9st 2lb |
Four-time winner here including handicap over this trip on this card last year off 67; joined yard after second in C&D claimer in March but yet to run anywhere near his rating on turf, latest in Roscommon claimer; should appreciate return to AW. |

Four-time AW winner is 0-22 on turf; best of three runs for this in-form yard when only beaten 2l in a 1m5f Leopardstown handicap; could go well even from 2lb out of the handicap. |

Is 1-16 on turf and no win since June 2023; not bad efforts the last twice in a Naas handicap and a Gowran claimer but more needed back in a handicap off this mark; others appeal more. |

10st 0lb |
Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |
18/1 |

Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Useful on the Flat and over hurdles and he ran pretty well when second at Downpatrick in August on his sole chase start; he's also the only one who has run recently but he was tailed off on the Flat at Naas only on Sunday, and others in this race appeal as having greater potential. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
9st 8lb |
Rated 129 over hurdles and satisfactory chase debut when runner-up at Downpatrick last month; 6-28 on the Flat, his last win in this code gained at Dundalk (2m) in January 2025; inexperienced rider aboard; runner-up in this race in 2024 but only sixth last year. |

Rated 129 over hurdles and probably ran to about that mark when runner-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle earlier this month; makes his chasing debut here and clearly respected if his jumping holds up. |

Record of 0-20 on the Flat but has shown flashes of potential, including when runner-up at Gowran (7f, yielding) from 2lb higher in April and third at Tipperary (1m1f, soft) in May; needed the run at Punchestown last month and might figure. |

Verdict
Jaafel makes obvious appeal on the strength of his recent form but THE BOG BANK could be up to the task if getting into a rhythm on the front end. She arrives here on the back of some rock-solid efforts in defeat. Chazzesmee won’t be far away if able to deliver his best on this surface, and similar sentiments apply to Knocknakilla. [Mark Boylan]
