9st 12lb |
Five-time winner was busy early in the season, winning over this trip at the Curragh; stayed on late at Roscommon last time and should have improved from that; good draw and should go close. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 2lb |
Soft or heavy ground is crucial for him, and wisely was given the summer off after winning at the Curragh in April; twice beat Mercurial over C&D in 2024, including in this race; chance is dependent on how much rain falls. |

1st 12 (10) |
19th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |

Four-time winner whose best form has on soft and heavy at around 7f; got those optimum conditions over C&D last time when third, finishing 1.75l behind Mickey The Steel and 6.5l behind Red Charlie; cheekpieces added to the tongue tie now, but may struggle to reverse form. |

Far better known for finishing second or third than winning; runner-up in a handicap here in May and a close third at Roscommon last month; can be thereabouts again; fourth in this race last year. |

3rd 12 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

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. |

1st 6 (6) |
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. |

1st 7 (9) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |

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. |

9st 11lb |
5-17 AW; beat today's rival Rye by 2l over C&D in April, and always to the fore when winning readily at Lingfield (6f; 6-1, from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; too free when flopping at Southwell 12 days ago, and yet to score from a mark in the 60s. |

First reserve; four wins here including three over C&D; is 12lb lower than when last winning here in March and signs of life over C&D on latest; lurking on a dangerous mark if she gets a run. |

Had a cracking time here last winter, winning four races, three of them over this trip with the latest being under Whelan in March; beach run might have sweetened her, having been ansty in the stalls on previous two starts. |

Out of sorts for Kieran Cotter in Ireland in the spring and there hasn't been much to cheer in four runs for his new stable (sent off favourite on stable debut in June); a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |
