9st 12lb |
Smart three-time winner (7f-1m) for Jack Channon who was bought in July for 100,000gns on the back of two below-par runs in strong handicaps; the season had started well in Listed races (including a third here) and Oisin Murphy is a notable jockey booking; worthy of respect. |

Reasonably consistent, including at Listed/Group level, until running poorly in the Royal Hunt Cup most recently; perhaps best watched as he needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat. |

Dual C&D winner last October on easy ground; restricted campaign this year but recent Galway second a fine effort back on favoured ground; could go well. |

Good record over 6f on straight tracks and on easy ground; was second in C&D nursery at two, but there will probably be stronger finishers up the hill; jockey is one to watch. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Out in box 21 but was drawn in 16 when winning this 12 months ago off 10lb higher; comes with risks, given that he was again slowly away last time at the Curragh, but has a similar chance to Benevento on their previous 1-2 at Gowran; has to be of interest. |

Hold-up handicapper has yet to win for this yard; some good runs over 6f/7f this year, but basically he's been too high in the weights; usual running style not ideal for this place. |

Yet to win for this yard, but handicapper slow enough to relent; fair fourth to Gleneagle Bay at Cork in June; first time here, which will be an eye-opener for him. |

8st 10lb |
Ended last season with C&D win and repeated the feat on seasonal return in March; career-best when upped to 7f at Cork in May when a clear second (beaten a neck) to an improver on favoured soft ground; still-improving 4yo has been waiting for the ground and may not get it. |

8st 12lb |
Successful on second start for current yard when taking premier Habitat Handicap over C&D in May; bit underwhelming both starts since here, never counting after an awkward start in Scurry Handicap and not pace to challenge back to 5f behind Rosie Frith last month. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Added to two British 7f wins when bagging the Habitat Handicap (6f, good) here in May on second start for new yard; another solid display over 7f at Cork next time; never got involved after slipping coming out of the gates in the Scurry Handicap last time (6.5f, good to firm); firmly in the mix but not certain to appreciate this first try at the minimum trip. |

Four wins up to 7.5f and in varying ground conditions; was beaten a long way on return over 6f at the Curragh in March; can do a lot better today but others preferred. |

Fine campaign last season included wins at Naas (6f, gd-yld) and Leopardstown (7.5f, good); excellent run off this mark in 1m premier handicap here (good) in June; below best when last seen at Galway in August; handles softer ground and could go well if he's fit. |

9st 12lb |
Won a valuable handicap over 6f at Naas last year off 8lb lower; not disgraced herself but hasn't been up to competing at stakes level since; interesting back in a handicap with blinkers tried, but might find one or two better treated. |

Second reserve; won her last handicap start in May 2025 (6f; 8lb lower) since when she's been highly tried; not the easiest to assess right now and the blinkers are new (replace cheekpieces). |

9st 4lb |
Made many an 'eyecatcher' list when flying home in valuable 1m fillies' handicap at the Curragh in May; never involved over 1m1f back there next time; unseated early at Galway; failed to take advantage of good opportunity when beaten at a short price in AW maiden last time; headgear. |

Good 2yo maiden form at this trip and just denied on seasonal return in valuable Curragh fillies handicap over 1m in May; clipped heels when unseating at Galway latest but on overall form has leading claims here; good draw too. |
