10st 0lb |
Won twice at Leopardstown track last year over 1m4f/1m5f; has confirmed a liking for that venue this season; third to today's rival Cooley's Mist in a 1m5f event the middle of the month, as a prelude to last week's winning effort over 1m7f; up 5lb, can remain competitive. |

Won twice at this track last year over 1m4f/1m5f; the best of three runs this term came back here last time over the longer trip; steps up in trip today and a big player if staying; raised 1lb. |

Placed at two before missing 3yo season; two wins here last year, including corresponding contest (Ob La Di well-held fourth); not seen after that until fair comeback over 1m2f here in May, and 2m1f may have stretched her at Limerick; only 4lb higher than last year; likes it good, but scratched because of quick ground last time. |

Poor in two Flat runs on return from a break but bounced back with a maiden hurdle win at Tramore on latest; that will have boosted confidence but this trip may be on the sharp side back on the level. |

Fair sort on the Flat, winning 1m7f Leopardstown handicap last summer, albeit latest two efforts have been well below his best; 0-6 hurdling, narrowly beaten in C&D maiden at this meeting last year his best effort; chance if returning to that sort of form. |

Won over just shy of this trip at Leopardstown last summer off 69; mainly campaigned over hurdles since; Killarney comeback run was over an inadequate trip so more expected here although cruel draw. |

On yard debut took a 1m2f Naas handicap under today's rider in June and ended a poor run of form with unlucky nose defeat by Longseoir over C&D last month, not clear run and allowing winner first run before running on really strongly at the finish; good chance of overturning that form give a clearer run if handling conditions. |

Last win came over C&D just over a year ago off 4lb lower; starting to come into form now, solid fifth at the Curragh in June (1m2f, gd-fm) and then beaten just 0.75l at Leopardstown (1m5f, good) last time; this shorter trip fine and she's a contender. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Both wins in August, so coming into her time of year; money for her when fourth over 1m2f here in May, and stayed on from rear when fifth in the Ladies Derby over 1m2f at the Curragh, a race won by well-backed stablemate; that run might have sweetened her up and she can reverse placings with third-placed Cooley's Mist; hampered when fourth to Tatum in last year's renewal; has won over 1m4f. |

Won over an extended 1m2f at Naas last August on good ground; not suited by heavy ground on her final two starts; in rear on soft on return; much better when fourth at Leopardstown but poor again at Gowran; stablemate Fixation appeals more. |

Three wins at 1m2f-1m3f in Germany but bar a Dundalk third last November, hasn't really threatened for this yard; off since December and returns with stable in decent fettle, so market check advised. |

Just 1m4f AW maiden win to his name but arrives on the back of two fine runs on turf, had the run of the race when pipped over 1m6f at Fairyhouse (rated race) and again made plenty of use of when third in 1m3f Naas handicap early this month; definite claims back up in trip. |

Three-time turf winner but hasn't got her head in front since scoring off 12lb higher at Ballinrobe (1m5f, soft) in July 2024; three runs this term poor but acts on good ground and was second in this last season off 12lb higher; could revive. |

3-27 on turf on the Flat; last win came over C&D (soft) in July 2024 off 11lb higher; hasn't really shaped like a winner in waiting in two runs this season; her last run at Roscommon wasn't too bad but more needed to get her head back in front and she's 1lb wrong. |

Godolphin cast off left previous hurdling form behind when landing a Cork maiden in May (17.5f, good), earning a rating of 117; unseated on the Flat at Leopardstown on only start since; a bit to find on the figures but will like the ground and not dismissed. |

Bought for £27,000 off Godolphin for whom he won a 1m4f AW novice last year; tailed off on handicap debut at Gowran in April but came good in a maiden hurdle at Cork and now might tap back into that promise he showed for former connections; tongue-tie added. |
