5th 8 (12) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on the AW over the winter, landing handicap over 10.5f; returned to turf after summer break with two solid runs last month, hanging right and not clear run when third at Gowran (9.5f) and only faded late when 3l fifth of 17 over 1m at Cork; Colin Keane takes over from 5lb claimer here. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Consistent on the AW over the winter and spring, landing handicap over 10.5f in January; whether he's as effective on turf is questionable given he hasn't troubled the judge in eight starts on it; beaten 3l when third of 16 over 9.5f at Gowran on Wednesday. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |

Has shown all his best form at Dundalk, won there in January, his first success at the 16th attempt; turf credentials are weak. |

26th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Versatile sort having won over hurdles, fences and twice on the AW; put up his best effort on this third start for this yard when second of ten in a similar contest at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) eight days ago (a nose in front of Fighting Poet); shortlisted. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 (3) |
18th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
A fair winning hurdler/chaser for Gordon Elliott but signed off for that yard out of form and has been beaten a long way on his two runs for current handler; drops into his first classified and needs to show more. |

16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Has been in good form this summer with wins at both Killarney and Leopardstown over slightly shorter; decent run at Ballinrobe afterwards, but Gowran effort on Wednesday was disappointing; 3lb out of handicap here. |
10/1 |
|
9th 4 (11) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
9st 12lb |
Has been highly dependable in recent months, two wins and three places from his last five starts; beat 21 rivals (including Medieval Night) at Leopardstown last month and has a good chance of reaching the money again following a Ballinrobe third that gives him an edge over Miss Crinshawn. |

8st 11lb |
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. |

4th 11 (2) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Last win was over C&D two years ago; lot lower in the ratings now, with good reason, albeit made the frame in winter AW handicaps won by subsequent improvers. |

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. |

Won over 1m4f here a year ago; form has been uneven since, good run over 1m4f in December on penultimate start; failed to build on that over this trip the following month. |

Sole win came on AW; creditable effort on good to firm at Ayr before lesser run at Dundalk last Friday; unproven on this sort of ground and has a poor draw; cheekpieces. |

Is 3-34 on turf but no win in three years; okay run when fading into eighth at Leopardstown last month but couldn't build on that last time; cheekpieces go on. |

12th May 2025 Good 0m 7f 111y |
8st 11lb |
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.
