12th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 7y |
8st 7lb |
Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
9st 7lb |
Only Flat win came over this trip at Galway in 2023 but went close at Navan last month, every chance in a three-way photo when beaten a neck (1m5f, good-to-yielding); 3lb higher but has his chance again. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |

Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024; off since later that year; may need this against that background. |

2nd Sep 2024 Soft To Heavy 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-7 on the Flat; won over hurdles at Ballinrobe in May; below par on last Flat run at Fairyhouse; his flat win came off 64 at Down Royal (1m5f, good) and is 15lb higher here; handles testing ground but may need some respite from the handicapper. |

4th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |

Consistency rewarded with a defeat of 15 rivals over 2m at Ballinrobe in May but after looking threatening to a point he faded into a remote fourth at Sligo (2m1f, good to yielding); remains on the same career-high mark. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |
14/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |
25/1 |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Tardy starts have been a recurring theme for this C&D winner (heavy); very slowly away again on latest at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); can't afford to miss the break badly at this trip; capable but risky; cheekpieces left off. |

Similar mark off which she won over 1m4f at Galway over a year ago but struggling to recapture that level of form, with last two runs very disappointing; this only her second run on the AW. |

14-race maiden; runner-up for the fifth time when pegged back late at Roscommon; previously third over a shorter trip at this venue; deserves to pick up a little race on the balance of form but could be vulnerable again. |
