30th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner who is 1-1 at this track, the win coming in 7f handicap (good) last month on his penultimate start; disappointing favourite off this mark at Musselburgh 18 days ago but a bounce back can't be ruled out. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 15y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Seems versatile ground-wise; first turf win when beating one in tremendous form (won again since) over 7f at Catterick latest but had been a shade unfortunate not to win over C&D in June, when just losing concentration at a fatal stage; back up 4lb but was close behind a well-treated one in this race last year off the same mark; solid chance. |

Beaten 16 times since a Dundalk maiden win in October 2024; series of good runs this summer, including tried in blinkers at Ayr last week, but he has work to do with Runninsonofagun on that evidence. |

Has shown definite ability in a quartet of maidens; tongue-tied for her handicap debut and the market may prove a good guide. |

Green under pressure but ran a big race in fourth in a decent Leopardstown maiden (7f, good) on debut; got tapped for toe at Fairyhouse and Limerick since and needs to improve. |

9st 8lb |
Back-to-back wins in C&D handicaps during August 2025; now 3lb lower than for the last of those and a slow start was no help back here last time, having previously hinted at a return to form at Naas; the return of a hood should be a good thing. |

9th 2 (8) |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |

Landed back-to-back handicaps over C&D last year, including this race; placed twice over 1m subsequently; below best on first two runs this year; step in right direction with staying-on sixth at Fairyhouse; big chance after fifth in Naas race won by Zheleznaya Dama. |

Remains a maiden after five starts but she has ability and ran well on her sole AW start when third here over a mile in July; her opening mark is fair and she should go well from an inside draw. |

25th Oct 2024 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Last of 10 on debut but has run with credit in two subsequent maidens and was unsuited by a slow tempo when sixth over C&D three weeks ago; widest draw isn't ideal but has place claims given that she's less exposed than most in here. |

Was 25-1 for her debut at Punchestown (7f, good to yielding) last year and she failed to beat a rival home; in good hands but returns from over a year off and can only be watched unless there is market support. |

Has finished in the first three in her last six races on turf; narrowly denied in a 7f claimer at this venue in May; backed that up with third placings in a maiden at Bellewstown and a handicap at Naas; thoroughly deserved her win in a 7f claimer here last month; has joined Ian Donoghue and can continue to pay her way. |

Half-sister to this year's Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring out of a half-sister to Shamardal; 18-1, nice debut when staying on into fourth over 1m here a fortnight ago; not much to find with third home Liltia but has 5l to make up on North Africa; longer trip promises to suit. |

Has backed up a maiden hurdle win at Tramore with two pleasing Flat runs; finished third of 18 over 1m4f at Cork, and second of 15 over 1m6f at Listowel, both races won by the same horse; can keep up the good work in his first handicap hurdle. |

Back to form in winning a Tramore maiden hurdle and backed that up with a 3l third of 18 over 1m4f at Cork; returning to further is probably a good move and claimer takes 7lb off his back this time. |
