16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
9st 7lb |
Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

9st 7lb |
A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

9st 9lb |
Five-time winner (two on turf) effective at 1m-1m4f; had been running well on the AW this year before a poor effort on testing ground at the Curragh when last seen in April; this ground more suitable and has gone well fresh, but yet to win off this high a mark. |

8st 7lb |
Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Scored his third course win and his first over this trip when a neck too good for today's rival Benavente last month; had reached the first three in six consecutive races before last week's fourth of nine in a race in which Beauparc beat Voice Of Reason |

Over two years since his only win; good AW run in July and fair effort when eighth of 28 at the Curragh latest; Colin Keane rides him for the first time since 2022; should not be ruled out. |

A close third in a Dundalk handicap last month showed he has some potential off this basement mark; not as effective but not beaten far at Gowran since; good draw and a top 5lb claimer on board. |

Listowel win came two years ago but best effort for some time when front-running close third at Dundalk earlier this month when 7lb out of handicap; has to be considered on turf return. |

Dual 1m course winner added her eighth rules win when bagging a 1m2f Navan handicap in April; recent handicap runs here at big prices leave a bit to be desired; cheekpieces. |

Sole success came on the beach at Laytown last September; lost way since but minor step in the right direction when beaten 6l in midfield at Leopardstown last time; has run well in claiming company before; could outrun odds for local yard. |

A 33-1 winner on good ground at Cork last summer; shaped nicely at Down Royal last month when staying on late (2m2f, good) and built on that when fourth of 13 at Downpatrick over the same trip four days later; this ground suits her and she's getting her act together. |

Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner. |
