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. |

30th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 3y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 4yo; found one too good when favourite for last month's stable debut here (7f) but was evidently suited by combination of drop back to 6f and refitted blinkers when scoring at Windsor (also good to firm) 17 days ago; 4lb higher now but capable 7lb claimer Kyle McHugh is booked; can cope if the ground softens; good chance. |

Best run yet for this yard a 1.25l fifth of 13 over 6f at Naas when last sighted in May; 2lb lower now and has won twice over C&D but all three career wins on soft and heavy ground; rain would boost claims. |

Three-time winner on turf at 6f-6.5f with all three victories coming on soft or heavy ground; has gone well on good ground, however, including when beaten a neck in this race last year off 11lb higher; below best latest but may have needed that and he could go well at a price. |

Modest Flat maiden but has shown a bit more hurdling, notably staying on fourth in 2m1f Bellewstown novice early this month (good), raced handier at Sligo latest but didn't seem to get home when fourth (4.5l off third-placed Bobby Kirova) in 2m2f maiden; more needed. |

He has gone the wrong way on turf in Ireland this season but he did show clear promise on the AW at Dundalk early in the year, including finishing first past the post in a 6f maiden in February (disqualified on a technicality); he has joined a stable who have enjoyed considerable success with similar types and he's a fascinating contender, for all his draw could have been kinder. |
