19th May 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 4lb |
2-7 on turf; has returned in fine form this season; close third at Naas (5f, soft); went two places better at Bellewstown (5f, soft) on latest; raised 7lb and this is harder but the forecast rain is a big plus for him; dangerous to dismiss. |

8st 12lb |
Made all for Navan nursery win (5f, soft) last September; good third there next time from 6lb higher; led most of the way when 0.75l third at Naas (5f, soft) on return last month; good chance in receipt of 3yo allowance with the help of rider's 5lb claim. |

Specialist at this distance, seven-time winner, the latest at Dundalk in May; has been kept busy since then; third at the Curragh on his most recent turf outing, a neck in front of the progressive Prairie Girl |

Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip. |

Four-time winner (three at this trip) on good ground; poor form shown in her last three outings but drops into this lower grade for the first time since April 2025, and that resulted in a victory, so don't rule her out. |

Four wins have all been on fast tracks, including last year at Bellewstown (twice) and Down Royal over 5f; standout run this term at former venue when third (5f, soft); never counted in two most recent runs at Navan over 6f; opposable. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
10st 0lb |
Solid 3yo sprinter wasn't hit hard for handicap wins earlier in the season at Naas and the Curragh; after a break raced on unfavoured near side at former venue early this month when never counting; more expected of here, although not sure this wide draw is ideal. |

Solid 3yo sprinter hasn't been hit hard for handicap wins over C&D in April and over 5f at the Curragh in June; back from a two-month spell, and perhaps he'll just come on for this run. |

Second runner for yard; four AW wins; 1-16 on turf; kept very busy on AW in recent months, on latest collared close home when runner-up over 7f off current mark; 7lb claimer takes over from Colin Keane; one to consider. |
4/1 |

Four AW wins up to an extended 1m1f, twice over C&D including in January off 74; kept busy since over various trips, most recently best work at finish after a slow start (stalls slow to open) when beaten 1.5l over 6f; return to 7f to suit and okay mark so one to consider. |

Possibly a bit high in the ratings now after a 6f Curragh win on his penultimate start; finished behind Bold Optimist and Cashel Blue in a large-field 6f event at the Curragh 11 days ago. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Regained the winning thread over C&D two weeks ago when wearing this headgear combination for the first time; has gone up 6lb but rider's 7lb claim negates that; should give another good account. |

AW winner got off the mark on turf at Naas this time last year (6f, good to yielding) off 5lb lower; ran his best race this term when a 2l third of ten back at Naas last time (6f, good); new headgear combination tried; hasn't run too badly at this track in the past. |

Irish wins came on turf and his record on Polytrack at Dundalk wasn't great; poor this spring and goes without the usual blinkers for his new yard; would want to see support before factoring him in. |

Won a Cork maiden over this trip for her former yard last summer in first-time blinkers; has been well below that level on soft ground since but should do better on this drying surface; blinkers left off; not ruled out. |

Cork maiden (5f, good) winner who was tailed off last over C&D on final start for Danny Murphy in October; never a factor over further trips since joining this yard; can't fancy unless market speaks; blinkers go back on. |
