1-21 but has finished runner up on five occasions; hasn't built on promising seasonal return over C&D but is lurking on a dangerous mark if rediscovering her best. |

8st 7lb |
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. |

Only two wins from 22 Flat starts; however, he won a C&D handicap 12 months ago, and has been placed nine times; below best on seasonal debut at the Curragh in April; more like it when fifth at the same venue in May; drawn high. |

Three wins have come at Leopardstown up to 1m1f; this trip is likely to stretch him. |

6th 5 (5) |
9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have come at Leopardstown, including last time over 1m1f (good) when a comfortable victor after being allowed to dictate the pace; 5lb rise for that seems fair enough and he's in good form but must win away from his preferred track. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |
9st 11lb |
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. |

9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
8st 11lb |
AW and two-time turf winner whose last success came over C&D (good) last August off 9lb lower; may have needed latest run over 1m4f here after 105 days off so may take a step forward now dropped back in trip with that run under his belt. |

Three wins have been over shorter trips, including here last summer (1m1f, good); only caught late over this trip on AW over the winter so has to be considered on turf return. |

9st 10lb |
Best known as a three-time Curragh winner; five wins in all, none since April 2024; weak form last season; well supported at Navan (6f) on seasonal/stable debut but was always behind and finished last; signs of a return to form here on latest but held by Miss Americana and Hell Let Loose. |

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. |

Reserve; dual 1m winner on good and heavy ground; now high in the weights but his rider takes away 5lb and blinkers are tried. |

23rd Jul 2025 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |

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 |

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. |

Eight-time winner (placed 20 times) who marked his 100th appearance with a fair sixth of 18 at Fairyhouse recently, one place in front of today's rival Jazzy Dancer; almost two years since his last win; might struggle to record another success in the closing stages of his career. |

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. |

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. |
