10st 0lb |
Hat-trick of C&D wins the winter before last, cuminating in a victory off 84 in February of last year; mark has declined steadily since, but some creditable turf runs this summer make him of interest on first run in this grade on Polytrack. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause. |
12/1 |

11th 19 (17) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 60y |
8st 7lb |
Has a poor strike rate (2-26); however, worth recalling that she finished second (behind Pink Oxalis) when a 40-1 chance in this race 12 months ago; fair form this season; yard emerging from a quiet spell; lively outsider potentially. |

9st 8lb |
Consistent on turf from 6f to 1m this year; clung on by a head to land fifth win at Gowran Park (7f, good) nine days ago when well placed; should be in the mix off 5lb higher. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Four-time winner but last win came in a claimer in 2024; some satisfactory efforts this season and the best of them came last time at Leopardstown (7f, good) when taking the runner-up spot; in the mix. |

Last win came in a 1m Killarney claimer in 2024; fifth in a claimer last time at Bellewstown, only 24 hours after finishing fourth in a handicap at the same venue; overall handicap form has been satisfactory; needs to raise his game |

10st 0lb |
Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |
18/1 |

9st 7lb |
Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

9st 10lb |
Busy as ever this year, winning over 1m here and at the Curragh (beat Avec Grand Plaisir); a bit below par at Fairyhouse last time; not tried very often over this trip but does stay; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner approaching the veteran stage; has kept his form very well this year, gaining a deserved win at the Curragh and running well twice since; goes well for this claimer and every chance that he will be on the premises once more. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

Has held his form well in recent months; two wins in 2026 have brought his career tally to 11; backed up a narrow Curragh success (Sherekiya, third) with another solid display in taking third at Navan 13 days ago; has won and twice finished second for 10lb claimer Cillian Rowan. |

Four wins on the Flat (three on AW); needs to step up on recent handicap hurdle efforts at Kilbeggan and Downpatrick; a remote fourth on the latter occasion. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Decent Flat performer (four wins) who landed Tramore maiden hurdle last year; ran okay on handicap bow in big-field novice contest at Fairyhouse in April; looked in need of the run after a break on stable debut a fortnight ago; eased in grade. |
