13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 95y |
9st 5lb |
79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it. |
9/2 |

4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft. |
15/2 |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 8lb |
Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort. |

Not the most consistent but landed a second win of the season at the Galway Festival (7f, yielding); 3lb rise for that not excessive but he's never raced over a trip this short; others make more appeal. |

AW winner over 10.5f in March and her higher-grade third at Naas was a good effort; 1m4f has seemed a bridge too far, though, and long way behind Masego over that trip at Bellewstown; excuse for latest run (1m2f) at Navan. |

9st 4lb |
Won at Newbury (1m, good) in May on third start for this yard and followed up when unpenalised at Yarmouth (1m, good) five days later; runner-up off this 6lb higher mark at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) last time, when outstayed, and he could play a leading role back down to 1m. |

Ex-Irish gelding who has only had four runs for Ian Williams and won the last two, 1m handicaps on good ground at Newbury and Yarmouth; had no penalty last time and now 6lb higher, but he's on a roll; has won on soft. |

4th 4 (5) |
9th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 4f 132y |
9st 0lb |
Encouraging second at Navan (1m6f, yielding) in August and may have found 1m2f against him when a beaten favourite at the Curragh 11 days ago; potential pace angle here and return to further should help; each-way claims. |
7/2 |

Two of his three wins have come here (9.5f/7f), the latest in March; ran with credit when fourth of ten at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last time and he makes the shortlist. |
10/1 |
|
4th 4 (8) |
13th Jul 2026 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Turf and dual Tapeta winner who justified favouritism with a narrow success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form but he flopped at Bath (1m, firm) last time and needs to bounce back after that heavy defeat. |
12/1 |
|
4th 2 (4) |
26th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Course winner (1m2f, good to soft) last September and he has made good progress since, adding two AW successes (9.4f/7f) to his tally; close third over C&D last month (good ground) but not in the same form at Kempton three weeks ago; can't ignore if as effective on today's faster ground. |

3rd 1 (10) |
18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 1lb |
Was hit hard by the handicapper for easily winning a restricted 9.5f maiden at Gowran on heavy in September; good run when fourth over 1m2f at Leopardstown last month and seemed to stay well enough when third over 1m5f at Ballinrobe, getting going a bit late; longer straight here will suit and any rain a plus. |

3rd 2 (1) |
8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 1lb |
Rounded off last term with emphatic win in 9.5f Gowran maiden (heavy), pick of three handicap efforts this term when good fourth at Leopardstown (1m2f), tame enough finishing effort at Cork latest; doesn't appear an obvious candidate for this longer trip. |

Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |

Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |

A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her. |

Hit the frame at this track in March over 1m; poor in three starts since then including when 12l behind at Leopardstown (1m); and 38l behind when trying hurdles for the first time earlier this month; dropped 3lb since last Flat run and cheekpieces now go on. |
