10st 2lb |
Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown and when third over 1m here 11 days ago, a good effort in the circumstances; Billy Lee has a good record on her. |

Six-time winner, including in July at Ballinrobe and when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival despite a slow start; again compromised chance with slow start at Punchestown on latest, so comes with a health warning. |

Six-time winner, including twice in July; defied a 7lb rise for a Ballinrobe success when beating 16 rivals at the Galway festival; overcame a high draw, and the loss of several lengths at the start; holding her form well judged on last week's Galway second. |

Plenty of good runs in defeat (0-16), including three seconds; on a competitive mark and latest fifth at Punchestown was another fair effort. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |

Maiden has run very well in defeat more than once this season; runner up at Gowran (1m, soft) in April and Fairyhouse (1m2f, good) in June; close third back at Gowran (1m, yielding) after a break on latest; thereabouts again off 1lb lower. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 0m 7f 0y |

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. |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice in Ireland, both wins gained this summer over a bit further; however, only seventh of nine on yard debut here (1m2f) and not overly appealing on the back of that. |
20/1 |

4th 8 (12) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |

Third runner for yard; won a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) in July before following up on debut for this yard in Gowran handicap (9.5f, good to firm); two fair efforts since but she might get tapped for toe over this trip. |

Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe; won a 0-60 handicap here on debut for Ado McGuinness; longer trip may have stretched her stamina at Roscommon two weeks ago. |

9st 11lb |
Won Cork handicap (7f, soft) last September; failed to sustain that progress on her last three starts in 2025; improved from her seasonal debut when fifth at Gowran; not one of the more obvious contenders after unplaced Cork run. |

9th 5 (21) |
19th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 90y |

Won 7f handicap here last September (soft); failed to sustain progress afterwards but definite promise on last month's seasonal return at Gowran when never nearer fifth of 16 on similar ground; poor on only previous attempt at this trip but better ground could enable her to see it out. |

9st 7lb |
No wins from 21 races; sent off the 9-2 favourite at Gowran for stable debut under today's rider but weakened inside the final furlong to finish sixth of 16; perhaps capable of more with that run under his belt considering his strength in the market that day. |

3rd May 2026 Good 0m 6f 61y |

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. |

C&D winner has shaped as though turn was near the last twice; beaten a head by Movin And Groovin over C&D on penultimate off 2lb lower and beaten 1.25l when second of 18 at Naas (1m, good) on latest; should be thereabouts again. |

Third-place finish at Gowran was a rare positive recent effort (1m, yielding) on penultimate; didn't build on that in a similar contest there last time; three-time turf winner is well handicapped on his best form and cheekpieces go on now to try and recapture it. |

Five career wins, the last two coming at Listowel; has plenty to find with Pete's Dream and Draoicht on running at Killarney; however, his recent Gowran second suggests he could go close; lack of consistency is a worry; drawn high too, but rider is capable of coping with that potential negative. |
