9st 6lb |
Shed his maiden tag at the 16th time of asking when scoring over C&D in January; raised 6lb and upped in grade/trip last time when beaten 16.5l, perhaps didn't stay that day; not ruled out with winning claimer back aboard. |

9st 9lb |
Maiden has run well in defeat at times, including when a 3l third of 16 on seasonal return at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft); never involved upped to 1m5f at Navan next time (good); she's better than that. |

9st 9lb |
Maiden but has run well in defeat, including when a keeping-on 3l third of 16 on seasonal return at Roscommon on latest (1m4f, yld-sft); worth a go at this longer trip on that evidence; big player off the same mark. |

Maiden was good fifth over 1m at the Curragh in October; then stepped back up in trip to 10.5f on AW, best run when second in November; no impact in one previous attempt over this far; headgear left off. |

A fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott but signed off for that yard out form and was beaten a long way on yard debut on the AW (1m4f). |

29th May 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
Course scorer (for Robert Eddery) in 2023; a fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott since but pulled up over hurdles at Perth last month on final run for yard; more needed for his new stable. |

Dual AW Flat winner who has won a chase and a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick since joining Gordon Elliott; hasn't been at his best since winning over hurdles in October (2m1f, yielding); stable has a fine record here. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 2lb |
Six career wins and undergoing a real new lease of life this season with victories in handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown; 11lb rise for those two wins is not excessive and every chance of going close once more. |
4/1 |
|
1st 10 (7) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) in May, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third; no match for Yquem over C&D three weeks ago; could struggle to turn the tables on the in-foal winner. |

2nd 10 (7) |
18th Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 1f 0y |

Followed a poor effort at Cork with a 33-1 win at Killarney (1m, good) last month, holding on by a short head after making all; backed that up with a C&D third last week, only a nose behind Ella's Gold who bids to advertise the form in the first heat; makes plenty of appeal. |

Has made the frame in four of his last six starts but now on a two-year losing sequence; beaten around 8l in fourth at Roscommon; allowance should be made for interference suffered under two furlongs down. |

11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Three-time AW winner and last of two turf wins came in Roscommon handicap nearly two years ago (off 61); AW form over the winter wasn't bad so can't be ruled out. |

C&D winner in the winter and has added two wins on turf; likes a bit of space, so draw is okay, but she might be high enough in the handicap now. |
9/1 |

8th 3 (13) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |
9st 13lb |
Keeping herself busy; came home strongly under Orla Tynan to win at Roscommon (7.5f, good) but went up 10lb for that and was only midfield at the Curragh, albeit over 6.5f that was probably too sharp; others might be better in. |
6/1 |

11th 5 (9) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 63y |

Improver this year, all three wins under this rider, most recently over extended 7f at Roscommon last month, coming home strongly after being switched to the outer in straight; hit with a 10lb rise for that however and upped in grade now; not sure the drop in trip will suit. |

12th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Won on good and the AW when trained in Britain; added a third career success a month ago at Dundalk where she went off pretty quick in the new blinkers and just held on (80-1); whether this will pan out so favourably is questionable. |

Verdict
Not too many appeal, but SARMIENTO POWER remains of interest back in trip, the 4yo’s C&D second two starts back having been franked since by the third home. At opposite ends of the handicap, Thompson Gunner and Sporting Aclaim look likely dangers, while Someone’s Wish has to be respected back from chasing. Nibras Rainbow has stamina concerns.
