19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
A 23-race maiden whose last run over hurdles came in 2023 over C&D when well beaten off 93; returned from a break with a decent third at Tramore (1m4f, good to yielding); not as good at Galway last time; others more likely. |

9st 0lb |
Second reserve; maiden under both codes, returning from year's absence when creditable third over this trip at Tramore last month; more needed in a deeper race. |

Both wins were over 7f on goodish ground in 2021; placed over C&D on heavy ground in the past and her penultimate effort was encouraging. |

Dual winner on soft last year when third to San Aer in this race; mostly consistent lately over various trips until dropping away tamely at Naas on latest; hard to be confident in but can't be ruled out. |

Two wins in Britain in 2022 came at 1m4f/1m6f on quickish ground; returned from a 578-day absence over 1m4f here last time when last of 14; hard to fancy based on that. |

Two-time Flat winner; 0-14 over hurdles; okay run at Navan in November (2m, heavy) but pulled up when last seen at Fairyhouse in December; others preferred. |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 112y |
10st 8lb |
Two-time Flat winner at Gowran; 0-11 hurdling, standout run when second in 2m1f Wexford handicap (good) over the summer in first-time cheekpieces, most recently didn't count in midfield at Roscommon last month; more needed but don't rule out. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 135y |

Two-time Flat winner; ten-race maiden over hurdles but ran her best race for a while when under 6l away at Bellewstown (2m1f, good); the cheekpieces are working well. |

23rd May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
All wins at 7f/1m but he was placed twice over 5f in Bahrain during the winter; met trouble when second favourite at Chester (extended 7f) on his return to Britain 17 days ago; harder to pin down than some of these and certainly not discounted. |
12/1 |
|
7th 5 (1) |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over 7f and 1m so it arguably bodes well for his prospects here that he's performed well over sprint trips in Bahrain this year; very good second in this race (good ground) last year from an outside stall and this front-runner has fared a lot better with the draw this time; top of the list. |

Off the mark at the fifth attempt when landing a Gowran handicap from 3lb lower in June; struggled since though and looks flattered by that effort; needs to prove he's as effective on AW. |

2nd Jun 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Record over C&D reads 1233 and he's back off the same mark as when successful at Chelmsford (1m2f, Polytrack) in February; player in the returning cheekpieces. |

3rd 8 (1) |
18th May 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Scored over C&D in December (off 3lb lower) and at Chelmsford in February; has run respectably since, including when beaten favourite at Bath last time; remains on a competitive mark and won't be far away. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 (6) |
29th Apr 2026 Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Dual winner on the AW since joining this stable; pulled hard and unfortunate not to finish closer at Leicester (1m2f, good to firm) four days ago, denied a clear passage; may settle better with the hood back on (visor removed) and is one to consider seriously. |
9/2 |
Verdict
The forecast for heavy rain casts a shadow over some of these, notably recent course winner Partisan Hero who bypassed Galway earlier this week after it got wet. NEW HILL is looking hard to win with but it was a decent effort three days ago and she won’t mind deteriorating conditions. The same is true of Fools Glory and Stormy Jenn, who can both run well.[Alistair Jones]
