10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Three wins this year, two on turf at 7f and on the AW over 1m; most recent win came at the Curragh in June off 2lb lower; held twice since, including when beaten 9.25l after a sluggish start at Roscommon on latest; needs more off this mark. |

Two wins at the Curragh this season, both over 7f on good ground; not a bad run off revised mark over 1m there on latest and probably has more improvement to come but tricky draw to contend with here. |

In fine form this year; AW winner in February has raced three times at this track, winning twice over 7f and finishing second once over C&D; up 5lb for her latest win here last time (7f, good) under today's rider; could post another bold bid. |

Won off 50 here in January (1m) and runner up over C&D off 63 in March but form has nosedived since; well held in 7f-1m handicaps here the last thrice and needs to rediscover best with hood tried last time discarded. |

C&D winner was favourite here last week, but was too keen from a bad draw; same stall here, so Keane will have to be at his best. |

Consistent here last winter; sole win was over this trip in January, placed six times in all either side of that, over 10.5f latterly; couple of 6f turf runs lately served their purpose, which was to get him back into this grade, and leading claimer knows him. |

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. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

4th 7 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |

Has finished in the first three in her last six races on turf; narrowly denied in a 7f claimer at this venue in May; backed that up with third placings in a maiden at Bellewstown and a handicap at Naas; thoroughly deserved her win in a 7f claimer here last month; has joined Ian Donoghue and can continue to pay her way. |

Donegal-trained prominent racer is modest maiden, but nearly landed a gamble over 1m at Gowran last summer and good effort on AW after; money for him on return when missed break, and jockey booking looks significant. |
