His win in last year's renewal on soft ground was his third C&D success; placed in his previous four starts before a rare below-par effort here last time; getting on in years, but could easily bounce back. |

13th Oct 2025 Heavy 1m 2f 95y |
9st 5lb |
79-rated gelding won twice in June at Cork and Leopardstown, both over 1m on nice ground; midfield on soft to heavy at the Curragh latest (1m) and has hinted that this sort of trip might suit, though he's not bred for it. |
9/2 |
|
4 (6) |
4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Has enjoyed a fine campaign; back to back wins in June saw him go up 13lb but he has continued to acquit himself well; another sound run in a Killarney rated race latest (1m, good); probably doesn't want it too soft. |
15/2 |
|
4 (5) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 0f 30y |
9st 8lb |
Both wins on goodish ground but versatile as regards conditions as it was yielding to soft when second in a 1m handicap at Galway where three of today's rivals were behind; came from well off the pace that day so it was some effort. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Very capable on the Flat and he won his last start in this sphere when landing a Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m3f, good) in April 2024; patchy form in nine starts on the Flat since and he refused to race on both outings when last seen in October; stable debut. |
14/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition. |
25/1 |
|
5 (14) |
4th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Tardy starts have been a recurring theme for this C&D winner (heavy); very slowly away again on latest at Down Royal (1m5f, yielding); can't afford to miss the break badly at this trip; capable but risky; cheekpieces left off. |

Yet to add to 2yo success for Ralph Beckett; heavy defeats this year before creditable seventh of 22 at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) when last seen, making most; this track could suit and has been dropped a further 3lb. |

9st 7lb |
Enjoyed soft ground last year, runner-up over 1m at Galway, went one better on heavy at Listowel; below best this season until finding her form again when second over C&D in June; winner Thatwilldso has franked the form with Galway second and Sligo win; longer trip here should be fine and ground-versatile. |

Only 1-27 but twice placed here during the summer (7f/1m1f) and might have won on another day last time at Listowel where she didn't get the clearest of runs; (1m1f, yielding); stays this far; considered. |
8/1 |

3rd 12 (7) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 0y |

Heavy-ground winner at Gowran (1m1f) a year ago; best 2026 form when placed in two Leopardstown races on soft in June; rain would help. |

3yo has run respectably on last three starts in maiden company; weakened after making the running at Listowel latest (1m, heavy); probably needs more in first turf handicap. |
11/1 |
|
4th 2 (3) |
22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
No wins from 13 runs but has placed in six of them, including when a 3l second in a Galway maiden in July (7f, yielding); below his best at Gowran earlier this month; well exposed at this stage and likely to find a few too good. |
11/1 |

2 (15) |
2nd Sep 2025 Good 0m 7f 0y |

Placed in six of his 12 starts, including at Galway on latest, when he overhauled Men Of Honour to take second; well exposed at this stage; should be thereabouts but may again find one or two too good. |

9st 0lb |

3/1 |
|
1st 11 (10) |
25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

Dual C&D winner was around 2l off Slieve Binnian on last visit here, but now 9lb lower, so marksman is givng him every chance if he can recapture best form; yard still a bit quiet. |

Three-time AW winner is 0-23 on turf but has been placed on five occasions; not beaten far on last turf start at Leopardstown in July (1m, good); kept on steadily for a 3.5l sixth of 14 over extended 1m1f at Dundalk last month; moderate run at Down Royal eight days later. |

Two wins last year on soft/heavy and back to form last month on better ground, just failing to get up at Cork and again finished well, having had to wait for an opening, when second to Morehampton at Listowel; disappointingly never really landed a blow at the Curragh on latest and now tried in cheekpieces. |

Two wins last year on soft/heavy included this race off today's mark; back to form latest two outings last month on better ground, just failing to get up at Cork and again finished well, having had to wait for an opening, when second at Listowel; seemingly in good shape for repeat win. |
11/2 |

2nd 9 (2) |
22nd Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Won handicaps over 7f and 1m on soft ground last year; inconsistent this season, but gave it a good go last time at Cork when just missing out (1m, good); he's 3lb higher now and they claimed 5lb last time, so has more on his plate. |

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 |
