9st 2lb |
Sent off just 11-4 for her Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) in July, but ended up a well-beaten sixth of eight after hanging left; the form of that race has worked out well, though, and better can be expected for a stable with a fine record here. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 0lb |
Beaten favourite in all four handicap starts for Owen Burrows; okay stable debut at Naas (6f, good); never better than midfield at the Curragh on Sunday (6f, good to firm); this comes quick enough. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Remained a maiden after seven starts for Owen Burrows (beaten favourite in all four handicap starts for former yard this season); purchased for 35,0000gns last month and it wasn't a bad stable debut when a 5l fourth of 11 at Naas (6f, good, 16-1) last time. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Promising debut second over C&D (7f, soft) when behind runner who ran at Group 1 level since; raced freely when fourth at Navan (1m, good) last month; intriguing handicap debutante for yard that had a winner at Navan on Sunday. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 0lb |
Expensive breeze-up purchase won AW maiden and second in AW nursery; improved from seasonal debut when third over 7f at Leopardstown, only beaten a length having led from halfway; up in grade here, so needs to find more, and unproven on easy ground if rain comes. |

3rd 20 (18) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Breeze-up purchase cost £205,000; justified favouritism on debut at Wolverhampton (6f); failed to build on that in two subsequent outings in Britain; runner-up on the second of two Dundalk nursery outings; may improve from his turf/seasonal debut at Naas last month; second reserve. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Placed in several maidens last season at 6f-1m; fine return to action at Fairyhouse (6f, good) in June when a luckless fourth; didn't improve over 7f at Galway last time when a distant fourth (yielding); ran poorly in sole start at this venue in a 7f handicap last season; new headgear combination tried. |

Runner-up in a Dundalk maiden last year for Natalia Lupini; returned from seven months off to run a fine race on his seasonal and stable debut when a luckless fourth over 6f at Fairyhouse; definite player although the draw is not ideal. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 2lb |
Narrowly denied at Fairyhouse in May (7f, good) and again at Limerick in June (7f, soft); bombed out when failing to beat a rival in a 3yo handicap at Leopardstown last time, however, so comes with risks attached. |
16/1 |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |
9st 1lb |
Ten-race maiden was denied by 0.5l by Zenford at Limerick last time out (7f, soft) and just 2lb higher now; went close on good ground at Fairyhouse in May; in the mix again but needs to find a bit more to get his head in front. |

13th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Landed C&D nursery in November when coming from off the pace; fair effort in 7f contest last time when not well treated by the race conditions (raced freely); every chance on these terms. |

6th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Landed a 6f handicap here off 65 when last seen in November; should stay 7f on that evidence but this is tougher and she is not well treated by race conditions. |

Good run on her handicap debut at Roscommon and go no run when mid-division over 6f at Fairyhouse since; plum draw for a filly likely to go forward and certainly respected. |

Betting Forcast
13/2 Snow Light, 6/1 Lohoobb, 9/2 Motta Alta, 11/2 Solana Beach, 20/1 Star Strewn, 4/1 Ninth Crusade, 10/1 Nazario, 16/1 Venetian Star, 25/1 Friendly Invoice, 16/1 Girl Bear, 7/1 Cladach, 14/1 Glasarmi
Verdict
A competitive-looking handicap in which MOTTA ALTA gets the vote on her Galway third-place finish, after winning her maiden on soft. Solana Beach should relish the return to soft and rates a big danger, while Cladach is the least exposed and could well improve enough to play a role. Denis Hogan’s Snow Light has to be respected on yard debut in the Meriden colours. [Alan Hewison]
