Improved effort on latest at Naas (1m3f, good) on second start back from long layoff; prominent racer has slipped to a dangerous mark, drops in grade and this shorter trip is fine; should go well. |

Is on a dangerous mark and it wasn't a bad effort on return from 419 days off at Bellewstown last month; should strip fitter now and has won twice at just short of this trip at Dundalk; not discounted. |

9st 11lb |
Three wins here over 7f/1m and plenty of placed form over 10.5f; with the blinkers refitted, had three of these behind when beaten just half a length here a week ago, coming home well from off the pace; good chance. |

18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Three wins here over 7f/1m, but most recent placed form has been over 10.5f around here and this trip is sharp enough for him nowadays. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Three wins here over 7f-1m but does stay this far and has multiple placed efforts over C&D; on a dangerous mark and a recent spin over hurdles at Wexford will have blown away any cobwebs; chance with rider taking off handy 7lb. |

9st 6lb |
Overcame a troubled passage when getting up late to win a 1m2f classified at Lingfield on second start for this yard but he just couldn't pick up over the shorter trip at Wolverhampton (about 1m) next time; unraced here but acts on Tapeta and remains of interest with more suitable test. |

Built upon encouraging stable debut (over C&D) when winning 1m2f Lingfield classified in refitted cheekpieces on Monday, opening his account at the 18th attempt; has 5lb penalty on this handicap return but still needs to be taken very seriously in current mood. |

Placed at Dundalk on her penultimate start; now back on the mark off which she won over 1m4f at Roscommon in May; has won over this trip but probably more effective over further these days. |

Maiden winner here last year for John McConnell; three runs for her current trainer in handicaps over 1m and over this trip and not badly treated; drawn wide but should go well. |

First reserve; multiple C&D winner bounced back to form when a 2.25l fourth here on latest; that came off a mark of 40 though and he's up against it at these weights. |

Four of five wins have come at Dundalk, the last three at 10.5f; has beaten just one rival home in last three starts, so leap of faith required to fancy him here. |

4-24 on AW including three wins over C&D; is 4lb lower than when scoring here in September but his form in 2026 has been underwhelming so needs to get back on track. |
