3rd Oct 2026 Good 0m 7f 219y Class 2 |

All three wins have come over 7f, including at Thirsk in September, but he has form over this C&D too, including when third behind runaway winner Welbury in August; enters calculations. |

11st 13lb |
Record is 3-24; incurs 6lb penalty but is effectively striking while the iron's hot, having rallied to justify favouritism in Thirsk handicap (7f, good to soft) last Saturday; has form over 1m; enters calculations. |

Now 8lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) last November; he has shown enough this year to think he retains a good portion of his ability; should go well. |

6f maiden winner in Ireland as a 2yo and two wins in Italy last year, including a 1m Listed race (good); disappointing at San Siro in June when last seen and the market may be the best guide on his stable debut; cheekpieces (last worn in 2024) are back on. |

Overcame trouble in running to win a 6f maiden here in September after being gelded; waiting tactics probably overdone in the C&D nursery won by Nyman since; should turn the tables here on 16lb better terms and looks the one to beat. |

2nd Oct 2026 Standard 0m 6f 20y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo; well handicapped on his two wins last spring but he's 0-11 for current yard and was a well-held third of five at Lingfield (5f, AW) last time; visor is now added and he needs to find more back up in trip. |

Ex-Irish; 0-10 for current stable but drops in grade off an attractive mark and gives the impression the return to 5f is worth exploring; this may be the time to catch him. |

Won under a 10lb claimer at the Curragh (7f, good) in August; didn't seem to handle the drop back to 6f when fifth at Fairyhouse last month; should handle the Polytrack but tough task at the weights. |

Promise in all three maidens and off the mark at the second attempt in handicaps under this 10lb claimer at the Curragh (7f, good); up 7lb for that but should continue to be competitive off his revised rating; obvious chance if handling this drop back in trip. |

Encouraging fourth in a Leopardstown maiden on debut; possibly didn't handle very testing ground at Galway on next outing; slowly away when never involved at Naas last month; half-brother and dam were both AW winners; could improve on the Polytrack on handicap debut. |

Closely matched with some of today's rivals on recent efforts, and ran his usual honest race when third of 17 last week at Naas (2m); that trip appeared to stretch him, and before then over 1m4f he was a closing third behind Handani; Reese Holohan rides again. |

In new blinkers when staying on best at Galway (1m4f, yielding) and stamina appeared stretched by 1m6f when swamped late on at Killarney; tactically versatile and Reese Holohan's claim is well worth having. |

Maiden winner on the Flat last year (good) coped well with testing conditions on seasonal return when second at Naas but form petered off afterwards; back from a break however in good form to score on hurdles debut for new yard in Cork maiden last month on good ground, travelling well to win with a fair bit to spare (second beaten favourite since); should go well. |
