9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 157y |

Has shown promise in two starts since returning from a break; has an edge over Avandra on Wexford running, but that rival showed improved form when second at Tramore recently. |

Maiden under both codes, whose best recent effort came last month over C&D when staying on fourth (over 3l off runner-up Let It Settle); 2lb better off with that rival so considered. |
15/2 |

4th 19 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
10st 9lb |
Ran okay in a low-grade 1m5f handicap a month ago (blinkers returned) and there has been the odd bit of promise in handicap hurdles; 0-16 under both codes, but no forlorn hope here. |

Dual-purpose maiden yet to trouble the judge in either code; soundly beaten on last two Flat starts and over hurdles on latest; drops in grade and blinkers return, but hard to fancy. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 9lb |
Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; needs to prove as effective on the Flat but didn't run badly in 1m3f maiden in April on ground softer than ideal; could be on a decent mark. |
10/1 |
|
1st 4 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Has hit top form recently; followed up an easy win in a weak Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) with success in a Sligo novice contest (2m2f, good); his rating of 120 over hurdles is the best on offer here but he must transfer it to fences on this chasing bow. |
7/2 |

Flat maiden easily got off the mark over hurdles (15th attempt) in a weak Downpatrick maiden over this trip last month (good), having gone close on several occasions in stronger company; major player. |

Nice pedigree and shrewd owners; first time to be a single-figure price when second to subsequent winner at Clonmel where he was staying on over 2m3f; probably wants to go this way, so given a pass for Killarney sixth. |
11/2 |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Maiden was beaten 5l by today's rival Global Skies at Clonmel last time, his best handicap run; raised 2lb for that and, if he has progressed since, can run respectably again. |

2nd 14 |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |
10/1 |
|
6th 11 (4) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |
11/4 |

2nd 14 (15) |
7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed. |

Dual-purpose Flat winner; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 120; promise in first two chase attempts, earning a rating of 117; beaten 17l into second of 12 behind talented Supersundae here (22.5f, gd-yld) in April; 9l fourth of 10 at Killarney (2m5f, gd-yld) 22 days ago; leading claims. |

French AW winner; fell on debut at Punchestown; non-runner twice on account of good ground since her 13l Cork third in July; ran okay on soft in France so the forecast rain looks a plus for her; chance in a race that lacks depth. |

The pick of her form is a fourth in a Gowran handicap from a 13lb higher mark in June last year; her runs since then have been poor and she was last seen finishing a 32l ninth of 11 at Clonmel in May; cheeckpieces go on but they need to spark huge improvement. |
