3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
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. |

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 |
Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

Won his third race when taking a Killarney handicap over 1m last July off this mark; some solid runs since, including when third of 13 at Gowran last week (1m2f, soft); inside draw and good amateur aboard. |

9st 4lb |
Six-time course winner, most effective at this trip; generally below his best since winning here last September; mild encouragement from his most recent run, but needs to reverse form with Comfort Line, Kitty Bear and Punk Poet; dropping in the ratings, now 9lb below last winning mark. |

11st 12lb |
Dual 1m AW winner for former yard and went close on yard debut at Dundalk in November; modest form in five attempts hurdling, most recently when beaten 47l in a 2m2f conditions hurdle here three weeks ago; tough task giving weight to all. |

9st 7lb |
Two-time 1m AW winner for former yard; went close on debut for this stable on last Flat start at Dundalk (10.5f); no impact over hurdles last thrice and 0-7 record on turf on the Flat doesn't inspire confidence; drawn wide. |

25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 110y |
9st 5lb |
1-43 on turf; struggled on the AW last winter; made an okay return to turf at Roscommon when fifth (7.5f, good) but was very poor next time over 1m here; bounced back with a good sixth at Leopardstown next time (1m1f, good); another poor run at Naas three days ago; hard to trust. |

A winner of seven races on AW and three on turf; last turf success was in 2022, but this season's overall form provided a fair amount of encouragement; a three-time runner-up at this venue, including in June; had plenty of horses behind him at Leopardstown ten days ago. |

Sole win from 25 starts came at Navan in a maiden claimer in 2023 over 1m; highly tried at this venue earlier this year with her best effort being a 1.75l third over 1m4f; poor in five runs at this track following that and tailed off when attempting hurdles for the first time at Cartmel last time; tongue-tie now added to hood. |
