10st 2lb |
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. |

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. |

12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises. |

9st 9lb |
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. |

Winner of four of her five starts this year; needs a step up from last week's win at Gowran to land this but likely to run her race and she'll probably go forward. |

9st 7lb |
Won a 7f Gowran handicap in April; backed that up with 2l third of nine behind today's rival Copacabana Sands in a 7f Naas Listed race before again running with credit when fifth behind the same filly in a Group 3 at Leopardstown; close up in fourth at Galway, stablemate Princess Child was second then, and can uphold the form. |

Won a 7f Gowran handicap in April; backed that up when 2l third of nine in a 7f Naas Listed race before again running with credit when fifth in a Group 3 at Leopardstown last time (7f, soft); something amiss when in rear in Curragh handicap won by Bellaphina. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 0m 7f 111y |
9st 5lb |
Back from a break with a C&D (soft) second 1.5l behind Earls early last month and same mark now; won her maiden over C&D on heavy and not a bad run at the Curragh latest; solid chance if the visor ekes out a little bit more. |

Heavy-ground maiden winner who was second on soft back at Roscommon two starts ago; ran no race last time (favourite) but has a big run in her. |

Won Roscommon maiden on heavy last season and very lightly raced since, returning from five months' absence with fine second at same venue early this month, up with pace throughout when second on soft; will appreciate any softening of the ground. |
13/2 |
Verdict
Impressive on debut here last month MATAARIKI looks to have been found a good opportunity of a follow-up win, this longer trip likely to suit. Quite tight for the placings but You Owe Me Money preferred for the forecast.
