12th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 7y |
10st 0lb |
Triple Listed winner, including at Limerick and Newmarket (awarded race) in 2024; not discredited off hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June before set tall task in a Group 2 there in July; lesser run in the Petingo latest (1m5f, good to yielding); mark remains high and blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 0y |

Three-time Listed winner including here over 1m6f and this time last year awarded 2m Newmarket contest (soft) after winner failed drug test; not discredited under hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June and following month tough enough task when fourth of 7 in Group 2 Curragh Cup; back in handicap company but remains vulnerable. |

Three-time Listed winner at 12.5f-2m on good and soft ground; two defeats from two starts in 1m6f and 1m4f premier handicaps at this venue this season, though wasn't beaten far after being hampered last time; rated 107, stamina is assured and while lots more needed to win, he holds place claims. |

9st 9lb |
Not the easiest to place, hence a modest strike-rate for one of her ability; excellent seconds in Listed/Group 3 races and she's faced tougher tasks the last twice, not running at all badly last time at Glorious Goodwood (Group 2); can be involved. |
5/1 |

5th 2 (2) |
3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 9lb |
Her only runs on good to firm were in 2022; close second this season in Ireland on good ground in 1m4f Listed race and to Grateful in 1m6f Group 3; ran respectably in Group 2 latest; usually runs with credit but several others in this seem established at a higher level. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |
6/1 |

2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |
10/1 |

4th 2 |
26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

9st 9lb |
Gowran maiden winner last year over just short of 1m2f; later ran well in defeat in good company including when 3l behind stablemate Dancing Tango in a Listed race at Naas over 1m4f; lost a shoe when poor on return; over 5l behind Dancing Tango when they clashed again at Limerick last month. |

Gowran maiden winner last year over just short of 1m2f ran well in defeat in stronger company afterwards including when 3l behind Dancing Tango in a Listed race at Naas over 1m4f; lost a shoe when poor on return; probably better on softer. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
10st 1lb |
One of three for top yard; won a 1m4f handicap at York last season off 93; yet to get going this year and well beaten in the Ebor and Petingo handicaps the last twice; cheekpieces need to transform. |
40/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 5f 0y |

Two wins include 1m4f York handicap last year; hasn't progressed at four, although close behind Harbour Wind in Group 2 Curragh Cup, most recently down the field in Ebor last month; opposable. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
3yo season ended with a poor show in June but he'd won a 1m4f handicap here (good) by that stage with what looked a highly encouraging performance for longer distances; may have needed the race in a good 2m handicap this June and never had much chance to get competitive from out the back at 33-1 in a 1m6f Group 2 five weeks ago, but the latter display was up with his best on the figures and gave cause for renewed encouragement. |

9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |
