17th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 12lb |
C&D winner in 2023 three turf wins; light campaign this year but encouraging signs over C&D on latest when creditable fourth (1.5l off Star Harbour) in August; little bit to find with that rival, who has since gone close. |

15th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Won this in 2023 and scored on turf last year; has to improve on recent runs but is now 3lb lower than for that last score so has to be considered from a good draw. |

14th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Progressive last summer and again for this season's new yard, winning at Leopardstown and following up off 7lb higher over C&D in lady riders handicap; didn't run badly at Goodwood latest so not one to rule out. |
14/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 1m 1f 197y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Progressive last summer and again for this season's new yard when he won handicaps last month at Leopardstown (1m1f, soft) and the Curragh (1m2f Ladies Derby, good); tongue tied last three starts; needs the breaks from stall 1 but fine in big fields and another healthy step forward can't be ruled out. |

C&D winner; pulled out a career best to win at Leopardstown 16 days ago; lightly-raced for this yard but a 7lb rise may find him out back on quicker ground. |

Ended a long losing sequence with a 10.5f Cork win last month under this rider (good to yielding) off 5lb lower; didn't appear to appreciate drop to 7f back at Cork last time when staying on for seventh (short head behind Dark Viper); others more likely. |

Seven-time winner, last win at Dundalk in February 2024 off 3lb higher; some good efforts last year, including over this trip on the AW, and creditable run in the circumstances (slowly away) at the Curragh on latest under today's rider; one to consider. |

9st 9lb |
Has won five races up to 1m1f from 34 Flat starts; fine runs in defeat in premier handicaps at Leopardstown and Galway over the summer but was a bit below that level in the Cambridgeshire here last time; can be keen so needs to settle better. |
7/1 |

Two wins in April, one of them over C&D, the other a good display to beat the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee over 1m2f at the Curragh; solid fourth of 20 in a premier handicap at the same venue in May; had an excuse (struck into) for a below-par Down Royal run; one of three runners for the stable; strong overall credentials. |

Two wins in April, one of them over hurdles, the other a good display to beat the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee over 1m2f at the Curragh; solid fourth of 20 in a premier handicap at the same venue on latest; big weight here, but capable of holding her own. |

Now 11lb higher than for C&D win in March, an emphatic success gained at the main expense of the Irish Lincoln winner Ribee; has maintained progress with a wide-margin win in a handicap hurdle at Bellewstown; strong contender. |

AW winner in Britain (1m) and added Limerick claimer last summer for previous yard; 0-6 for current yard, slow to break and keen when last seen in November; down to a nice mark but record fresh isn't great. |

11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |

Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed. |

Dual-purpose type; had been a runner-up in two previous visits to this venue before going one better over C&D five days ago with a ready 3l success; that win came on the back of a Cork novice hurdle victory last month; shoulders a 7lb penalty now but could have more to offer. |

9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted. |

Two-time Flat winner; out of form in that sphere the last twice and held by Arctic Flame on the form of her 22l sixth on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in May; others appeal more. |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Low-key effort behind a few of these at Leopardstown earlier this month but return to quicker ground may help and she's back on her last winning mark (also went close off 77 in Clonmel handicap in September); Neve Bennett who claims 7lb has ridden her fair share of winners; could go well. |

AW winner yet to score on turf but has gone close on multiple occasions; carried head high when beaten 1.75l by Hurricane Helen latest on stable debut at Navan (1m2f, good) after 171 days off; up 4lb for that but should strip fitter and could turn that form around with cheekpieces applied; claims. |

Largely consistent veteran whose seven wins range in trips from 7f to 1m4f, most recently at lower limit at the Curragh last autumn; recent Leopardstown fourth (Green Kite second) was a seasonal-best but this ground possibly on the quick side. |

Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); has come up short off revised mark since but has C&D form figures of 124 and the win came off 6lb higher than he is here; could go well. |
