22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
On long losing run but did shape well over extended 6f here (yielding) in June off 1lb lower; needs to bounce back from a moderate run over 7f at Naas last time. |

1-31 but has finished second seven times, including over 6f at the Curragh in June in 20-runner handicap; didn't feature from wide draw at Leopardstown, but back on track when beaten 3l into fifth at Navan last time; shouldn't rule out back up in trip. |

20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y Class 4 |
9st 10lb |
Five wins this year, three of them over C&D; took her form to a new level when winning at Hamilton 19 days ago but a 6lb rise and stronger opposition could find her out today. |
5/1 |

1st 5 (4) |
1st Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Made it 3-10 on the AW when successful at Newcastle last month; up 5lb and 1-13 on turf, but a stiff 5f seems to suit her well; looks the pick of the stable's trio. |

Beaten off 59 in handicaps on last three starts but did win her last start in claiming company at Fairyhouse in May (6f, good); this is a better race and a bit to find on the figures. |

6th 4 (11) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

C&D winner in 2023 won for the second time in a 6f Fairyhouse claimer in May; raised 19lb for that win but has been solid in defeat since including over C&D; got no run at Fairyhouse last time; a player. |
8/1 |

8th 11 (5) |
1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y |

Bridged a gap of almost three years between wins when landing a C&D claimer (good) in May; did well to take a 2l third of eight at Down Royal (5f, soft) last time after being raised 19lb for her claimer win; in great form and she has a chance if it continues. |

On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |
