Winner of two of his five starts this season, rising an aggregate 20lb from a basement mark; gave another bright display when third at Fairyhouse yesterday and definitely respected if reappearing here. |

Two wins in Britain came on a sound surface; regressive since starting his Irish career promisingly with a second placing at the Curragh in the spring; hard to fancy having finished in rear when partnered by Colin Keane last time. |

9th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 0m 5f 160y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Denied Connie's Rose close home off 2lb higher at Chepstow in June (6f, good to firm), but behind that rival the last twice (softer ground not to blame) and her season is starting to trail off; others persuade more. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |

Again inclined to hang left behind Connie's Rose last time, when well below market expectations; won over C&D this time last year but that was off a 7lb lower mark and she's weighted to her best. |
10/1 |

2nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 16y Class 5 |

Added a C&D win (a little to find with the runner-up Connie's Rose) in June to two over 6f (good to firm and soft) in 2024; shade below best at Ffos Las four weeks ago but can't rule out back on this course. |

23rd Sep 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Three wins include one on the AW at Lingfield (7f) last October, and it was his best effort on RPRs when a close-up second of 12 over that same C&D last month; has been in good form since wind surgery and makes appeal. |
7/2 |

2nd 2 (10) |
13th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |

C&D win last October off 2lb lower; had a wind operation prior to his seasonal return in June; two solid efforts this year and he's one to consider. |
7/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade. |

Veteran who beat Supremissy over C&D (heavy) eight days ago, registering a fourth success at Hamilton; likely to remain competitive, even with 4lb penalty; has defied higher marks. |

Conditions will suit but he has looked on the downgrade in 2026 after a promising reappearance; drops into what is effectively a 0-55 but still comes with risks attached. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 4 |

Versatile regarding the ground; useful form when beating an improver at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September but his best turf handicap form is on that track and has more to prove following an Ayr defeat since. |

29th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |

Went close twice in a row this summer before winning at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago; he has a strong record at Hamilton but has also run well here and is firmly in calculations under a 5lb penalty. |

1st 2 (7) |
21st Sep 2026 Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 4 |

Often leads; his latest three wins have come over this C&D, including on soft; 7lb higher than the June win but he hung on grimly after losing his lead here in August and has another good run in him. |

Below her best at Brighton last time but had been in a good run of form, as with many from this yard; might just be vulnerable to stronger stays over this stiff 1m. |
5/1 |

5th 5 (2) |
15th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Won at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) in July and she's held her form since, including when runner-up over 1m at Salisbury (good to soft) last time; should go well again back in trip and she won't mind what the weather does; blinkers back on. |
7/2 |

8 (3) |
29th Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock her last four races and prominent throughout when narrowly beaten at Chepstow on Monday; however, that was over 6f and, although she stays 7f, the vast majority of her runs have been over sprint trips and she last raced over 1m in 2021 (finished ninth). |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |

21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

All four of his wins have been on testing ground, the most recent at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) last August; has the headgear/tongue-tie left off on his first start since October and is best watched on ground that will probably be quicker than ideal. |

8yo who is without a win since October 2023 and has finished soundly beaten in Class 5 handicaps on her last two starts; however, before those she went close in one at Chepstow in May and if rediscovering that form she'll be very tough to beat now dropped into a classified. |

On the downgrade in recent times and no surprise to see her fail to build on her Chepstow second when well held at Hamilton last time; the blinkers come off again tonight. |
