12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
9st 0lb |
Progressive this season, winning at Navan off 65 and at this venue off 78; failing to maintain his form when well fancied to complete in a premier handicap at the Curragh contested by several of these rivals; that was too bad to be true, unwise to discount. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 2lb |
In fine fettle this season, winning at Navan (1m2f, gd-yld) off 65 and on latest at Gowran off 78 (1m4f, yielding); hiked up another 9lb and moves up in grade now; unproven on properly fast ground, but this well-bred sort should go well if he acts on it. |

In fine form this season; third on seasonal return at Bellewstown (11.5f, soft); won by 5.5l at Navan (1m2f, gd-yld); hiked up 12lb but again ran well when a 2.75l runner up at Roscommon latest (1m4f, yielding) when not getting the clearest of runs; in the mix again off 1lb higher. |

Below best at Dundalk last time but ran a solid race when runner up at Down Royal (1m5f, good) on her penultimate start; heavy defeat in this last year off 1lb higher and remains 5lb above last turf win. |

Won a 1m4f maiden at Bellewstown last August on second start; first two runs this season were solid, but was poor at Ballinrobe last time; only dropped 1lb and needs more, but cheekpieces might help. |
7/2 |

6th 4 (4) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |

Bellewstown maiden winner (good) at just short of this trip last year; left modest seasonal return behind with promising 4.5l third of 16 on handicap debut at Gowran (1m4f, yielding); frame claims again off the same mark here. |
7/2 |

Bellewstown maiden winner on second start last August (12.5f, good); modest effort on seasonal return in six-runner Killarney race; the form of that Bellewstown race has worked out and she could go well on handicap debut; preferred by Foley. |

The ground was good to yielding when winning over Galway's extended 1m in July; could have run better at Dundalk as she has form there, but wouldn't put a line through her. |

Boasts C&D form figures of 211; roared back to form with a win over 8.5f (yld-sft) at the Galway festival on latest; 7lb rise makes things tougher and this is harder but has to be respected given her fine record at this venue. |

Has shown improved form on the Flat lately, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe and Tramore before runner-up at the latter track; now rated 81; was a 2m maiden hurdle winner at Thurles last November; can be competitive. |

Up a total of 13lb for back-to-back wins at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) and over C&D (good) when 2.75l ahead of Marmeladova (that rival 3lb better off now); finished last at Gowran last time (1m5f, good to firm), which is not fully explained by her new rating; can do better back here. |

Won a Goodwood maiden (1m2f, good to firm) on debut for the Gosdens; creditable efforts on turf and AW following that; purchased for 20,000gns in December; decent sixth of 16 at Gowran (1m4f, yielding) on seasonal return when behind the stable first string; Foley rides now in a first-time hood trying this trip for the first time. |

Much improved this year, recording wins at Navan, Ballinrobe and over just shy of this trip at Limerick in June; held off career-high marks last twice, trip possibly too far at Killarney and in Galway premier handicap; drops back in grade so respected, but this ground may be on the quick side. |

In fine form on turf and on the AW in 2026; has won three of last five starts, most recently on penultimate start at Limerick (12.5f, soft) off 4lb lower; 2m1f may have stretched at Killarney latest and drops back in trip now; place shout. |

Dual-purpose sort is 1-10 on Flat turf; won on the AW at Dundalk (1m4f) off 3lb lower in January and ran well at that venue following that; well beaten back on turf at Gowran 11 days ago (1m4f, yielding); suspicion he's not as effective on this surface. |

Zarak gelding didn't show much when slowly away on debut at Galway but left that behind when beaten a neck on his second start at Navan (1m2f, good); different ground to contend with here but he may be able to make that experience count in the first-time tongue tie. |

Second in a 1m2f Flat maiden at Ripon last year when trained by owner's son; well beaten in three Flat starts for current yard, but there was promise in his fourth of 15 on hurdling bow at Ballinrobe last time (2m2f, good); in the mix if building on that. |
