8st 7lb |
Two wins this season, over 1m2f at this venue in May and 1m3f at Naas on her penultimate start; rider reported she "never travelled" when eased to finish in rear in a Naas event dominated by Minella Rockett and Port Of Spain; first reserve. |

9st 0lb |
Two wins this season, over 1m2f at Leopardstown in May off 77 and on latest when swooping late to score by a head over C&D off 79; a 3lb rise for that seems reasonable and likely to give another good account. |

Got off the mark on 10th start when winning a Dundalk maiden over 10.5f last time; raised 3lb for that but has run well in defeat at this venue before so is one to consider. |

9st 11lb |
Latest win was just under a year ago over 1m1f at Leopardstown, although twice went close on AW over the winter (at this trip and 1m4f); well held in two starts at Leopardstown this summer, although it was a hot race last time and this is more his level. |

8st 11lb |
AW and two-time turf winner whose last success came over C&D (good) last August off 9lb lower; may have needed latest run over 1m4f here after 105 days off so may take a step forward now dropped back in trip with that run under his belt. |

9st 10lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; two fair runs at the Galway festival; moderate display at Tramore; cheekpieces on now. |

10st 1lb |
Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade and forceful tactics when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap off 72 (1m2f, yielding); not too bad in two runs at the Galway festival; good claimer takes off weight and this track may suit. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name but arrives on the back of two fine runs on turf, had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race) and again made plenty of use of when third in 1m3f Naas handicap early this month; definite claims back up in trip. |

Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name and best over farther; had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse, and readily opposed over this trip. |

9st 11lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; eased 4lb for midfield finish at Galway last time and worth checking in the market. |

11st 10lb |
Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |

Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

Back-to-back Dundalk wins in the spring, and close second at Dundalk last month; previously put up his best turf effort of the season when close third to Darius Dark over 1m4f at the Curragh; steps up in grade. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 11lb |
Decent third in a Kilbeggan 4yo maiden hurdle last month (2m3f, good); didn't back it up over 15.5f (yld-sft) at Roscommon latest; could improve on handicap debut for top yard; can't discount. |

A 70-rated Flat maiden with Donnacha O'Brien last year; had two low-key runs in maiden hurdles before showing signs of progress when third at Kilbeggan 11 days ago; has the measure of Earthwatch on that evidence. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Has won twice this season, both at this venue; scored over C&D (yielding to soft) in March off 18lb lower; went in again over 2m2f here a month ago; raised 7lb for that and has never won off a mark this high but can't be discounted in current form. |
