Five-time winner for Johnny Murtagh and clearly not the horse he once was, but showed that he is potentially at a winning level when a close third in a 1m handicap at Cork two weeks ago; this might be his trip now and he is certainly respected. |

Five wins for Johnny Murtagh; went close for this yard at the Curragh in April (7f, soft); below best in four starts since then; has tumbled in the ratings but will make limited appeal until showing signs of a revival. |

9st 8lb |
Last turf win came at Naas nearly two years ago (off 63); standout run this term when C&D third (neck off second-placed Jasmine Affanalis) in May, most recently didn't seem to get home at Bellewstown; Colin Keane booking takes the eye. |

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

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 (7f, good); signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel next time; failed to see out 1m1f on soft at Leopardstown on latest but definite player at his best. |

8st 7lb |
Most consistent sprinter, scoring over C&D earlier in season and battled on well to land Rockingham Handicap (5f) in June; subsequently third of 20 to Sondad in Scurry over further and good third to Bear On The Run over C&D latest; model of consistency but could be vulnerable off likely strong pace and 4lb out of handicap. |
16/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Succession of good runs over various sprint trips here this year; won the Rockingham in June and good second over that 5f distance last time; previously, had four of these behind when third in the Scurry over an extended 6f, which was a bit too far. |
11/2 |

2nd 10 (10) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |

Has been in the form of his life this season; won over 6f here on seasonal return and bagged another victory in a C&D premier handicap in June despite being 3lb out of the weights; didn't quite see out the 6.5f trip of the Scurry handicap here last month, but it was still a blinding run to finish third; went too quick at Cork last time; definite chance. |

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

Ex-Irish 4yo who bettered low-key stable debut when respectable third of seven behind well-handicapped winner at Ffos Las (7.3f, good; refitted cheekpieces) last month; needs more again today but will be fine over 1m. |

Juvenile winner for Jim Bolger (Cork, 5f maiden, heavy); disappointing since joining this trainer (0-6), falling 20lb in the weights; slowly away and never involved at Thirsk (6f, good; 40-1) latest; hard to recommend now returning to 7f. |

Thrown in on his form for Jim Bolger but he has finished down the field in four runs for new connections, weakening over 7f and 6f; the return of a tongue tie may help, as will the drop into a Class 6, so not discounted back at 5f for the owners who took this race 12 months ago. |
