Four-time winner, most recently over 1m4f at Leopardstown early last season; went very close at the same venue on penultimate; close second in this race last year and is now 7lb lower; rider provides good value for 7lb claim; each-way contender. |

Three-time course winner at 1m and 1m4f; hasn't fired since returning from a break in July and struggled on return to AW in 1m4f handicap here on latest; needs to revive. |

Both turf wins have come over 1m; however, is of some interest based on a C&D win in February; fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago was reasonably encouraging. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |

Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Sprang a surprise in this race last year on heavy ground at 33-1, his sole career win; just 1lb higher now; poor on latest but may have needed that run after a 122-day absence; not well drawn but could go well, especially if there is a lot of rain. |

Record of 3-53; sported first-time cheekpieces when successful at Naas in July (1m, good) before close seventh next time (7f); tailed off at the Curragh on penultimate; well behind Land Of The Giants at Navan eight days ago. |

Won three times under both codes last year (twice at Sligo); best hurdles run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares' handicap in June (good); solid effort when third at Sligo (2m5f) on latest, but she's better over shorter than this. |
