9st 9lb |
Maiden/handicap winner last season at 1m and 1m1f (both on soft); mixed form this campaign until career-best last month when chasing home an all-the-way winner in Listowel Listed (yielding), despite having raced keenly and running wide on a bend; more needed. |

Three wins on turf and twice over hurdles; comes here on the back of two average runs at Clonmel and Listowel; 4lb lower on the AW and a positive rider booking. |

Five-time winner, below best this season; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe in May; disappointed in his nest two races, over hurdles at Clonmel in May and back on the Flat at Tramore last month; dropped away tamely in fourth at Clonmel last week; needs to raise his game. |

9st 0lb |
Has some eyecatching hurdle form this year and latest 6l fifth in a Listed handicap at Listowel was another sound effort; however, although a winner on the Flat, he hasn't been great this year. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Second to subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown in July, and went one better over 2m1f at Killarney last month under a positive ride; soon beaten back on the Flat at Cork recently but remains of interest. |

Second to the subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown in July, so no surprise that he went one place better at Killarney last month; in between, seventh of 17 in a 1m4f handicap at Galway; this trip is probably a little short of his best |

Three-time winner and 2lb beneath his last winning mark; beaten about 4l in his last two races at 1m1f so not in bad form and he might get a good pace to chase, which helps him. |

9st 9lb |
Record of 2-36 but it was his first run in blinkers when winning well over 1m2f at Clonmel (yielding) and again failed to convince over further at the Curragh; back at 1m2f he should run well, for all that he's 7lb higher than for that recent win. |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |

Was recording a second career win when taking 1m2f Clonmel contest last month in first-time blinkers, coming from off the pace to win going away; up 7lb for that and unconvincing over this longer trip in the past; encouraging jockey booking. |

0-13 and makes a quick reappearance after finishing last of eight on her British debut over C&D on Friday; the hood is removed and a transformation is needed. |

11th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 130y |
9st 8lb |
Came good at the third attempt when beating two market leaders in a 1m2f maiden on good ground at Navan in June; set a tough task in a Group 3 race at Naas later that month; her sights are lowered considerably, and she appeals as a relatively unexposed filly in her first handicap. |

Best run for this yard was when runner-up over 1m1f in a Leopardstown handicap last summer (soft); lost form after that and was well beaten on his seasonal return last month at Leopardstown; visor goes on and has been given a chance at the weightings but you'd like to see more positive recent form. |
