31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Won off 5lb lower here in May (2m3f, good to yielding); bounced back from two below-par efforts to finish a 3.75l third at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); return to this venue and application of a tongue tie may get a bit more from him. |

Gained his second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Downpatrick handicap in May; withdrawn twice on good ground before allowed to take his chance at Galway last week but never counted on similar ground when midfield over 2m; back up in trip here, any easing in the ground would help his chances. |

Went close in Downpatrick handicap for previous yard; after four months off, well held in Listowel handicap on stable debut. |

Never looked at ease at Tramore last time but much better judged on his victory in a competitive 2m2f handicap chase here at the festival; likely to fare much better, although the trip is a small question |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences for the first time at the eighth attempt at the Galway festival (2m2f, good); 4lb penalty for that could prove pivotal and his overall form doesn't suggest that a follow-up is guaranteed; trainer won this race last year though. |

Two wins over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell; 0-7 over fences and has a tendency to jump left at times; ground conditions will suit but soundly beaten over hurdles on latest and others make more appeal. |

11st 8lb |
Won over hurdles at Killarney (20.5f, good) in July when seeing off Jupiter Du Gite by a nose before creditable midfield finish in valuable Galway festival handicap; never a factor on the Flat 15 days ago; handicapper may be in control for now. |

Downpatrick specialist, two wins and three places from eight visits; trounced Whispering Willow in a chase there last time, but might not uphold form here; unconvincing form at tracks other than Downpatrick and Tramore; first time at this venue; on the plus side, Caragh Monaghan has twice finished second on her. |

Best run over hurdles when third in a Leopardstown handicap in testing ground in March; however, has been well below that level twice since and has to bounce back. |

Went closest in a higher grade at Leopardstown in March (2m3f, soft to heavy); didn't repeat that next time here (2m, soft) and pulled up at Kilbeggan last month; needs to give his best. |

Went closest when third in a Leopardstown handicap over 2m2f last month on heavy; tame Wexford effort since back at 2m, so needs to bounce back, but this is a lower grade; never raced on ground better than yielding. |

Modest on the Flat; well beaten on handicap debut over hurdles in May but had some useful juvenile form and wouldn't be without hope should this new headgear combination trigger a return to that level. |

Modest Flat maiden but has run some fine races in defeat in juvenile hurdles against some smart rivals; not as good in a Grade 3 last time with cheekpieces on; this is easier so is one to consider. |

11st 7lb |
Won for the first time in three years, turning the tables on Follow Charlie (on revised terms) over 2m4f here (good) over a fortnight ago; a subsequent 5lb rise should bring that pair even closer together, with this shorter trip perhaps a slightly better fit for Follow Charlie. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to add to her juvenile hurdle win in 2023 but quite lightly raced in the meantime and was seemingly aided by first-time cheekpieces when second to Follow Charlie over C&D (good) last month; respected. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Sole win came in a juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (2m1f) in September 2023; runner-up over 2m here (handicap debut) in July 2024, but all downhill since; soundly beaten when last seen three months ago; needs the added cheekpieces to spark a major revival; focus elsewhere. |
