11-wins include five here, including in March claimer; most recent run at the Curragh in August was a solid one and has to be respected given his record here. |

9st 10lb |
11-wins winner, 6-38 on turf; winner of four of his seven 2025 starts, best on AW, though won at Cork on penultimate start; 0-15 record at this venue is a possible negative, placed four times. |

An 11-time winner, 6-37 on turf, including three over C&D; winning favourite in a six-runner contest last month, supplementing three Dundalk wins gained in the opening months of the year; 5lb higher than last time, but still 5lb below AW mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
9st 7lb |
Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

5th 8 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |
9st 7lb |
A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 9 (7) |
4th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

11st 12lb |
9yo who has had a lot of racing and steered clear of fences since finishing fourth of seven at Clonmel two years ago; however, was running well before finishing second in a claiming hurdle last time and he's now with John McConnell. |

14th Apr 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
10st 10lb |
Second runner for yard; dual-purpose; 3-26 over hurdles and rated 98; in good form on the AW in recent weeks and ran well on his only previous visit to this track; goes on any ground, notable jockey booking and not without a chance. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |
7/1 |

6th 2 (2) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |
9/2 |

4th 4 (1) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 5 |
9st 5lb |
Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 6lb |
Decent operator at a level on turf and AW, his most recent win coming in a 1m2f Dundalk handicap in January last year; not seen since third in a Tipperary handicap 14 months ago; market may prove the best guide. |

Four Flat wins divided between turf and the AW; couldn't get going in time when a beaten favourite in latest AW claimer over 7f and returning to further should help; considered. |
