16th Oct 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
10st 1lb |
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. |

Sole win was in 7f maiden here two years ago; has come down appreciably in the ratings and a couple of creditable 6f runs at the Curragh this season, including when around 4l off Clonmacash last time. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Only two wins from 33 starts; has occasionally run well in good company, notably when second in a premier handicap at last year's Irish Champions meeting at Leopardstown; down the field in the same race this season; now 19lb below her career-high mark, might not be a lost cause. |
12/1 |
|
11th 19 (17) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 60y |
8st 7lb |
Has a poor strike rate (2-26); however, worth recalling that she finished second (behind Pink Oxalis) when a 40-1 chance in this race 12 months ago; fair form this season; yard emerging from a quiet spell; lively outsider potentially. |
20/1 |

5th 14 (14) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |

Poor strike-rate but hasn't been too far away in her last three handicaps and copes fine with all ground; each-way claims. |

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. |

Signed off for Ger Lyons with victory in a claimer; six runs for this yard haven't been without promise, and latest run at Laytown can be forgiven. |

6th 5 (10) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

One of two for yard; has posted solid enough efforts the last twice, beaten 2.25l at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) and then keeping on for a 4.25l fourth of 13 at Galway (8.5f, yld-sft); 3-4 on the AW (including a win over 7f); shortlisted. |

Fully exposed 9yo with three wins apiece on turf and AW; second at Leopardstown in August, three starts ago; other than that, 2026 form does not amount to much. |

10st 2lb |
Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown and when third over 1m here 11 days ago, a good effort in the circumstances; Billy Lee has a good record on her. |

Six-time winner, including twice in July; defied a 7lb rise for a Ballinrobe success when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival; overcame a high draw, and the loss of several lengths at the start; holding her form well judged on last week's Galway second. |

6-46 on turf; losing run stretches back to October 2024; poor form on AW last winter; shaped reasonably well at Listowel on first run for this stable; ran to roughly the same standard at Limerick; stablemate She's On The Ball is more appealing. |
