20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Two wins over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien; also won a Flat maiden over 1m4f at Tramore last summer; probably needed the run at Killarney in July on stable debut, likely to be sharper now. |

Two wins over hurdles for Joseph O'Brien and her sole Flat win was in a Tramore maiden over 1m4f last summer; first run since October having changed stables; market will guide but likely to come on for this. |

Dual 2m hurdles winner was a disappointing favourite on chase debut at Wexford in July after not jumping fluently when last seen; last win in this sphere came in a good ground Thurles handicap last December off 114; returned from a break with a win on the Flat in early July; chance. |

Some decent form on turf but has proved a different proposition on this surface with two C&D handicap wins last month; up a total of 15lb but that might not be enough to prevent a hat-trick. |

First reserve; multiple C&D winner bounced back to form when a 2.25l fourth here on latest; that came off a mark of 40 though and he's up against it at these weights. |

Four of five wins have come at Dundalk, the last three at 10.5f; has beaten just one rival home in last three starts, so leap of faith required to fancy him here. |

1m4f AW winner is 0-15 on turf; beaten a head over 1m6f here last October on soft off 2lb lower; 1m was inadequate on seasonal return at Gowran; should come on plenty for that and not discounted back up in trip. |

Sole victory from 21 starts came in a 1m4f handicap Dundalk in December 2024; slipped up at Dundalk on her final 2025 start after an excellent second in a 23-runner handicap at Navan; however, that was 1m6f, and this trip may prove inadequate. |

Won a division of this race in 2024 off 5lb higher; is 10lb lower than when last winning at Bellewstown (1m, good) in April of last year; slow starts have proved costly recently, could go close if gets away on level terms. |
