1st Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 145y |
10st 7lb |
In fine form in August at Tramore and Ballinrobe; had an excuse for a Galway failure, reported to be blowing hard after the race; may bounce back from that to pose a serious threat now. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |
10st 12lb |
Back from 10 months off and in the form of her life; touched off over 2m4f at Tramore last month and stepped up to this trip to fine fine effect when readily accounting for Joshua Chamberlain at Ballinrobe; 6lb rise looks very manageable and there could be more to come; should be okay on the ground. |

Maiden has made a promising start for Harry Kelly; decent third at Clonmel followed by a close second at Tramore (20.5f, good) on latest; nudged up 3lb and stamina to prove at this distance but should go well again. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |
11st 10lb |
Hurdles winner in 2023; almost three years off and coming to the boil nicely judged on his second to Princess Felicia in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe last month; could go close. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |

Was off the track for almost three years but a respectable fourth over C&D last month proved he still retained ability; would probably prefer softer ground, however. |

8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Fair 2m Flat winner; yet to score in this sphere but proved well suited by the step up in trip when a very good third of 16 in 2m6f handicap at Ballinrobe 15 days ago; up 4lb but this Irish challenger merits serious consideration. |
11/4 |

3rd 13 |
24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
10st 10lb |
AW Flat winner extended his record over hurdles to 0-7 when beaten 40l at Downpatrick earlier this month; not a bad run on the level at Tramore since but much more needed back over timber. |

2nd 3 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual AW winner at 1m6f/2m1f last year; 0-15 on the Flat on turf; moderate run at Down Royal over this trip when last seen on the Flat and poor over hurdles in his last two runs; others more likely. |

Left behind previous two modest runs to finish a 2.25l second of 13 at Wexford (3m, good) in first-time blinkers (retained); should be in the mix if the headgear works again. |

Went close at Perth and Galway over this trip last year but well below that form in two starts this year, pulled up at Cartmel 27 days ago; needs more in first-time blinkers. |

Useful Flat form in Britain; yet to show much over hurdles, although not beaten far in seventh at Ballinrobe last month; feasible he can improve. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |

Point-to-point winner hasn't cut much ice in maiden hurdles at 2m4f-3m on varying ground; hood worn the last twice is left off and rider booking a plus but will surely need this after mammoth absence. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid second at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); failed to run to that level 15 days later at Ballinrobe; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Downpatrick in May so not without a chance. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
11st 5lb |
Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 97y |

Improved form culminated in a 3m handicap hurdle win at Wexford in July; disappointing bhind Princess Felicia at Ballinrobe since; claims on her previous form. |

11th 14 |
24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
10st 8lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on latest (3m, good), showing a willing attitude to score by a neck; 4lb rise for that seems fair but not sure this drop back in trip will suit. |

Had a lot of rivals behind when sixth in two-miler at Navan in November; fair front-running fifth over 2m6f on his return at Ballinrobe (no tongue-tie); only 9-2 when running poorly over same C&D, in a tongue-tie; first run over 3m. |

Maiden shaped like he'd improve plenty for the run when a respectable 11.5l fifth of 16 over C&D, under a positive ride, on his return from a break two weeks ago; interesting. |

Hasn't won since October 2024; bounced back from non-completions on first two runs for this yard with an encouraging third over C&D (good) last month; should be in the mix with a repeat of that. |
