1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 205y |
10st 2lb |
9yo has won six races including one over C&D; shaped as though still retaining ability when runner up in higher grades than this at Galway and fourth at the Curragh; 2lb below last win and can go well. |

Four of his six wins have come at this venue, two over this trip; ran another sound race when splitting Genuine Article and Titanium at the festival; a bit below his best in two more recent runs; could feature back at his favourite track with a valuable 7lb off. |

Four of his six wins have come at Galway and good second there last month; setting steady pace left him vulnerable at the Curragh on latest; rider's claim here a positive. |

Dual-purpose Flat winner yet to score over timber; soundly beaten first two starts for this yard over hurdles at Sligo and on the Flat at Bellewstown; revival required. |

Dual-purpose mare whose best recent Flat form has come over 1m4f-1m6f; beaten 20l in a 25.5f handicap hurdle on latest; headgear worn that day discarded; this trip surely too sharp. |

Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

A 9yo with ten wins on the board and arrives here in good form, last time overcoming a slow start to finish second at the Curragh (7f); won't mind returning to further and he's firmly in the mix. |

Heavily-raced gelding recorded a seventh AW win recently; turf record is less persuasive (3-71), though some encouragement can be taken from last month's third of 20 at Leopardstown. |

Off the mark at Killarney off 7lb lower (1m, soft); another fine run at Listowel last month when a close second (1m, heavy); below her best when finishing behind The Blue Panther at Bellewstown latest; can get involved on her best form. |

Third runner for local yard; four-time winner; last turf win in 2023 over 8.5f at Galway (soft); two AW wins since; hard to fancy on this year's form but has placed multiple times over C&D, including when runner-up at this festival last year from a stone higher; can't dismiss. |

Won a Curragh handicap (1m, good) last year; put in a satisfactory effort on return at Navan in April when tackling 1m2f for the first time and beaten only 3l into fifth over same trip at Leopardstown on latest; goes on any ground; worth considering. |

Two Flat wins came in 2024; recent Fairyhouse run leaves him with a good bit to find but previous Leopardstown third was a solid run; visor tried now, replacing tongue-tie/cheekpieces; interesting jockey booking. |

1st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 160y |

Two Flat wins came in 2024; two hurdle runs didn't go to plan but bounced back with a good third over 1m1f back on the level at Leopardstown (good to firm), headed inside the final 110yards; this trip looks ideal for him and a tongue tie is added to the cheekpieces; in the mix off 1lb higher. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals in the Irish Lincoln on return; not as effective over an extended 1m2f in a Listed race at Naas; back to form quickly to take second in a 1m2f premier handicap at the Curragh; this is probably closer to his optimum trip. |

Enjoyed a terrific spell last October, notching three wins and two places during a hectic spell; maintained his rate of improvement when beating 24 rivals here in the Irish Lincoln on return; fine run came to an end in 10.5f Listed at Naas and he's probably better over shorter. |
