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. |

Losing run goes back more than two years; unproven at this distance and failed to beat a rival over 1m at Bellewstotwn earlier this month. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 195y |
8st 12lb |
Winless since rattling off a treble in 2023; however, her two recent runs over 1m suggest she is close to striking again, with a close second at Leopardstown and 1.5l sixth at Galway last time; probably doesn't want it too soft; new headgear on. |

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. |

Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

3rd 1 (1) |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo; found one too good when favourite for last month's stable debut here (7f) but was evidently suited by combination of drop back to 6f and refitted blinkers when scoring at Windsor (also good to firm) 17 days ago; 4lb higher now but capable 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh is booked; can cope if the ground softens; good chance. |
5/2 |

13th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 12y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ran three times as a 2yo for Karl Burke before moving to Ireland, where he won a handicap at Dundalk (7f, AW) in March; joined this yard for 6,000gns and finished second at Yarmouth last month (6-5f; 7f); this is a belated first go at 6f but he has shown early speed. |

Ran three times as a 2yo for Karl Burke before moving to Ireland, where he won a handicap at Dundalk (7f, AW) in March; makes his debut for last year's winning stable having changed hands for 6,000gns this month; market useful. |

Roscommon winner on soft a year ago off 59; hasn't won since although C&D fourth (Roderick second) in June was a good effort, coming from well back from a wide draw; ground to suit, should go well. |
7/1 |
|
4th 2 (17) |
12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Three-time turf winner who made a positive return to turf at Bellwstown (1m, soft) in April before finishing ninth at Limerick on yielding; bolted up on soft at Roscommon off 1lb lower last year so can be in the mix if rain comes. |

25th Aug 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Runner-up five times over C&D without winning; mostly out of form this year but down to a career low mark and perfectly possible that he could be revitalised here. |

8th 8 (3) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Is 15lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer and took a step in the right direction when beaten 3.5l over C&D on latest; eased 3lb for that run and well-drawn here; could go well at a price. |

Consistent on the AW over the winter, landing handicap over 10.5f; returned to turf after summer break with two solid runs last month, hanging right and not clear run when third at Gowran (9.5f) and only faded late when 3l fifth of 17 over 1m at Cork; Colin Keane takes over from 5lb claimer here. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Consistent on the AW over the winter and spring, landing handicap over 10.5f in January; whether he's as effective on turf is questionable given he hasn't troubled the judge in eight starts on it; beaten 3l when third of 16 over 9.5f at Gowran on Wednesday. |

AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard; second at Limerick in June (1m, yielding) but her run over C&D two days later probably came too soon; another promising effort at Killarney last time when defeated by a head (1m, good); wears a first-time visor; chance. |

Winner on AW in January; unlucky not to finish closer when sixth at Gowran, short of room when travelling well; backed that up with a promising second at Limerick; failed to make his presence felt when a well-supported favourite at Gowran two days later; the race may have come too soon. |

Promising debut before some lesser efforts but took a step forward when beaten half a length in a Cork handicap last month on yard debut; wasn't as good in 5f Curragh handicap 13 days ago and will need a career best back in maiden company. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |

14th Aug 2025 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Promise on sole 2yo start but three runs this term have been poor, too keen and didn't get home over 1m on latest in hood/tongue-tie combination (now left off); changed yards since and improvement possible now dropped to minimum trip for first time although mark may still be on the high side. |
