16th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y |

Best on AW (six wins) but just 1-21 on turf; scored at Dundalk in March but soundly beaten back on turf of late; jockey booking encouraging off a reduced mark. |

Best on AW (6-12) but just 1-20 on turf; scored at Dundalk in March but soundly beaten back on turf the last twice (7l behind Thatwilldoso on penultimate); drawn wide; others more convincing. |

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. |

Dual-purpose sort is 1-10 on Flat turf; won on the AW at Dundalk (1m4f) off 3lb lower in January and ran well at that venue following that; well beaten back on turf at Gowran 11 days ago (1m4f, yielding); suspicion he's not as effective on this surface. |

18th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Seven-time AW winner (7f-1m4f) when trained in Ireland, latterly in a Dundalk claimer in March; has failed to make the frame in 13 starts on grass, though, hence his much lower turf mark; lots to prove for his new yard. |

11st 10lb |
Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |
25/1 |

8th 4 (6) |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 182y |
11st 11lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; seemingly perked up by the new blinkers when a rallying third at Dundalk 19 days ago (1m4f); whether he'll be as good again is open to some debate. |

3rd 8 (4) |
23rd Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Sole success for this yard came in Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in 2024; fine effort at big odds over C&D after long layoff in January when fourth to Voice Of Reason but unable to back that up in two subsequent starts; new headgear. |

AW winner in Britain (1m) and added Limerick claimer last summer for previous yard; 0-6 for current yard, slow to break and keen when last seen in November; down to a nice mark but record fresh isn't great. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Much improved this year, recording wins at Navan, Ballinrobe and over just shy of this trip at Limerick in June; held off career-high marks last twice, trip possibly too far at Killarney and in Galway premier handicap; drops back in grade so respected, but this ground may be on the quick side. |

31st Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
8st 11lb |
In fine form on turf and on the AW in 2026; has won three of last five starts, most recently on penultimate start at Limerick (12.5f, soft) off 4lb lower; 2m1f may have stretched at Killarney latest and drops back in trip now; place shout. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 185y |

Undergoing very much a new lease of life, winning three of his last four, and a ride of 17lb could still be manageable; unproven over this trip but in the form of his life and will be popular with Oisin Murphy booked. |

Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time Flat winner won a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March 2023 (2m, good to yielding) but generally moderate form over hurdles since then; the same can be said of his recent outing on the level at Leopardstown last month. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 0y |
9st 2lb |
Won over hurdles and on the Flat (12.5f) at Limerick last year; ran well over timber at Sligo on his penultimate start in a claimer but heavy defeat back on the Flat at Tramore (2m) on latest; well handicapped but needs to rebound back in trip. |
22/1 |

7th 1 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Was in better form last year when winning at Limerick over hurdles and on the Flat (1m5f, good, rated 73); largely struggled in both codes since, although ran to his mark at Killarney last month when sixth (1m4f, good); took second in a Sligo claiming hurdle last time when well treated; others make more appeal. |

Two decent efforts in ordinary maidens over 1m2f and 1m4f at Dundalk; steps back up in trip after an ordinary effort in an ordinary Killarney maiden last week; should fare better here. |

5th 6 (6) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 30y |

First seven runs were on AW, initially for Andrew Balding; placed in three of five Dundalk outings for this stable, including a 3l third over 1m in March; made little impression at Limerick on turf debut; better when fourth over C&D in May; closely matched with Could Dreamer on that running. |
