Both wins have come over this trip at Down Royal on soft, the latest in June; disappointing on faster ground at Bellewstown since but can do better back on easier ground. |

Generally consistent sort gained a second handicap win at Down Royal (7f, soft) two weeks ago off 58; in form but most of best turf form is on softer ground so probably needs rain. |

Sole win came over C&D in 2024 but has been running consistently in defeat on AW; beaten just a neck at Wolverhampton 18 days ago off 2lb lower; may build on that back at scene of his win, but with his 1-25 strike-rate caution is advised. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 208y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Runner-up on consecutive starts in Ireland (7f/7.4f) in June but made a low-key stable debut at Ayr (1m2f, good to firm) last month and still has stamina to prove over this sort of trip. |
8/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Won twice over 7f when trained by George Scott; initially struggled in Ireland but finished second in a couple of handicaps at around 7f last month; beaten favourite over 7f here two week ago, after which he left Maurice Ahern; stamina for 1m2f has to be taken on trust and he goes without headgear on his stable debut. |

Front-running Down Royal third (7f) on soft her best effort; not so good back in trip on better ground last time; back up in trip and soft ground so could improve. |

Modest maiden form; fair effort on handicap debut when sixth over 7f at this venue in first-time blinkers; led for most of the way when third over 7f at Down Royal 12 days ago; good chance now for in-form stable |

Modest maiden form on soft ground; okay run at Fairyhouse on handicap debut when sixth (7f, good) in first-time blinkers (retained); improvement needed from the Irish Oaks entrant. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 42y |
10st 2lb |
Belated first win came over an extended 1m at Fairyhouse early last month, with Launch Time in third; fair third off his revised mark in a 1m contest at Killarney, with Draiocht in fourth; concerning that he has been unplaced in four 7f attempts. |

Won off 7lb lower on her last start over 6f (good) at Fairyhouse in June; narrowly denied off 2lb higher back at Fairyhouse in July (7f, good) but below best last twice and forecast rain is a concern. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
8st 11lb |
Followed a good run against a much-improved rival at Down Royal by winning over 6f at Fairyhouse; another good run at the same venue over 7f; lost a shoe at Killarney last time, but has gone up 11lb in total and will need a career best effort here. |
16/1 |

6th 8 (7) |
13th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
8st 11lb |
All three handicap runs on good ground have been fine efforts; runner up at Down Royal (7f), won at Fairyhouse (6f, good) and kept on for a 0.5l second back there over 7f on latest; nudged up another 3lb and this is harder, but the step up to 1m could eke out more improvement, so not discounted. |

Proving consistent in handicaps this year; handled drop back to 5f at Down Royal 17 days ago, coming home well to grab third behind Dandy Land; shaped well that day from a less than ideal position, so capable of turning the tables. |

10st 4lb |
Sole win from 18 starts came at Cork (6f, yielding) last September when trained by Gavin Cromwell; ran a solid race over this trip at Ayr last month; possibly found 5f too sharp at Hamilton on latest; holds claims judged on penultimate effort. |

11th Aug 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Sole win from 17 starts came at Cork (6f, yielding) last September when trained by Gavin Cromwell but she was placed in competitive events last year; ran a solid race at Ayr (6f, good) three days ago and holds claims if backing that up. |
7/1 |

4th 11 (12) |
8th Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Off the mark in 6f handicap at Cork (yielding) last September; has been placed in big-field handicaps at 6f and 7f for this yard in 2026 and although below best when last seen in June she shouldn't be out of this, especially if the ground deteriorates. |

Soundly beaten in maidens; 66-1 for handicap debut when sixth of 14 at Down Royal (7f, good), not far behind Fontaine Khaled and Beau Army; failed to build on that at that venue on soft 13 days ago but could bounce back if the ground is good. |

Third-place finish at Gowran was a rare positive recent effort (1m, yielding) on penultimate; didn't build on that in a similar contest there last time; three-time turf winner is well handicapped on his best form and cheekpieces go on now to try and recapture it. |
