15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Seven-time turf winner ran a nice race to finish second at Gowran earlier this week (12.5f, gd-fm): rated 4lb higher on this surface and while he's 0-17 on the AW, he's gone close on plenty of occasions off much higher marks; chance, once this doesn't come too soon. |

On a long losing run since his last win in September 2024; has had two of his last three starts in Britain; unplaced at Ripon last time, fine effort when second at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) behind subsequent Royal Ascot winner Opportunity; closely matched with Navy Waters on running at the Curragh in June. |

Beat Zoffman (rec 6lb) under top-weight in this race last year when recording career-best RPR; promising reappearance here over 1m2f last month behind Crystal Black but never landed a blow behind same rival at Ascot nine days ago; respected nonetheless. |

Last run on the Flat was at Leopardstown last September when she finished in the mid-division from a 3lb higher mark (1m5f, good); won a Listed mares' hurdle at Punchestown last November before being well beaten in three Graded hurdle starts; trainer may have a better prospect for this in Too Bossy For Us |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; it's not been an easy start for current yard, finishing last in the Grade 2 Kingwell (50-1) and then well down the field when 100-1 for the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; has something to prove all of a sudden. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat and jumps winner for Joseph O'Brien; ran according to market expectations (rank outsider of four) in the Kingwell Hurdle on return from layoff and debut for new stable; drops back in class but needs to prove he's still capable of reproducing best Irish form. |
66/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Flat, chase and dual hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien but he was out of sorts under both codes in his final two runs in Ireland; now returns to hurdling for new yard and this is a daunting task after 139 days off; blinkers worn last time are removed. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
12st 0lb |
Won a beginners' chase easily at Wexford in July (19.5f, good); ran another solid race on latest when runner-up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Galway; 6lb lower back over fences, handles most ground and obvious chance off top weight. |
11/4 |

2nd 2 |
1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |

Won over fences last time at Wexford (2m3f); dual hurdle winner and has posted some smart form in this sphere over shorter; has a chance if getting back to best hurdle form and staying this trip. |

1st 9 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground. |

Off the mark at Sligo last month but disqualified as rider claimed the incorrect weight; well-backed to gain compensation off same mark at Cork 16 days ago but left with a fair bit to do when staying-on third (Zoffman second) over this trip; 2lb wrong here but interesting to see what tactics top US jockey employs. |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer and is unexposed as a chaser; okay run over hurdles last time, and small chance if they've got his confidence back (didn't want to know about jumping on his last run over fences). |

C&D maiden winner; 1m6f win (good) at Navan on seasonal reappearance in April off 91; below par in three runs since but is now 1lb lower than for that last victory; return to AW might spark a revival. |
15/2 |

4th 3 (6) |
13th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 100y |

Made winning seasonal debut over 1m6f at Navan in April; below-form when favourite at Cork for 1m4f event won by Ascending; tailed off behind the same horse in the 2m4f Ascot Stakes; has won over 1m4f and 1m2f. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Most starts on good ground, unraced on firmer; lightly raced 5yo who had 282 days off before emerging from off the pace to win narrowly at Navan (1m6f) in April; below-form favourite behind Ascending at Cork (1m4f) six weeks ago but going beyond 1m6f for the first time is interesting and he holds possibilities if that latest run is forgiven. |

Second runner for stable; formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort in eight starts for current yard a 8.75l seventh behind a few of his rivals here in the Q.R. race at Galway; burst blood vessels on latest start at Tramore; coming down the weights but yard has a better chance with Seddon. |

11st 12lb |
Two time winner over hurdles; last win came at Fairyhouse last October for James Barrett off 109 (2m, good); a pair of okay runs over hurdles this summer but needs to bounce back from a poor run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last month; contender if she does so. |

Dual-purpose mare with three wins on the Flat; last win in this sphere came two years ago at the Curragh off a 5lb higher mark (1m6f, good); her two runs over hurdles for her new trainer this term have been okay; needs to come on again. |
28/1 |

3rd 1 |
15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose mare has won eight races across both codes; made a pleasing enough start for this yard when third of six at Ballinrobe on first run for over six months; should come on for that but she remains 6lb above her last win and she won't want it too soft. |
