Dual winner over 7f last year; returned to form when chasing home Ferrybank here last time; chance if reproducing that but might need luck in running from his draw. |

Won two 7f handicaps on easy ground last year but has run well on faster ground, including over C&D; below his best last twice but is off an attractive mark if back to form. |

Mudlark won at Cork in the spring and over extended 5f in Navan handicap in July; bit to find on recent C&D run and draw a likely negative. |

16th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Fairly treated on her back-to-back runner-up efforts over 7f on AW/turf in August but not quite at the same level in recent starts; Captain Parma is the more obvious of her prolific stable's pair. |
15/2 |

5th 3 (6) |
17th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 6f 3y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Ex-Irish soft/heavy-ground winner; 0-10 for James Owen since June; has posted some good efforts in defeat but struggles for consistency and it was one of her lesser efforts when fifth of seven at Chester (7f, good) on Friday; first run at 6f for over two years. |
7/2 |

5th 6 (1) |
12th Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 5yo who is 0-9 for James Owen since the spring; has posted some good efforts in defeat, most recently when third at Lingfield (7f, AW) last week, but her tendency to race too freely and/or start slowly is a nagging concern. |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Mudlark has been in and out this season; his last run at Tipperary was definitely an out when getting his ground but finishing 18l behind the winner; his run prior at Listowel was decent when a close fifth (8.5f, heavy); serious stamina concerns at this trip. |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

C&D winner off 74 last July on good; 6lb lower now; course form figures of 32103; tough sort was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on return and was again strong in the betting when poor at Naas a week later; should improve on quicker ground. |

9st 10lb |
Won three handicaps last season including this event off 93 (beating Gleneagle Bay a head); career-best when beaten a neck in Group 3 Brownstown Stakes over C&D in July, well below best when dropped in trip latest; one to consider. |
8/1 |

24th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Won three handicaps last season, including the Sovereign Path over 7f at Leopardstown's Irish Champions fixture; solid form this season, including second to Bellaphina (rec 11lb) in a 7f Curragh handicap before career-best in finishing a neck second in a Leopardstown Group 3; failed to match that form when unplaced favourite for a 7f Listed race at Cork ten days ago. |

Unlucky not to get her head in front again this term after an eyecatching second in a Curragh handicap before a neck defeat in a Leopardstown Group 3 last time out recording a career best; looks like a big each-way player again. |

Dual-purpose maiden; rated 110 after five runs over hurdles; best effort in a maiden at Galway in October 2023 when a 6.25l third of 10; out of form in last two runs on the Flat and difficult to know what to expect from him here; others are preferred. |

Not beaten far when fourth of five in recent 5f race won by Savannah Smiles (heavy ground) but is effectively on the same mark from 2lb out of the weights today and has very modest 1-33 strike-rate. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 0m 5f 10y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |

22nd Jul 2025 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 6 |

A few near-misses over C&D off higher marks since coming over from Ireland and didn't run badly on turf last time, when done for toe over 5f back from a break; wouldn't be a shock were he to pop up despite the wide stall. |
