10st 0lb |
Looked set for a big season after his Listed win at Cork but it hasn't materialised; upset in stalls when soundly beaten again upped to 6f at Naas latest; however, he has C&D form figures of 132, including a head second in this last year, so the return to this venue offers hope of a revival. |

Smart 2yo who nearly won a Group 3 over 5f and a Listed winner this season; dropped his guard of late, though did contest the Group 1 Flying Five last time; this is a belated first try at 6f but it might suit. |

Four wins include valuable C&D handicap and only just failed to get up in similar contest last month, finishing strongly; didn't land a blow but by no means disgraced eighth of 21 in very valuable York handicap latest; new headgear combination tried. |

Irish raider; he has run some solid races in defeat this summer but this looks a tough race in which to try to end a four-year drought. |

Four-time winner was only beaten a short head by Ipanema Queen at Cork last time (5f, good to firm); nudged up 1lb but more concerning is that his runs at this track this term have been moderate; capable if things fall right though. |

Below par in Stewards' Cup but largely in good form over 5f/6f otherwise for current stable, keeping-on third in Shergar Cup Dash most recently; again has place claims. |

3rd 4 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Ran on well when third in a C&D handicap last month; not in the same form when down the field in the Stewards' Cup last week; not discounted in these slightly calmer waters. |

6f winner at Thirsk (good) in May and back at a similar level when a keeping-on third behind Dubai Bling at Ascot (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago; should run his race but others are perhaps better treated. |

Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

One of two for yard; has won four times at 6f-7f and is 2-2 at this track; sole win last year came in a three-runner auction race at Fairyhouse (6f, good); subsequently placed in Listed and Group 3 company; had a few of these behind when a 3.5l third at Cork (6f, soft) on seasonal return; sharper now but has never won over 5f and Billy Lee prefers Bonus Time. |

Four wins at 6f-7f with his best effort coming when unluckily denied by Art Power in a Group 3 (soft) at the Curragh last autumn; below form next time at Ascot but is rated 109 and this ground suits so can be a big player. |

28th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 6f 0y |

3yo's sole success came in a 6f Naas maiden last October; placed in a listed race at Doncaster later that month (6f, soft) but two runs this season have been well below that level; well beaten off 96 in the Bold Lad latest; hard to make a case for. |

10st 0lb |
Mostly campaigned (without success) in Listed company since winning off 77 at Chepstow (5f, gd-sft) last August; remains 10lb above that last success but a repeat of her 3l Cork fourth on penultimate would give her a squeak back in handicap company and she'll be suited by a strongly run race. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y Class 1 |
9st 6lb |
Unplaced in seven races (six of them Listed) since winning a Class 4 handicap at Chepstow (5f, good to soft) last August; ran okay on Sunday but she will need more to take this; blinkers the headgear of choice. |

Three-time winner in handicaps; has finished behind Keke in her last two races but wasn't too far away last time at Naas (Listed) despite fluffing the start; 80-1 that day but won't be anything like those odds here; could feature. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Very promising start to her career, winning a Curragh 2yo maiden in September 2024 before narrowly denied in a rated race over today's C&D on last summer's comeback run; some okay runs this season, not least on latest when good fourth (having had to be switched) in Curragh Listed last month; one to consider. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Very promising start to her career, winning a C&D maiden in September 2024 before narrowly denied in Naas rated race on next start in June 2025; highly tried to no avail since but definite signs of life when not beaten that far in 5f Listed race at Cork last time (good) and wasn't disgraced in C&D Group 2 on penultimate; return to 6f a positive and could outrun likely odds. |
28/1 |

Lightly raced filly who won a Curragh 6f maiden on debut at two; showed up well for a long way in a 6f Group 2 back there three weeks ago and she's down in class here and trip; hard to rule out. |

Yet to win this year but has been running very well in defeat; chased home Valiant Force over C&D latest (Black Forza and The Highway Rat behind); fine third in the 5f Group 2 Sapphire Stakes earlier this season; won her maiden here (6f) and she should be in the mix again. |

14th Oct 2025 Standard 0m 5f 0y |

Yet to add to her 6f debut win at this venue; running well in defeat in stakes company this season and her rating of 98 might underestimate her ability; the return to this venue is a plus and she should go well. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |

Went close in two early season maidens and bounced back from a couple of lesser efforts when beaten a short head at Cork a fortnight ago; has shown plenty of speed, so 5f will probably be fine and she sets a solid enough standard on form. |
