12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
9st 11lb |
Useful form in 2024, featuring a Ballinrobe win; placed at the same venue during a light 2025 campaign; needs to step up considerably on what he has shown in two 2026 starts. |

Quite lightly raced since winning this race off 68 two years ago; encouraging effort after more than nine months off in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore two weeks ago; foolish to discount. |

No wins since debut in 2023 but was running well in defeat on AW through the winter; looks up against it on these terms though. |

0-6 on the Flat in 2024 for Johnny Murtagh but ran well in defeat a couple of times; off since pulling up at Cork in August 2024 and can only be watched on hurdles and stable debut. |

Twice beaten favourite in the Spring and after short break ran well in handicaps last month, at Dundalk and when staying-on second over 9.5f at Ballinrobe on soft; back in trip here with cheekpieces added to usual tongue tie. |

27th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Completed a hat-trick in 0-50 classified events in January including two wins here (7f/1m); has found life tougher in handicaps since then, though, and may need a return to the basement level. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Nailed a rapid AW classified hat-trick in January for Ian Williams but her subsequent form in handicaps for that yard and this doesn't compare; maybe her return to this sphere will help but she needs to get back on track. |
10/1 |

29th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 6 |

Legs two and three of her January hat-trick for Ian Williams came here (7f/1m); went off the boil for him and hard to fancy on what she's done in three starts for this yard. |

Third in a maiden on debut this year but hasn't really progressed; below form the last twice and has to rebound; handles soft. |

9st 11lb |
Low-mileage filly who responded well to the visor at Killarney last time so surprising to see the refitting of blinkers, in which she was beaten further the time before; still one of the more interesting runners. |

9st 9lb |
Holding his form generally well since an early-season win at Cork, apart from a below-par run at Ballinrobe last month; back to form with a solid effort in finishing fourth of 17 at Galway only eight days later. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
9st 11lb |
Four-time winner; scored on seasonal return at Cork off 8lb lower; chased home Bay Of Dreams off 2lb lower at Bellewstown on penultimate; never landed a blow behind Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe on latest; visor replaces cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

9th 2 (13) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 13lb |
Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

On a long losing run but has run well from the front the last twice, most notably at Naas last time in a race he set up for closers; could be dangerous if allowed dictate but stall 16 is problematic. |

3rd 18 (14) |

16th Aug 2024 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Below best since winning here last summer (7f, good) until much more encouraging third at Limerick in June (not clear run); tame enough in the finish at Roscommon since so bit to find now. |
