12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Can front-run; reliable sort despite no win since September 2024, albeit with his form dipping slightly behind Holy See at Galway last time (favourite); first taste of this track needs to spark something extra from him. |

11st 7lb |
Dual-purpose; won a 2m2f maiden hurdle (good) here last September; placed in a Listed 4yo hurdle at Musselburgh in February before well beaten off 124 in the Fred Winter; modest efforts on Flat the last twice; has won on soft on the level; could prove to be the main danger. |

9st 1lb |
Dual-purpose; 2-6 on turf on the Flat, both wins coming over 1m4f under this rider at Cork off 50 (soft) and off 64 (good) last season; pleasing return to the level at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) ten days ago after a spell over timber; just 3lb above last win now and trip and ground fine; chance. |

Struggled for form in five runs so far this season and beaten 21l at Gowran latest; step back up in trip may help but hard to fancy. |

Won over 1m4f here a year ago; form has been uneven since, good run over 1m4f in December on penultimate start; failed to build on that over this trip the following month. |

Sole win came on AW; creditable effort on good to firm at Ayr before lesser run at Dundalk last Friday; unproven on this sort of ground and has a poor draw; cheekpieces. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; 0-6 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and kept on well for second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good; refitted tongue-tie) 11 days ago; may still have a bigger run in him; good chance. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won six times on the Flat for James Owen between 1m-1m2f; 0-4 over hurdles although he was in the process of running a good race until making a costly error two out on his handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) in June; makes stable debut and should run well. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time Flat winner; well beaten on hurdling debut in Ireland in 2024 but displayed clear promise when four twice in novice company in April (2m, good), and his opening handicap hurdle mark does not look daunting. |

Got her head back in front at Ayr in August over this trip on quick ground; backed that up with good second on AW off 10lb higher, despite racing keenly; 4lb lower turf mark here so demands respect and drying ground will help. |

Sole win over hurdles came over 2m3f at Limerick last year; some decent runs in defeat this year but has been below form the last twice; chance if rebounding. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) last year; consistent sort finished third on first two runs for this yard, at Clonmel and Wexford, but ran no sort of race at Kilbeggan last time; has to be considered on balance of recent form. |

Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) off 5lb higher last year; consistent sort has finished third in both runs for new yard; this is a higher grade compared to those outings but he's shortlisted. |

Weakened into sixth after racing too freely here (1m5f, good; Gemini Man second) a week ago and has now been unplaced all 19 starts (six times over hurdles); drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted today. |
