17th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
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. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 13lb |
Sole win in 7f AW maiden at Dundalk as 3yo; slightly frustrating for this yard as he's been involved in some tight finishes for them, including in this race last year and when just behind Supreme Clarets at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in July, but fitting blinkers could help; solid chance, if so. |

Won a 7f Dundalk maiden on his second start but beaten 14 times since; went close at Musselburgh (7f, good) last month though and a subsequent lesser effort can be partially excused by him getting upset in the stalls. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of her nine runs on turf; narrowly denied in C&D claimer in May; beaten just 0.75l off 62 in a 7f Naas handicap latest; should be on the premises again. |

0-17 but has looked like her turn is near, placing the last four times over a range of trips from 5f to 1m; good 0.5l second to Gloriously Glam on last try over this trip in May, so shouldn't be far away back in a handicap. |

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. |

Fair sort on the Flat, winning 1m7f Leopardstown handicap last summer, albeit latest two efforts have been well below his best; 0-6 hurdling, narrowly beaten in C&D maiden at this meeting last year his best effort; chance if returning to that sort of form. |
