8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Prolific winner at around this trip, latest in Gowran claimer nearly a year ago; 0-9 for current yard but Down Royal second to Faoladh puts him in the mix on ground he'll handle. |
12/1 |
|
8th 2 (6) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 0m 7f 35y |
10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground, including at Roscommon off 80; bounced back to form with encouraging third at same track last month before backing that up under positive ride at Down Royal 13 days ago when 1.5l second to Faoladh; definitely capable off this mark but soft ground a concern. |

10st 0lb |
Two wins last year on good ground for different trainers, including 7.5f Roscommon handicap off 80; now 10lb lower plus talented claimer takes off another 5lb; got his favoured ground when eyecatching third of 14 at Roscommon from tough draw 18 days ago; big chance. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |
9st 3lb |
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 |
10/1 |

5th 8 (7) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |
9st 9lb |
Locally trained; ran well over 7f at Down Royal on penultimate when a 1.75l fourth; midfield over an inadequate 6f at Fairyhouse last month; return to 1m a plus and last win came in a 1m Killarney claimer in 2024; fourth 6.10 here on Thursday. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 211y |

Four wins at up to 1m but 0-19 for this yard; good effort despite racing keenly when close fourth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good) on penultimate; dwelt over 6f at Fairyhouse on latest; worth a market check for local handler with Colin Keane booked. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 7lb |
Two-time AW winner is 0-13 on turf but has gone close in defeat; some of best efforts have come at Galway so likely to be heading to Ballybrit; however, not beaten far at Down Royal last time (7f, soft) and 1lb lower now so place shout, though could be drawn better. |

3rd 7 (14) |

Dual AW winner but 0-12 on turf; returned from over a year off at Leopardstown (7f, soft) when beaten 14l; that doesn't provide much encouragement. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Gained his second career win and second win at Gowran off 4lb lower on penultimate (1m, good); ran on well for fifth off revised mark in the Sovereign Path (7f, good) latest; down 1lb and the return to 1m is a plus; considered. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Both turf wins have come at Gowran, most recently last month over 1m off 80, having previously gone close here over same trip under regular rider; 4lb rise okay but draw is a negative and soft ground a concern. |
12/1 |

26th Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Most recent win came in this race last year from a 1lb higher mark (1m, good); has worn a hood on his last two starts, which has resulted in a pair of seconds at 7f/1m; chance returned to the scene of his win wearing the hood. |

8st 11lb |
Just one placed effort from eight starts last season; tailed off at the Curragh on his return and down the field at Roscommon two months ago; not a big price on the second occasion, so perhaps capable of better. |

Has won twice at 7f, on the sand at Laytown and on good to firm in a Gowran claimer but he has run okay on soft before; soundly beaten when last seen here in October (6f, sft-hvy); probably best watched. |

Two respectable Flat runs last month; 0-11 over hurdles; comes into the reckoning following an improved display that saw him finish fifth of 21 in a stronger race than this at Fairyhouse. |

Won off 6lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at the Curragh last March (1m, soft); no joy since and beaten around 9l in both starts at that venue this season; blinkers back on instead of cheekpieces; not discounted. |

9st 9lb |
Maiden winner on the AW and doubled her tally when making most over 7f at Gowran in June (7f, soft); essentially 4lb lower here with Rory Mulligan claiming 7lb and her Curragh run two months ago was too bad to be true. |
10/1 |

10th 4 (5) |
20th Jul 2025 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Front-running winner of an ordinary 7f Dundalk maiden last November; again tried to make all over 1m at Gowran on her seasonal/handicap debut, but was readily picked off by Pink Oxalis; faded tamely when a warm favourite at Roscommon; made amends with a front-running 7f win at Gowran five weeks ago; up 5lb, may remain competitive |

Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return. |
