14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Beat Red Letter over 1m at Navan in June and followed up with a Group 3 win over an extended 1m2f at Naas; failed to uphold form with Red Letter over 1m1f here last time, and that rival may have her measure again. |

3rd 3 (7) |
30th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Experienced 3yo who has taken well to gradual step up in trip this year, winning last two starts in June, in 1m Navan Listed (beating Red Letter and recent Listed winner Thalara) and saw out extended 1m2f at Naas well when making all; slight ease in the ground fine, won't want too much rain though; has to concede 3lb to Red Letter. |

25th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 2f 84y |
9st 2lb |
Experienced 3yo who finished just a neck behind Coronation Stakes winner Cercene when third in the Athasi Stakes last month (1m, good); a number of placed efforts at Group level; dropped in class and stayed on to win a Navan Listed contest last time; step up in trip here looks positive. |

9st 8lb |
Two wins last year included Group 3 here over 1m1f; pick of this year's four runs when third in Group 1 Pretty Polly over C&D, most recent Group 1 Deauville effort a long way below her best; tongue-tie now tried and back in grade with definite claims. |

9st 7lb |
Ran well in defeat three times in Listed company in 2025 before bagging a win at that level, the Ruby Stakes at Killarney (1m); was poor in testing ground behind Faiyum when last seen; has to be at her best on return to get involved. |
16/1 |

Second runner for yard; won a C&D maiden in 2024; gained a deserved Listed success at Killarney over 1m last time after some solid runs in defeat at that level; has run well over C&D but the forecast testing ground is a concern. |

9st 5lb |
Three-time winner at this venue in handicaps at 7f-1m on good and soft ground; saw out 1m2f well when a 1.5l second over C&D in the Northfields premier handicap last season; just missed black type when fourth in a Listed at Navan (1m, good) on penultimate; rated 94 so unlikely winner but could challenge for a place. |

29th Jun 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Last year's winner off 76; Good runs here include second in a premier handicap last September (1m2f, good); easily won from a 5lb lower mark here in March (1m, soft); outran odds of 66-1 in a Navan Listed event when 3.25l fourth of 12 last time; likeable sort. |

Fourth in the Lincoln on return; produced career-best when easily winning Curragh handicap (1m, soft) next time off 90; made little impression in two handicap starts since, although had a troubled passage on latest; tall order in this company. |

9st 7lb |
Given a fine ride in front when a 33-1 Listed winner at Naas (7f, good) in May; hasn't run to same level in three starts since, not discredited in Group 3 at Cork but folded quite tamely under similar tactics in Group 3 at Doncaster on latest; needs to be at her best to play a major role. |

Given a fine ride in front when a 33-1 Listed winner at Naas (7f, good) in May; ran pretty well when fourth in Group 3 at Cork (7f, yielding) a fortnight ago but others have more compelling credentials. |
25/1 |

One of two for yard; shock winner of a 7f Listed race at Naas (good) on penultimate but finished last of seven upped to Group 3 company at Leopardstown on latest in June (7f, soft); freshened up since, rain not a worry and not dismissed. |

Highly-tried filly with just a Killarney maiden win to her name but only denied by narrowest margin in Group 3 Fairy Bridge Stakes at Tipperary in August (yielding) and wasn't disgraced when under 5l off winner in Group 1 Matron Stakes over C&D last month; place claims. |

Seventh of 13 behind Fallen Angel in last year's Irish 1,000 Guineas; back from long absence to win 1m Killarney maiden in May; ran her best race of the season when a short head second in a Group 3 event over a little shorter than this at Tipperary 13 days ago. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-11 this term for current yard but some solid efforts including latest when strong-finishing third in Naas fillies Listed a week ago over this trip (yielding); this looks a better race so more required. |

Twice a winner in France (one on soft) at 1m2f and extended 1m3f; 0-10 this term for current yard, appearing a bit one-paced back at today's trip last two times on heavy; looks to have a bit to find. |

One of three for yard; rated 94 and shaped nicely when a 3.25l third of 9 in a listed race at Killarney (1m, good) last month; won on soft ground in France and is preferred by McMonagle so has to be considered for yard that won this in 2021 and 2022. |

Her five wins include a Group 3 at Tipperary over 7.5f last year; good early-season form when second in Group 3 here on testing ground but form over the summer well below her best; bit to prove now, but not one to rule out with ground to suit. |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |

One of four for yard; two wins last year included this race, which was run at Tipperary; went close in a Listed heat at the Curragh (1m, sft-hvy) in April but has beat just one rival home on her last two starts, most recently in a Listed over C&D on good; forecast rain a plus and no surprise were she to bounce back. |
