18th Oct 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
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 |
11st 2lb |
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. |

9st 3lb |
Last year's Leopardstown win came off 3lb lower mark; good recent runs at Leopardstown and Naas this season; blinkered for the first time after an unplaced run behind Lough Leane at Down Royal. |

19th Sep 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 0y |

Three-time winner has run some solid races in defeat this term, notably when a close fourth over C&D the last twice; handles easy ground and should be a player down 2lb. |

1st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Roscommon winner on soft a year ago off 59; hasn't won since although C&D fourth (Roderick second) in June was a good effort, coming from well back from a wide draw; ground to suit, should go well. |

Fair third off 70 in a heavy-ground maiden over this trip at Gowran last October; handicap mark going the right way, but overall form disappointing; the drop back in trip could be a positive. |
8/1 |
|
6th 4 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Standout effort a 3l third in a 9.5f (heavy) maiden at Gowran last October; weakened over 1m5f on seasonal return at Ballinrobe; has had issues in the starting stalls before; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; needs more. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (5) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Frankel filly put in her best effort when third in a heavy ground Gowran fillies' maiden last October over an extended 1m1f; reportedly got upset in the stalls on both handicap starts at Dundalk later in the year; risky in the circumstances. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |

AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard, most recently beaten a head in Killarney handicap and creditable second in a Gowran claimer when visored first-time; more needed. |

2nd 12 (10) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 1lb |
AW winner in January has run some good races in defeat for this yard; second at Limerick in June (1m, yielding) but her run over C&D two days later probably came too soon; another promising effort at Killarney last time when defeated by a head (1m, good); wears a first-time visor; chance. |

Best handicap display came at Down Royal in May when third over 7f; didn't reproduce that at Leopardstown 16 days ago, when tenth of 22 and 5.25l behind Yquem; likely capable of better. |

Just one win from 22 starts, but ran well here last month over 10.5f on just her third AW start when chasing home a rank outsider; below that level when outpaced over 1m last week; step up in trip can help. |

Won a modest 7f maiden at Dundalk in February but soundly beaten in handicaps after that, including when last of all in two turf runs at Leopardstown over 1m; better effort in an AW claimer when last seen; others more likely; 12th in the 5.45 at Leopardstown yesterday. |

Been running consistently well on the AW for over a year, landing two handicaps, latest in November off this mark; beaten favourite 104 days ago when 2.75l behind Daonethatgotaway over 1m4f; four turf runs have been poor and soft ground unlikely to suit; drawn wide. |

5th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; placed on all three hurdling starts for current stable, losing out only by a short head at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) on second occasion; not bred for fences and unraced over this far but could be hard to beat in this modest race if his jumping is adequate; hooded for first time. |

0-16 but early days with this yard and he's due a 6lb rise after going down by a short head at Sedgefield ten days ago (2m1f, good); he was clear of the third that day; clear claims. |

Verdict
Reserve Porsche Lad would be very interesting if getting a run, while the long absent Dromore Glory has run well fresh in the past so holds legitimate claims with Colin Keane booked. However, the choice is CANDIDLY, staying on nicely over C&D last month when not getting clear daylight, despite this wide draw. Church Mountain retains appeal back at his optimum trip, while another to consider is the still unexposed handicap debutant Metamorphic. [Alan Hewison]
