Bolted up in 5f Naas handicap (soft) in October; didn't land a blow on seasonal return here over the same trip when ninth of 12; should come on for that but step up in trip isn't guaranteed to suit. |

Last win came at Bellewstown (5f, good) last July off 74; tough sort was a beaten favourite when seventh over C&D on his return; hasn't looked like a winner in waiting in two starts since but is well treated now. |

C&D winner off 74 last July on good; 6lb lower now; course form figures of 32103; tough sort was a beaten favourite at the Curragh on return and was again strong in the betting when poor at Naas a week later; should improve on quicker ground. |

9st 1lb |
Took her Irish trainer's record with runners here to 3-8 when justifying favouritism over C&D four days ago; that came in a 0-55 handicap that panned out nicely and this is tougher under the penalty, but she's respected. |

Irish raider who is on a dangerous mark but her last win was 13 months ago and she's been inconsistent this year; comes with risks attached and she's untried on Tapeta. |

Course winner but no success since 2023; goes well fresh, which he was when fourth at Roscommon; small place chance from an inside draw. |

19th Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

The last of his five wins came in 2023; ran a fine race under an inexperienced rider at Roscommon last time and should be a player with a senior rider taking over today. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 9-78 and has gone close on the AW a few times this year, including on penultimate when strong-finishing third over 5f; this is his optimum trip; player from lower turf mark on beach debut; tongue-tied. |
7/1 |

8th 6 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Six-time course winner (four at this trip) and has gone close a few times this year, including last month when strong-finishing third (beaten 0.75l) to Kerdos over 5f, having had to be switched; big player now at his more favoured trip. |

12th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Six-time course winner, including twice over C&D, but his last four wins here have come over 6f; however, he did go close off this mark over C&D in May and should get a strong pace to aim at; not out of this. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 0m 5f 160y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
5f AW winner when trained in Ireland; modest form for this yard last year and her second on her penultimate run was a modest one in Jersey; two starts here have yielded nothing, including when eased and beaten 23l over this trip (firm) on her reappearance last month. |
