Exposed performer who hasn't been at his best since winning over 7f here last September (has won over 1m); tongue tied for the first time. |

1st Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Veteran has shaped very nicely the last twice at Leopardstown (7f, yld-sft) and Roscommon (7.5f, good); close third off 3lb higher over C&D last summer; big chance with the step back up to 1m sure to suit. |

Veteran won over C&D at this meeting two years ago; ran well under Foley, successful on him the only other time he rode him, on seasonal debut at Leopardstown. |

21st Dec 2023 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Dual 7f course winner; yet to win over this trip but has been placed over C&D; back on a handy mark, as shown when he was just held here (7f) latest; up 1lb; not ruled out. |
5/1 |

2nd 1 (6) |

Back on a good mark and it was his third run after a long absence when a closing third over this far (best trip) here a month ago; dropped into a Class 6 now and his turn could be near. |

9th Jul 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
C&D scorer but she came in a below-par fifth of 12 in 9.5f Wolverhampton handicap 16 days ago; she could bounce back though with Oisin Murphy now up. |
4/1 |
|
8 (13) |
23rd Jun 2025 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Handy sort who has gained all six wins over 7f/1m on the AW; back off her last winning mark and probably needed her Kempton return 12 days ago after 405 days off, but she will need plenty to go right from the outside stall. |
12/1 |

11th Jun 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
All six wins have been on AW including over C&D; only 1lb higher than for her last success but she returns after 405 days off and this is competitive on her comeback; down the list. |

Has won his last two races, the latest over this C&D in August by 3l; interesting off this 4lb higher mark. |

26th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Triple AW winner (including here) who was on a long losing run until popping up in a Windsor classified (1m2f, good) three weeks ago; had previously looked a little unlucky when second in a similar event over C&D in March; chance. |
6/1 |

4th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Triple AW scorer but is on a long losing sequence; modest fourth in classified contest at Windsor (11.5f) when last seen seven weeks ago, taking turf record to 0-12. |

Verdict
Top of the list is the Johnston-trained WADACRE GRACE (nap), who has found more progress over 1m in her last two runs, including a close call off the same mark at Southwell last week. The main threat could come from six-time Polytrack winner Brains, who is on a dangerous mark and didn’t get much luck when favourite at Wolverhampton last time. The other one on the shortlist is Deep Sigh, who had a near-miss over C&D on her penultimate run.[David Moon]
