Filly often runs well and, while latest was disappointing, has a chance; another who often misses the break; both career wins were last October over sprint trips but stays. |

2-18; experienced filly was narrowly denied in a big field handicap at Leopardstown last time off 66 (7f, good); up 1lb to 67 for that 0.75l third but she won nurseries off 68 and 76 last October; those victories came on yielding-soft and heavy but she handles quicker ground and she should be on the premises. |

Much improved second on handicap debut at Navan last month, stiff task later in month from out of handicap in valuable Naas nursery when reportedly hung right; not out of it back in maiden company but surprising if she played a major role. |

Showed some ability in three maidens over further but bred for sprinting; one to consider on handicap bow, so check the market. |

Promising third in higher grade at Naas (6f, yielding) on seasonal debut but well held on quicker ground at the Curragh; back up in trip for AW bow. |

13th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Out of sorts for Kieran Cotter in Ireland in the spring and there hasn't been much to cheer in four runs for his new stable (sent off favourite on stable debut in June); a change of headgear isn't enough to tempt. |

21st Sep 2026 Heavy 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Well down the field on all three starts for new stable since June; needs to turn things around but his Irish win (in 2024) was gained on heavy ground and he's worth a glance in the betting. |

Ex-Irish 5yo who gained sole career win in spring 2024; down the field on both starts for new stable in June, the latter over C&D, and needs to turn things around; blinkers removed; tongue-tie added. |

Never a threat in his maidens (5f-7.5f) but consequently goes handicapping off a low mark and cheekpieces could bring something to the party. |

8st 6lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; his last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher and he returned from a three-month break with a promising effort at Musselburgh (5f) last month; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out. |

Solid maiden runs at this venue over 5f and 6f on either side of an ambitious Group 3 tilt; narrowly beaten over 5f at Bellewstown on her fourth start; second again over the minimum trip at Navan; can be fancied to uphold form with fifth-placed Answer Me Nay. |
