2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
10st 2lb |
Fine record on AW (4-10), sole turf win coming over 1m2f at Fairyhouse in May; way below best of late and claimed out of Paul Flynn's yard for 7,000euros at Roscommon last month; drops in grade. |

Fine record on AW (4-10), 1-18 on turf, unconvincing form since Fairyhouse win in May; would receive 9lb from stablemate Forlio in a handicap. |

Solid strike rate on AW (4-10) but just 1-17 on turf; that win came at Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in May off 5lb lower; has struggled off revised mark in three runs since and handicapper slow to relent. |

12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |
9st 10lb |
On a long losing sequence since a 1m Bellewstown success in the early part of last season; unplaced on his last six starts, others seem much more likely. |

9th 4 (8) |
12th Jul 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |

Has winning and placed form over C&D, but has a habit of starting slowly which has been evident on turf lately; placed on last two visits here earlier this year. |

10st 0lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; eased 4lb for midfield finish at Galway last time and worth checking in the market. |
18/1 |
|
9th 10 (18) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
9st 8lb |
Both turf wins came over 1m but proved stamina for 1m4f when scoring at Dundalk in February; nice prep run for this at Navan over 1m2f and the step back up to this trip is a plus but he's got a tricky draw to overcome. |

1st Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Ought to have coped much better with the good to soft turf when down the field at Ayr (6f) three weeks ago but ran on well for second behind a next-time-out winner over C&D on stable debut in July and has good claims if judged on that performance. |
11/2 |

10th 1 (9) |
10th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
On a losing run but he made a good start for new yard (formerly with Stephen Hanlon) with second of 12 in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 11 days ago; up 2lb but not taken lightly. |
7/2 |

8th 3 (7) |
16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Loves Dundalk and won three in a row there in the spring (10.5f/1m4f); sole turf win came here last summer over 1m1f (off 60) and will be sharper for Roscommon run after nearly three months off; AW mark of 87; turf mark of 78 reflects his good AW form earlier in the year, rather than his actual achievements on grass. |

Six-time C&D winner for John McConnell including this race in 2023 and 2024; modest efforts first two runs for this yard but is now 4lb below his last success and a big run would come as no surprise. |
18/1 |

8th 8 (12) |

Six-time winner on the AW; back from nearly a year off the track when sixth of 13 here (7f) behind a couple of today's rivals on stable debut; yard's runners highly respected at this track and he's entitled to strip fitter; wide draw. |

Has a better strike rate on AW (7-24); however, capable enough on turf (3-24, placed four times) to have a say in a race like this. best of three starts on turf this year when second over 1m at Limerick in April. |
8/1 |

Three-time turf winner won this race last year (Anvika third); back to form when recording a 10th career win at Dundalk in March; runner-up over C&D (yielding; form has worked out well) on penultimate; troubled passage last time at Down Royal; wouldn't want it too soft. |
7/1 |

Twice a 1m course winner, the latest in November off 8lb lower; soundly beaten on last four starts, including twice over the extended 1m2f; now drops to 7f for the first time in the 20th race of his career; hard to be sure how he will cope. |
