22nd Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 75y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Needs a bit of luck in his races but he scored at Thirsk in June and both runs since have been solid efforts; should get a good pace to aim at and he can go well despite the widest stall. |

10st 0lb |
Third run for this yard when a head winner at Thirsk (7f, good) and was bang there in a big field at York (good to firm) despite a troubled passage; stays 1m and plenty to like. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 26y |
10st 4lb |
First reserve; 6lb lower than when winning at Dundalk last October (6f) and encouraging effort over this trip at Naas when last seen in July; likely to front run and should go well if getting in. |

3rd 2 (6) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Three-time AW winner who sole turf success from nine starts came over this trip at Leopardstown in 2023 off 65; two runs in premier handicaps this season leave him with a bit to find although was out of the handicap last time; down in grade here and runs off his correct mark so don't rule out. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern. |

Most recent win came in this race last year from a 1lb higher mark (1m, good); has worn a hood on his last two starts, which has resulted in a pair of seconds at 7f/1m; chance returned to the scene of his win wearing the hood. |

Maiden has run well several times over various trips, including at this track; didn't stay 2m2f at Down Royal but was tailed-off over 1m4f at Bellewstown last time; chance if bouncing back. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner whose last five wins have all been at Listowel, notably on successive days last month (yielding) under today's rider, over 1m1f and under mandatory 7lb penalty over 7f; aggregate 15lb rise takes him to a career-high but has to be respected being in such good form. |

22nd Sep 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 15y |

Had been running respectably in handicaps at Galway and Roscommon before winning over 1m1f here yesterday; would carry a 7lb penalty if taking up this engagement to bid for his third win in four years in this contest. |

Veteran has a fine record at this venue, three wins and three places from nine visits; won twice at last year's festival; recent form offers hope he is ready to strike again; however, he is best suited by testing conditions. |

Eight-time winner; captured a Listowel festival handicap last autumn off 85; glimpses of form this year while coming down the handicap; hard to be confident after a disappointing handicap run on stable debut at Naas. |
