18th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Won two in a row in July (1m2f/11.4f) and she's run pretty well in big fields on her last two starts, most recently fourth of 18 at Cork (1m4f); every chance that this extra furlong will be within range and she's won on ground from good through to heavy; this Irish raider could be in the mix. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |

Shaped well at Killarney before a mishap here at the festival, when clipped heels and unseated rider; beaten joint-favourite at Roscommon, never in a challenging position over this trip. |

C&D winner last May off 11lb lower; hinted as though returning to form when an encouraging third at Killarney but then clipped heels and unseated at Galway; likes it here and could go very well. |

Started the season with a couple of solid efforts and back to form in 1m4f Cork handicap last month when good second to an improver (won again since); tongue-tie now tried and one for the shortlist. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Back-to-back C&D wins in the spring, and close second here in July; best turf effort of the season when close third to Darius Dark over 1m4f at the Curragh; looks held by Pavilion End on Leopardstown running last month; however, back on his favoured surface now with Sadhbh Tormey's claim back in play. |

7th 7 (6) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y |

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. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Went up 7lb for winning so well at Navan (1m6f, good) and started slowly when a closing third at Down Royal (1m5f); same mark today but without the 5lb claimer who was aboard for those last two races; still respected. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 1 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 194y |
10st 8lb |
Back to form with a vengeance at Navan last week, relishing the rain-softened ground (officially good) to win going away over 1m6f (Maxwell Smart a never-nearer fourth); up 7lb for that, but stays in this grade. |

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. |
7/2 |
|
15th 11 (14) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 2lb |
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. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Gained a second Flat win of her career at Tramore 15 days ago (1m4f, gd-yld); up 7lb but has won off 1lb higher before so this mark not beyond her but probably wouldn't want to see too much rain. |

Winner over this trip at three; won a hurdle and some good placed efforts on the Flat last year; comes here a fresh horse and ran respectably at Ballinrobe last month where met some interference. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Both Flat wins last season were gained on soft ground; tailed off at the Curragh in May; no impression over hurdles last time; not one of the stronger contenders. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Two-time Flat winner; 1-18 over hurdles but that win came in August 2023; remains 1lb above that sole success and ordinary effort on the level on return from break on latest; others appeal more. |

Both turf wins were over shorter trips; solid recent AW effort, but stamina remains a concern. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Two-time turf winner below best on grass so far this year and extended AW record to 0-8 when soundly beaten over 1m4f here last month; others arrive in better form. |

1-21 hurdles record is concerning; however, he has held his form well since winning on the Flat at Sligo in May; excellent run to take second in a valuable Galway festival event; similar display when runner-up at Cork only two days later; has had plenty of time to recover. |
