14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Highly progressive in winning all four starts last year, including twice in Curragh handicaps and Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m4f); very light campaign this year, inadequate trip on return before close second to an all-the-way winner in Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown last month; first attempt at 1m6f here. |

9st 9lb |
Highly progressive in winning all four starts last year, starting in Curragh handicaps at 1m and 1m2f; even better at 1m4f, landing Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot and taking this race by 5l from subsequent Irish Cesarewitch winner The Euphrates; should be sharper than when one place behind Sons And Lovers over 1m2f at the Curragh in April. |

Won over C&D at this meeting in 2024 off 15lb higher; that win came on yielding and his last win came on heavy so while well handicapped, could probably do with a drop of rain. |

Five wins for Joe Murphy, latest of them over 1m1f at Tipperary in October; big prices and has shown little in four starts for this yard; mark tumbling, but prefers it soft and will be of more interest when the rain returns. |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; yet to find his form for this stable; reduced rating now (4lb below his last winning mark) but needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition again. |

Once very useful sort with eight turf wins but is yet to win on AW; fine effort from the front over inadequate 6f (rider dropped whip) here last Friday and one to consider back at his optimum trip and rider's valuable claim. |

Has struggled in eight starts since winning a 1m1f Listowel handicap last autumn; rated 85 after that success, now 15lb lower but even so can be given a chance at these weights; good 7lb claimer aboard. |

Top rated two time course winner for former yard, including at this trip; running well in handicaps this season; beaten 0.5l at Naas off 75 latest (10.5f, good to yielding); her course wins came on easy ground and today's conditions and drop in trip have to be a concern. |

Dangerous when gets his favoured soft conditions, as when bolting up at Bellewstown in October; recent Ballinrobe comeback run should have brought him on but won't get his preferred ground here and terrible draw to overcome. |

Dropping down the handicap has led to a revival in recent months, winning a 1m handicap at Dundalk and a 7f Galway handicap last month; continued in fair form with Listowel fourth; ground versatile, one for the short list. |
9/2 |
Verdict
Fast Tara has often been highly tried and she was placed in her only previous handicap, so she’s interesting kicking off for Joseph O’Brien. Mr Rango and Duke Of Leggagh are others for the shortlist but CASANOVA (nap) is back to a mark he should be winning off and it was an excellent return effort in the Irish Lincolnshire.[Alistair Jones]
