10st 0lb |
Some okay runs on turf this year but only win and best figures have come at Dundalk, where he again ran well ten days ago; Jimmy Dalton's claim eases his hefty burden and not without hope. |

Won this a year ago and touched off over C&D next time; some okay turf runs this year, can race prominently and is well drawn to do so. |

AW winner has yet to score on turf but plenty of good runs in defeat, notably at Leopardstown and Limerick over the summer; recent Gowran effort wasn't a bad one, showing plenty of speed (7f); drop in trip could suit. |

Gained third win (first on AW) with a neck success over C&D off this mark in November; lost ground at the start in next two outings; modest sixth here in January and same story over C&D last time; needs things to fall right, but chance if on a going day. |

Last season's 50-1 success in a 27-runner 6f contest at the Curragh now looks like a fluke; hard to fancy on this season's form; new headgear combination. |

A 14-race maiden whose only placed run was at this venue early in her career; fair sixth of 17 at Leopardstown three starts ago; unappealing on the balance of form. |

A 13-race maiden; bits and pieces of form to her credit and did some very good late work behind Launch Time at Leopardstown; couldn't back that up at Bellewstown but return to a more galloping track should suit, albeit wide draw not ideal. |

On the go since June of last year; two wins in 2026, over 6f at Dundalk in March and over 6f at Fairyhouse (good) in June and runs off last winning mark; last couple of runs not his best, however, and others arrive in better form. |

9st 6lb |
Of interest on best Irish form but she's struggled in her last five runs including on stable debut here (8.6f) two weeks ago; record is now 0-9 and she needs to turn things around back in trip; cheekpieces added. |

Of interest on her best Irish form and that came on the AW track at Dundalk (7f); sold for 1,000gns in January; stamina for his trip has to be taken on trust though. |

Kept on late on her reappearance over 6f at Navan in May; deserved much credit for winning at Bellewstown last month after almost losing her footing in treacherous conditions; not beaten far in fourth at Cork off this mark 12 days ago; place chance. |

8st 2lb |
Three wins this year, the latest at Leicester (7f, good to firm) in June, and now makes her stable debut having been picked up for 1,000gns this month; ran well on yielding ground in Ireland, but stamina for this far is still to be proven and she is 2lb out of the weights. |

1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Overcame slow start to win in newly applied visor at Leicester (7f; from 3lb lower) on penultimate start; less productive (fourth of five) back there over 6f subsequently; cheekpieces refitted, and Christian Howarth's 3lb claim can assist. |
7/2 |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

A change of headgear saw her run out a comfortable winner over 7f here nine days ago, her third turf win since joining James Owen; can start slowly but a 4lb rise isn't beyond her. |

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |

Verdict
Despite the lack of a recent run and high draw it may pay to take a chance on SCARLET WIDOW, well-handicapped and from a yard that continues in fine form. Top-weight Send Harry remains very much of interest after a recent C&D win, while others to consider are Prime Sign, Suerte and Macadam’s Rock. [Alan Hewison]
