Won over 1m on heavy last year but little form of note since, both runs this year over longer trips; blinkers now tried back at best trip but ground a concern. |

9st 8lb |
Bagged back-to-back wins at Roscommon and Gowran in October last year on softer conditions; back to form at Gowran on heavy ground when reeled in late last time (1m, heavy); 4lb hike for last run seems harsh but cheekpieces on now and can go well. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
10st 5lb |
Off the mark over fences at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); came up short off revised mark at Galway (2m2f, good) but wasn't disgraced; return to softer ground no problem and still only a 5yo, so not ruled out. |
8/1 |

One of three for stable; flat and hurdles winner off the mark over fences off 6lb lower at Wexford (2m, gd-yld) when last seen in May; this longer trip should be fine and yard made hay at this meeting last season; can't discount. |

Flat/hurdle wins came in 2024; 0-4 chasing this past season (blood in nostrils fourth occasion) and back hurdling the last twice, notably when placed in 2m Naas handicap off 110; scope for improvement off this 7lb lower chase mark. |

9st 9lb |
Mare is reportedly in foal; got off the mark in a 1m2f Fairyhouse handicap before a solid run at Leopardstown over a furlong shorter; raced keenly then so will have to settle over this longer trip but certainly in the mix. |

12th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Off the mark upped to 1m2f at Fairyhouse last week under a positive ride off a career-low mark; in-foal filly makes a quick return under mandatory 7lb penalty (upped 8lb in future) and has to be respected, despite a high draw. |

Sole win came in this race last year off this mark; eyecatching efforts on both recent starts, at Sligo and when coming from way back to finish fourth behind Miss Australie at Navan last week; looks primed for a bold repeat bid. |

Sole win came off 1lb lower at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last September; close third behind Anightaway and Eastern Wind at Sligo on latest and his good run over 1m5f here in June wasn't his first solid effort at this track (fourth in this last year); chance. |
