10th Oct 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 65y |
11st 2lb |
One of three for yard; Flat winner (two on soft-heavy) is 0-8 over timber but he ran better on yielding ground at Killarney last time when a warm order but relegated to third place late on (no chance with winner); can build on that effort. |

Two-time winner last year, including on yielding over C&D off 51 and followed up off 60 a month later; went close off that mark at Killarney back in July (11.5f, good); down to 56 after below par efforts the last twice; could bounce back, though very soft ground would be a worry. |

Made light work of a 6lb rise for her 2m6f Downpatrick (good) win when following up at Down Royal (3m, gd-fm); raised another 7lb for that 2.5l success; can go well again, though wouldn't want it too soft. |

Put in a string of positive runs since switching to current stable which culminated in a a neck win at Downpatrick last time (2m6f, good); she had Georgia Calena and Feast behind her that day but now must deal with a 6lb rise. |
11/2 |
Verdict
A lot of these have much to prove on a few counts. Despite a hefty 9lb rise, last week’s decisive Leopardstown winner BRINGSTY may follow up. Barretstown should also go well on the back of AW honours and so too Golden Sandbanks if he handles the ground.[Alistair Jones]
