2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
10st 3lb
|
First reserve; improved for step up in trip in landing 3m2f Sligo handicap last month, just holding on after being clear for much of the way (Justatan 17l away third, fourth went close here during the week); 6lb rise seems okay, could go well if getting a run. |

Has shown promise over C&D last two starts; fourth in claimer on final start for previous yard and well-backed third in higher grade of handicap last month, when wrong at the weights; had placed form on testing ground in points; new headgear combination. |

Placed in three handicaps last August at up to 2m6f; 10l winner over this trip at Downpatrick in June; held when favourite twice since; good ground is important to her. |

Took a sharp rise in the ratings for a smooth Downpatrick win; met trouble when favourite at Bellewstown last week; her fourth placing (beaten 10l) can be upgraded a little. |

Heavily-raced mare belatedly opened her account in 3m1f handicap hurdle here early this month (good); week later ran well off lower chase mark when third at Killarney (2m7f); not sure if this drop in trip will suit but each-way claims off handy mark again. |

11st 0lb |
Sixth of 18 over hurdles at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding) was her best hurdles run, but she didn't build on that at Limerick last time when tailed off (2m4f, soft); probably best on a sound surface. |
33/1 |

Blinkered when placed three times in middle-distance Flat handicaps on a sound surface for Johnny Murtagh; recent Punchestown sixth was best hurdles run so far and mildly encouraging. |

17-race maiden over hurdles; her Sligo third from last July off 3lb higher would give her a squeak, but well below that level since returning from a break, including over fences; more needed although the rider booking is a positive. |

10st 5lb |
Fairly lightly raced overall; in very good form this year, winning a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in May and solid efforts since including over 3m here last time; drop back in trip is fine; handicapper has not been harsh on her and the jockey of the moment is booked to ride; ticks a lot of boxes |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Breakthrough win at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; form of that has worked out with her pulling clear with Global Skies who won his next two; well-held second on soft next time and ran just okay when fifth at Limerick 21 days ago; capable of a big run but needs to reverse form with Set The Tone. |

Verdict
Placed at this venue on both starts since joining John Cullen’s County Mayo yard, PHOENIX ARIZONA has good prospects of opening his account, though it was very close between him and Georginas Jet last time. Laska Du Breuil is another with an obvious chance. Sekakarma seems to be improving at a late stage in his career. El Arco is a potential dark horse on his debut for Gordon Elliott. [Alan Sweetman]
