All four wins, three on Flat and one over hurdles, came on soft; runner-up on last two starts in Cork Derby and when splitting a Willie Mullins-trained pair at Galway; not certain to uphold Galway form with Night Moon. |

Last win came over this trip on heavy ground at Gowran last year and is penalised 7lb here for that; some fine runs in defeat this year but faces a tough task against some of today's rivals. |

9st 11lb |
C&D winner in 2023; both wins have come on heavy ground; some decent efforts in defeat this year; got little luck in running at Listowel; got going too late at Down Royal on Monday; big ask on these terms. |

Both wins have come on heavy ground; some decent efforts this year and was raised 6lb for a good run in Listed company; got little luck in running at Listowel a week ago and can do better; rain would help. |

13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Initially disappointing for this stable this year but exploited a much-reduced mark when making all to beat a next-time-out winner at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) in August; possibly went too hard when attempting to follow up next time; remains on a workable mark and one to consider. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but exploited much-reduced mark when making all to beat a next-time-out winner by 8l here (2m2f, good to firm) last month; back up 8lb for that but remains well handicapped on old form. |
10/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Sole Flat win came in 1m4f Galway handicap three years ago; reasonable form on Flat in early summer, mixed form over jumps before a good effort in third over a longer trip at Thurles, 2.75l behind today's rival Glittering Gem. |
14/1 |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Some good efforts on the Flat this year and not a bad return to fences last time when third in a Kilbeggan handicap; could get into the shake-up. |
6/1 |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 3lb |
His run on the Flat at Galway may have come too soon after a satisfactory hurdles run at the same venue (fourth in a 19-runner 2m6f event); lack of chasing experience is a concern. |

11st 5lb |
Sole win in 24 starts (including jumps_ came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden at Killarney in 2023; placed over hurdles before a fair fifth on the Flat at the Curragh on his penultimate start; remote tenth at Tipperary 11 days ago. |

Sole win in 22 starts came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden in 2023; placed in a maiden hurdle 12 days ago but that's modest form and hadn't threatened in his previous Flat handicaps before that. |

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. |

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. |

Maiden winner (1m) at last year's festival but has been struggling in handicaps this campaign and well held over hurdles of late; reduced mark but remains opposable. |

Inconsistent this season; good run on soft at Gowran in April followed by two ordinary efforts; ground should be okay but others look much more likely. |

3rd Jun 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
9st 5lb |
Close behind Annexation and Duke Of Leggagh before reportedly struggling on the drier surface (good) at Leopardstown; that casts some doubts given the likelihood of similar conditions here, but she's a course winner. |
