Irish raider who is on a dangerous mark but her last win was 13 months ago and she's been inconsistent this year; comes with risks attached and she's untried on Tapeta. |

Both wins have come over C&D on soft ground, including this race two years ago; could easily leave behind his last two efforts. |
8/1 |
|
6th 7 (11) |
8th Sep 2026 Soft 0m 7f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Both wins have come over this trip at Down Royal on soft, the latest in June; disappointing on faster ground at Bellewstown since but can do better back on easier ground. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |

Generally consistent sort gained a second handicap win at Down Royal (7f, soft) two weeks ago off 58; in form but most of best turf form is on softer ground so probably needs rain. |

8/1 |
|
4th 13 (9) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 0f 0y |
8st 12lb |
All three wins have come on turf, but has placed form over 7f/1m here and top 'bug' rides; back from a break, though, and it usually takes a run to sharpen him. |
14/1 |
|
7th 13 (11) |
11th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

One of his three wins came over C&D and has often run well in defeat here, too; second to well-treated types at Galway and Dundalk in later months of last year; well supported into 10-3 when third to Kitty Bear at Gowran last month. |

16th Oct 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 10lb |
Busy as ever this year, winning over 1m here and at the Curragh (beat Avec Grand Plaisir); a bit below par at Fairyhouse last time; not tried very often over this trip but does stay; shouldn't be far away. |
8/1 |
|
8th 3 (12) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 11lb |
11-time winner approaching the veteran stage; has kept his form very well this year, gaining a deserved win at the Curragh and running well twice since; goes well for this claimer and every chance that he will be on the premises once more. |
10/1 |
|
5th 4 (15) |
9th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Has held his form well in recent months; two wins in 2026 have brought his career tally to 11; backed up a narrow Curragh success (Sherekiya, third) with another solid display in taking third at Navan 13 days ago; has won and twice finished second for 10lb claimer Cillian Rowan. |

Won a 7f Gowran claimer on her last run for Ger Keane; well below her best on two starts for this stable; others more likely. |

10th 5 (12) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Very consistent on turf this year for former yard, culminating with Gowran claimer win (7f, good) last month; failed to see out the mile on stable debut nine days ago; career-high mark to overcome. |
9/1 |
|
4th 7 (1) |
1st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 2lb |
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. |

10st 2lb |
Belated first win came over an extended 1m at Fairyhouse early last month, with Launch Time in third; fair third off his revised mark in a 1m contest at Killarney, with Draiocht in fourth; concerning that he has been unplaced in four 7f attempts. |

On a long losing run but has run well from the front the last twice, most notably at Naas last time in a race he set up for closers; could be dangerous if allowed dictate but stall 16 is problematic. |

3rd 18 (14) |

Bought out of Archie Watson's yard for 2,000gns last July and didn't run too badly on yard debut over C&D in December; faded late over 1m here when last seen; still unexposed so don't rule out; poor draw. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Heavily raced since winning easily for this rider here last October; won again at Dundalk the following month; unplaced on his next six Dundalk starts before hinting at a return to form in two outings at the Curragh; very closely matched with Miss Americana on running here 13 days ago; definite chance. |
5/1 |

3rd 12 (12) |
9th Apr 2026 Soft 0m 7f 180y |

Four-time winner on turf at 6f-1m, including when bolting up over C&D under this rider in October from 7lb lower; showed a return to form last two outings at the Curragh and will be dangerous if allowed to dictate matters. |

Returned from 182-day break and made stable/handicap debut over C&D in November but finished tailed off; same story next time over 6f; stable's sole runner of the year thus far won at 28-1; worth a market check in first-time blinkers. |
