10st 9lb |
1-7 over fences; best run since his beginners' chase win at Down Royal (19.5f, good) last year came when a 3.75l third at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); disappointed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen latest; runner up in the QR handicap on the Flat here in 2024 so not totally discounted in new headgear combination. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

9st 10lb |
Got up to lead on the line at Leopardstown (1m7f, good) last month and he followed up by a neck at Down Royal (2m2f, good) last Friday; this bang-in-form 6yo may well complete the hat-trick. |

Dual bumper winner and maiden hurdle winner; some decent Flat runs in seven attempts; placed twice in conditions races at Leopardstown this season; remote third behind Murat on the first occasion; fair chance of reversing form on these terms. |

Dual bumper and maiden hurdle winner; some decent Flat runs in six attempts including over C&D last time when he faced a difficult task against some quality rivals; can't be ruled out back in a handicap. |

12st 4lb |
Sole win over hurdles came at Tramore in 2024, best of five runs on the Flat came when second at same venue in 1m4f maiden in July, didn't count over 2m there latest; others look more likely on handicap debut. |

Sole win over hurdles came here in 2024; also ran well on the Flat here when second in a 1m4f maiden when 1.25l ahead of Dream On Baby; well below that level at Galway since so has to rebound. |

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; however, he is vulnerable as a 12-year-old in such a competitive handicap; has usually shown his best form on a sound surface. |

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |

Been a grand horse for his small yard, five Flat wins and a couple of strikes over hurdles; has won over 2m6f and beat Stede Bonnet readily over this trip at Roscommon in June; mid-field over 2m6f at Galway on latest hurdles outing. |

Useful dual-purpose sort who stays well; fit from hurdling, won at Roscommon on his penultimate start; went close at Killarney in May on his only Flat start this season. |

8st 9lb |
Won twice in France and added a maiden hurdle here in June 2025; lost his form afterwards but firmly back on track with close seconds at Galway (1m4f, yielding to soft) and Navan (2m, good); respected despite a collective 9lb rise. |
8/1 |

Two wins on the Flat in France in 2024; lost form last year after a maiden hurdle success; came back to life at the Galway festival when staying on well for second in a 17-runner handciap over 1m4f; good chance for a powerful trainer/rider partnership. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |

First and second in 1m5f Leopardstown handicaps on either side of an excusable defeat at Galway; mark untouched after last time and the removal of cheekpieces is no big deal. |

30th Sep 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 110y |

Dual-purpose mare has a record of 3-22 on turf, with those wins coming on a sound surface; not bad runs on two of last three starts but others make more appeal. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
12st 2lb |
Back to form with close third under a positive ride at Leopardstown (1m7f) in July; another good effort to secure second place when out of the handicap at Tramore (2m); folded tamely at Navan a fortnight ago but big drop in class and dangerous if allowed to dictate from the front. |

Bounced back to form with a close third under a positive ride over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July; closely matched with Friary Road on that running; another good effort to secure second place when out of the handicap at Tramore last time; could go well. |

11st 12lb |
Grand family dual-purpose performer won his latest hurdle at Tramore in May (2m) and been running well on the Flat since, including when finishing well over 1m6f here on Monday; not quite proven over this far and lot of weight to shoulder for a relatively handy type. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (17) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
9st 12lb |
3-36 and two of those wins were over hurdles; however, made up a lot of ground to be third of 16 in a 2m Flat handicap at Navan 19 days ago and that entitles him to a place on the shortlist. |
12/1 |

3rd 12 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination. |
12/1 |
Verdict
An interesting race with plenty of chances. Boxing Great is only up 1lb for his win at Leopardstown and should go close, and where he is, Catalani won’t be far behind. Friary Road might improve still after his good effort at Leopardstown last time. Day Trader and Miss Gitana both have solid claims. The vote goes to COOLEY’S MIST(nap), consistent since joining Harry Rogers and coming here in good form after a narrow defeat at Leopardstown. [Justin O’Hanlon]
