Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

Regressive, ex-Irish hurdler who's struggled in four runs for her new yard, who also saddle Laravie; will do very well to get involved. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Has been in the form of her career this season, winning handicap hurdles at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan before finishing a close third at Galway; now rated 129 in that sphere so has to be respected on Flat debut over a trip that will suit. |

Has been in the form of her life at present, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe (2m) and Kilbeggan (2m4f); got a 10lb rise for that and back down in trip but still has to be on the shortlist. |

Mostly reliable in the first half of last season; enjoyed a fine spell during which she notched two wins and two seconds; bolted up at Ballinrobe in May on her second start after a break; appears fortunate to have got away with a 6lb rise; strong chance with Harry Cobden booked. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again. |

Pick of form when runner-up in 2m Punchestown handicap in May (good-to-yielding), two recent Kilbeggan runs not without merit; one to consider. |

Attracted support at Down Royal in early May, let down by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown nine days later; failed to build on that at this venue next time, this longer trip may suit him better. |

Standout run in 12 efforts came over 2m1f at Wexford last year when 3.75l second off 6lb higher; never a factor on return 38 days ago and needs to prove he stays this distance. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |

Sole hurdles win came in 2m5f Wexford handicap last summer, pick of six attempts chasing when second in 3m Downpatrick handicap in May (good); tame Wexford effort early this month but has to be respected on overall profile (cheekpieces worn recently now ditched). |

Won 2m7f Clonmel handicap last October off a lowly 73; poor on return at Cork but won again back at Clonmel in June, left in the lead by a faller two out; coped admirably with a 7lb rise when scoring at Cork and ran creditably off this mark when fifth in a competitive Galway festival handicap. |

Progressive mare has won three of last four completed outings, including last two in 2m6f handicaps at Clonmel and when defying 7lb rise at Limerick last month in ready fashion to win going away; up a further 9lb so more needed but quite possible. |

10st 9lb |
Consistent and holding form well enough in handicaps; beaten around 6l off this mark the last twice, at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); step back up to this trip should suit; in the mix again. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
