Just the one win in 2024 but has run with credit in a couple of big field handicaps this summer; surprisingly has never run on this surface before; getting down to quite a handy mark. |

Hard to win with, fair seventh in the Irish Cambridgeshire, 7f inadequate at Laytown on Thursday; up against it and 2lb wrong. |

2-26 on turf and is 1lb lower than when last scoring at the Galway festival in 2025 (8.5f, soft); well held in the Cambridgeshire at the Curragh on latest and unproven on this surface; 7f is a query too; others preferred. |

Is just 2-25 but ran a cracker in this race last year, just getting chinned after forcing the pace; hasn't repeated that level in four runs this year but is off a dangerous mark if getting back to best; 1lb out of the handicap. |

10st 0lb |
Three-time winner here over 1m/1m1f; stamina won't be a problem as he was keeping on when fourth over 1m4f on the AW last week (visored; last win was in these reapplied blinkers); not handicapped out of it. |

Course winner was too keen over 1m4f here last week, so not sure the addition of cheekpieces will help matters; touched off over this trip at Naas last month. |
8/1 |

7th 3 (10) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Most recent of his wins was over 1m1f at Leopardstown 13 months ago; went close twice at this venue last winter, including at this trip; well held in two starts at Leopardstown before a return to form with a head second to today's rival Diamond Exchange over 1m3f at Naas. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 (4) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |

Latest win was just under a year ago over 1m1f at Leopardstown, although twice went close on AW over the winter (at this trip and 1m4f); well held in two starts at Leopardstown this summer, although it was a hot race last time and this is more his level. |

Two of his three wins have come over 7f at this track, both times with a cut in the ground; was also a close third in this race last year; below his best in three starts this term and needs to do much better from 2lb out of the handicap. |

Won his second race when scoring over 1m at Limerick but was disappointing off this mark at Killarney last week when raced keenly; needs to rebound. |

14th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
8st 9lb |
C&D winner last year; solid form at 1m this season and won impressively at Limerick (1m, good) on latest off 8lb lower; drawn wide but that shouldn't be an issue given his run style; career high mark but there could be more to come. |

Five-time winner on the Flat, below form on last two runs in that sphere, last seen finishing tenth of 11 over extended 1m2f at Dundalk off a mark of 63; stays 1m; off 113 days; late comer to hurdles and makes debut. |

Veteran is an eight-time winner (1-6 on AW), the last of those at Fairyhouse in 2024; ran a good race from a wide draw at that venue on penultimate but not as good at Limerick since; handicapped to go close if running to his ability. |

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 |
9st 9lb |
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. |

Last turf win came at Naas in August 2024 over 7f on good; signs he could capitalise on sliding mark when close third at Killarney (1m, good) in May but disappointing favourite at Listowel 11 days ago; step up in trip should suit but becoming hard to predict. |
