16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Useful form in juvenile maidens, culminating in a 6f Cork win on yielding-to-soft last September; found to be lame when an unplaced favourite for a 6f Listed race at Fairyhouse later that month; makes a belated return; may outrun his 89 rating but faces a huge task |

9st 5lb |
93 rated St Mark's Basilica colt got off the mark in a 6f Cork maiden (yld-sft) 12 days ago; was no match for Chicago Call in a C&D maiden (good) on debut but could turn the tables on this easier ground; leading chance. |

Favourite on debut over this trip at Fairyhouse, left with plenty to do, ran green but stayed on well to chase home a clear winner; still looked a bit raw when third behind subsequent Group 2 runner-up Geryon over 7f at the Curragh; failed to find much when fourth over 7f at Gowran last week; not guaranteed to benefit from a drop in trip. |

9st 3lb |
Maiden winner over 6f last year had been running mostly in stakes company until making his handicap debut at Cork last time (5f, good to firm) when eighth of 11 and behind a few of these; dropped 3lb but more needed. |

Maiden winner over 6f last year has mostly faced stakes company since and run well in defeat at times; drops to this trip for the first time with cheekpieces added; the drop in grade is a help. |

17th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Won a 6f Fairyhouse maiden over this trip last July (good); best form when just denied in a Listed event at the same track in September (6f, yielding); improved over moderate seasonal return at Cork when a 3l sixth at Navan last time (6f, good to yielding); others preferred. |

6f maiden winner in Ireland last term but he's been out of sorts in four runs for new yard this season; continues to drop down the weights but he needs to turn things around. |

3yo landed the third win of his career when beating Eclairage by a head at Navan in May (5f, yielding); has been beaten in conditions races twice since and is 7lb higher on return to handicap company; sole previous AW run wasn't his best, but his yard is red-hot so can't discount. |

Beat Punica Granatum in a Gowran maiden last year and ran well in a soft-ground winners' race over C&D on next start; seemingly too high in the handicap this term, but never-nearer third at speed-favouring Gowran was a much better effort and showed he's now on a competitive mark; headgear returns. |

25th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August; well handicapped on that form but he's struggled since and has form figures of 89089 for his current yard; lost to prove. |

Two sprint wins in Ireland as 2yo, including when making all at the Curragh (6f, good) last August, but in poor form on turf and the AW in Britain this year and it's hard to believe he's worth his current mark. |

Has contested Listed races over this trip at the Curragh and 6f at Fairyhouse since debut fourth behind the useful Kansas (rated 101, second in the Flying Childers) in a decent 5f maiden at Tipperary in July; rated marginally superior to Bad Boy Rizz and Ennoble. |

Decent efforts both starts, in a 5f Tipperary maiden (good) and a 5f listed heat at the Curragh (good) last month when a 7.25l fourth; gelded since and needs to find improvement to get involved here. |

3yo filly; won on debut at Gowran (7f, good) last September and close third in Listed race over this C&D (yielding) the following month (Howd'yadoit fourth); run may have come too soon when soundly beaten in Curragh Group 3 six days later; 18-1 and no show on seasonal return in Gowran handicap (7f, soft); needs to leave that behind. |

Course and distance maiden winner on debut last year; ran big race when beaten under a length in Listed company at Fairyhouse afterwards; below that form when well-held in Group 3 206 days ago but that may have come too soon; stiff opening mark but open to improvement; one of three for yard that have won four out of the last five renewals. |

One of two for yard; Galileo Gold filly won a Gowran maiden on debut (7f, good); coped fine with the step up in grade when a close third in a 6f listed heat at Fairyhouse (yielding) six days ago, finishing strongly after not getting the clearest of runs; return to 7f a plus; big chance. |
