Not the most consistent on the Flat but useful on her day and three wins to her name, including over 1m4f at 2024 Galway festival; hurdling debut and has been off since November. |

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. |

11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; sole win on the Flat came on the AW off 67 over 1m4f for Ger Lyons; no impact in a trio of maiden hurdles on testing ground but drying track will suit on his handicap debut; could improve and is worth a market check. |

Landed a 1m4f handicap here for Ger Lyons in November; campaigned over hurdles by his current trainer, running respectably behind Boodles hopeful Ndaawi at Naas; blinkers back on here and not without a chance if he stays. |

10st 0lb |
Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |

5th 18 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |

Ground-versatile sort has hit form lately, winning over 1m2f at Navan and carrying a 7lb penalty at Killarney over just short of this trip; up another 4lb but has run well in defeat at this track and looks a player. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
9st 6lb |
Likeable front running veteran goes well here; last won over C&D in May 2025 off this mark and was beaten a neck in this race last year, again off this mark; showed he retained ability when second at Fairyhouse in May; trip was too far on latest, could make a bold bid. |
16/1 |

Veteran won over 1m4f at Roscommon last year and was second at Fairyhouse in May; two Galway wins among his career tally of eight, so not a forlorn hope despite advancing years; second reserve. |
