21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Seven-time turf winner who is running well and he wasn't favoured by his track position when just behind War Rooms on Leopardstown's big card last week; considered. |

8st 10lb |
Seven-time turf winner; has never won on AW (despite 18 attempts) so it seems encouraging that he managed a second placing on his latest visit to Dundalk four weeks ago; that was prefaced by a second at Gowran earlier that week. |

30th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 90y |
9st 5lb |
Lost a Group 3 in the stewards room earlier this year; odds-on when beaten in a handicap at Naas (1m2f, good) and never got involved from off the pace when tried hooded in a Group 3 on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown (1m4f); might yet be capable of better. |
7/1 |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 1m 4f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Navan maiden win came on soft and most recently career-best albeit beaten odds-on favourite when second in Naas handicap over 1m2f (good); first attempt at 1m4f and hood tried. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
9st 13lb |
Looked good in winning his maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) and was first past the post in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh only to be demoted for causing interference; again wandered for pressure when eighth in another Group 3 at Royal Ascot and no surprise to see him now gelded; into his first handicap here and retains significant potential. |

9st 13lb |
Off the mark in a 1m Killarney handicap in July (good) but has struggled since under both codes; however, now tries cheekpieces and this mark shouldn't be beyond him. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |
10st 0lb |
Sole win in 15 starts on the Flat came at Killarney in July; unplaced favourite for Galway event in which Zaraahmondo finished second; out of the money over hurdles at Killarney on latest. |
8/1 |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win in 14 starts on Flat came here over 1m on good last month off 75; set to finish a decent third on hurdles debut at Tipperary in October; that form entitles him to be considered. |

1-11 over hurdles; failed to find his best form last season; fit from a chasing/Flat campaign; others have stronger recent credentials. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |
8st 9lb |
Only a length off Lambourn on his debut and later won a 1m maiden at the Curragh; beaten about 7l in his two races this season (the latest a handicap) but has been gelded and could come good again at some point. |
6/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Curragh maiden winner last autumn had an underwhelming seasonal return in 1m2f Roscommon median auction contest last month (winner Arouet runs in Listed race on this card) but was eased once chance had gone; slight drop in trip could suit and unwise to rule out on handicap debut. |

9st 5lb |
3yo's best maiden efforts came over 7f-9.5f on good ground at Gowran; soundly beaten on handicap debut at Naas (10.5f, good) when 5lb wrong; now sports a tongue tie; untried on testing ground and a bit to prove for now. |

24th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 110y |

5lb out of the weights for this handicap debut but his maiden runs weren't devoid of promise and has been gelded; the market should be informative with the same yard also running Reyenzi. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 100y |

Promising on only start last season when splitting two market principals in 7f maiden on good at this venue; soft ground may have been his undoing on seasonal debut at Cork; failed to stay 1m5f at Ballinrobe last month. |
