31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |
9st 1lb |
Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

First reserve; has run well in both starts this season; beaten 2.25l when runner up at Listowel when last seen in May; has gone well fresh before and C&D form figures read 224; chance if gets a run. |

Over two years since latest of only two wins; second over 6f at the Curragh in October and ran well over 7.5f on return, but poor strike-rate overall; prefers it soft but handles good. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 0lb |
Three wins here over 7f-1m but does stay this far and has multiple placed efforts over C&D; on a dangerous mark and a recent spin over hurdles at Wexford will have blown away any cobwebs; chance with rider taking off handy 7lb. |
5/1 |

13th 3 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Three-time AW winner is rated 54 on that surface; 0-19 on turf on Flat; makes hurdling bow with a good rider aboard but others more likely. |

27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Three course wins at 7f/1m and is now 2lb below his last winning mark from January last year; knocking on the door here recently, placing in four of his last five runs (three over C&D); took third in a higher grade last week; leading chance. |

The last of her five wins came over this trip at Leopardstown last autumn; below that form in three starts this year; has plenty to find with some of these on today's terms. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y |

C&D winner in October but the ground was heavy then and she does prefer give underfoot; no better than seventh this season (good/yielding) and there will be other days for her. |

Durable mare enjoyed a fine summer in 2024, compiling form figures of 2311 before a below par ninth of 16 on final start at Galway; best suited by soft/heavy; should be better for last month's reappearance at Fairyhouse. |

Lightly-raced filly put in decent efforts last twice, at Limerick and Killarney over 1m; squezed for room late on latter occasion but still has to find a bit more. |

6th 10 (8) |
19th Jul 2023 Yielding 1m 0f 40y |

Lightly raced filly was having her first run since last summer when a promising fourth on handicap debut at Limerick last month, staying on well after not clear run, still green; likely has more to offer and could go close. |
