Holding his form generally well since an early-season win at Cork, apart from a below-par run at Ballinrobe last month; back to form with a solid effort in finishing fourth of 17 at Galway only eight days later. |

Four-time winner; scored on seasonal return at Cork off 8lb lower; chased home Bay Of Dreams off 2lb lower at Bellewstown on penultimate; never landed a blow behind Lady Arwen at Ballinrobe on latest; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

Started the season with victory in a 1m handicap at Cork and has kept his form well since without winning; close second over that trip at Bellewstown last time saw him go up another 2lb; new headgear combination tried here and unlikely to be far away; draw is the main negative |

Far better known for finishing second or third than winning; runner-up in a handicap here in May and a close third at Roscommon last month; can be thereabouts again; fourth in this race last year. |

3rd 12 (5) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |

Plenty of ability but very hard to win with; sole Irish success came at the Curragh in April 2024; later that year, twice second to Merisi Diamond over C&D; again ran well here on seasonal debut and when second at Listowel later in May; possibly needed the run here last time. |

9st 1lb |
Gained reward for consistency when landing 1m handicaps at Killarney and Leopardstown in July; raised a total of 15lb for those two wins and, despite a 3lb drop, might just be on the wrong side of the handicapper for now. |

Ordinary form in turf maidens; improved for switch to AW; won on handicap debut over 7f at Dundalk in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth of 23 at the Curragh in March (soft to heavy); fair fifth of 21 over 6f at the same venue last time (soft); should appreciate this longer trip and better ground. |

Ordinary form in turf maidens but improved for switch to AW and won on handicap debut over 7f in February off 63; doing his best work at the finish when a 7l fourth here last time (7f, soft to heavy); not certain a drop to 6f is what he wants. |

Progressive in the first half of last year for George Boughey before being sold for 21,000gns in the autumn; has struggled in Ireland this year; sent off odds-on when third of five at Brighton on latest in first-time visor; needs to pull out more but respected in this company. |

Maiden below best on turf recently but has hit the frame in three of his four previous runs at this venue; beaten 0.5l off 14lb higher over C&D in February so well handicapped and rider takes off a further 7lb; drops in grade and could be dangerous. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 190y |

Ordinary form in maidens at 6f-9f last autumn; no impact in first two handicaps at the Curragh (8f, heavy) and Roscommon (7.5f, gd-yld); eased 4lb and drops in grade but hard to fancy on form. |

Won 5f heat at Navan for the second time earlier this month, foiling a gamble on the runner-up; previously a close third to Clomacash over this trip; touched off over 7f here a year ago, and will go forward from low draw, but 8lb rise might stop her. |

A bit in-and-out this season but won this in 2024 off 3lb higher and ran a massive race to finish a close third in a big field at the Curragh (6f, good) two weeks ago; big chance if repeating that off the same mark. |
