicap here (good) off 59 on his penultimate start; soundly beaten off revised mark at Galway, though trip/ground not ideal there; drawn wide and trip may be on sharp side. |

9st 4lb |
Fair sixth in 20-runner Navan handicap over 1m5f in April, beaten only 3l; went close in claimers at Roscommon and Limerick during the summer (1m4f and 10.5f); lacked the pace to maintain her challenge when fourth over 7f at Laytown last week; rematch with runner-up Therewillbeglory. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Fair sixth in 20-runner Navan handicap over 1m5f in April, beaten only 3l; went close in pair of claimers since (1m4f and 10.5f); shorter trip might not be ideal, but is certainly in good hands. |
9/4 |

2nd 2 (10) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 94y |
10st 2lb |
fair sixth in a 20-runner handicap over 1m5f at Navan in April, beaten only 3l and would have been closer with a clear run; another respectable run when third in a 1m4f event of this type at Limerick in June; shorter trip might not be ideal. |

10st 3lb |
Third runner for yard; won a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) in July before following up on debut for this yard in Gowran handicap (9.5f, good to firm); two fair efforts since but she might get tapped for toe over this trip. |

1st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe; won a 0-60 handicap here on debut for Ado McGuinness; longer trip may have stretched her stamina at Roscommon two weeks ago. |
9/2 |

3rd 11 (5) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 94y |

Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe last month; raised 6lb for winning a 0-60 handicap at Gowran last week on debut for Ado McGuinness; had a fairly hard race, but has a strong chance if fully recovered. |

9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner; sole turf success in 2021; best run for some time when second in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again did not get the best of runs at Roscommon when fourth in a 1m2f claimer; held by Sweet Baby Zou and Areana on Down Royal running. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 13lb |
Four-time AW winner but sole turf success came back in 2021; best run for some time when just failing to get up in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again didn't get the clearest of runs at Roscommon 12 days later when fourth in a 1m2f claimer won by Hexagonal; considerably better off with that rival here back in handicap company. |

4th 1 (6) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 94y |
10st 2lb |
Four-time AW winner; sole success on turf came in 2021; despite negatives attached to her turf record and a hefty burden, holds a definite chance on her second in a 22-runner handicap at Leopardstown 12 days ago. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Won at Tramore last month off 10lb lower; not in the same form since and was well held in a Roscommon claimer 12 days ago; may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

5th 9 (1) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 94y |
9st 0lb |
Three-time Flat winner, went up 11lb for a convincing success in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore last month; subsequent runs in a Flat handicap at Galway and a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan raise significant doubts; well enough treated by the race conditions if recapturing form. |

Holding his form generally well since an early-season win at Cork, apart from a below-par run at Ballinrobe last month; back to form with a solid effort in finishing fourth of 17 at Galway only eight days later. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |

Four-time winner; scored on seasonal return at Cork off 8lb lower; chased home Bay Of Dreams off 2lb lower at Bellewstown on penultimate; never landed a blow behind Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe on latest; visor replaces cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

9th 2 (13) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |

Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

Twice successful for Joseph O'Brien last year; has failed to take to hurdling for this stable; well below best on both Flat starts this term; needs to step up from a poor Ballinrobe run behind She's Ideal; highest-rated of Denis Hogan's three runners, so might be unwise to ignore |

Lost his form in midsummer but his fortunes have been more positive in two starts for this yard, just failing to get up over 6f at Laytown last time; low draw might mean he will need some luck in running, but a leading contender if all goes well. |
