Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; second over 1m here in March; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick in June and followed up in a Ballinrobe handicap; held since, but back on a fair mark. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade when winning a claimer at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap; two fair runs at the Galway festival; moderate display at Tramore; cheekpieces on now. |

Three wins in Britain in 2023 at up to 1m; regressive in 2024 and 2025 seasons; took advantage of a drop in grade and forceful tactics when winning a claimer over this trip at Limerick and backed that up in a Ballinrobe handicap off 72 (1m2f, yielding); not too bad in two runs at the Galway festival; good claimer takes off weight and this track may suit. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
10st 2lb |
Found out off higher marks since his Leopardstown win (1m1f, soft; in this new headgear combination) but has continued to run well, from 1m1f to 1m3f; consistent and rates a solid contender. |
6/1 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 184y |
10st 3lb |
Solid and consistent, but has plenty of weight; 1m1f Leopardstown win came on soft, but his latest third back there over 1m2f was on good and he ran his race; has his chance, but Keane's preference for stablemate wouldn't encourage support. |

AW winner surprised his trainer when handling soft ground here last month, beating Monday's ready Killarney winner Molto Amichi over 1m1f in first-time cheekpieces; winner got first run on him at Ballinrobe over almost this far, where he kept on well along with third-home Marmeladova. |

Both wins (maiden/handicap) were over slightly longer distances but she kept on for a close fifth over this far at Leopardstown two weeks ago; in the mix. |

Added to her Ballinrobe maiden win when landing a 1m2f handicap here last month off 75; both runs since have been disappointing however, getting worked up beforehand at the Curragh and never landing a blow upped to 1m4f at Tramore five days ago; back down in trip here. |

Sole win (13 races) was in a soft-ground maiden at Roscommon last October; mixed form in handicaps, respectable fourth of ten at Ballinrobe (9.7f, yielding; stays 1m4f) in June last time but others look more solid. |

Third reserve; has only ever won here, but not easy to catch right and probably wants further these days. |

Three wins have come at Leopardstown up to 1m1f; this trip is likely to stretch him. |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
All three wins have come at Leopardstown, including last time over 1m1f (good) when a comfortable victor after being allowed to dictate the pace; 5lb rise for that seems fair enough and he's in good form but must win away from his preferred track. |

9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe in May; strong-finishing fourth over 7f at Naas last month prefaced a recent 1m2f win in an apprentice contest at Down Royal, when he had the returning Areana back in third; same rider can claim 7lb this time. |

9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe (beating Hexagonal over 9.5f, good) in May and much the best effort since on latest when strong-finishing fourth over 7f at Naas last month; trip could stretch him, but contender if seeing it out. |

Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good) in May, quickening well to score by 2.5l; not in the same form the last twice and drop in trip needs to spark a bounce-back. |

Won over C&D at this meeting in 2024 off 15lb higher; that win came on yielding and his last win came on heavy so while well handicapped, could probably do with a drop of rain. |

Five wins for Joe Murphy, latest of them over 1m1f at Tipperary in October; big prices and has shown little in four starts for this yard; mark tumbling, but prefers it soft and will be of more interest when the rain returns. |

Five-time winner for Joe Murphy; yet to find his form for this stable; reduced rating now (4lb below his last winning mark) but needs to show some spark before becoming a betting proposition again. |

Galway festival winner last season when trained by Mick Mulvany; her new trainer aimed her at the same race this year, but she never showed with a chance and was tailed off; that was too bad to be true; worth a market check. |

Won this race last year off 4lb lower for Mick Mulvany; has run well on all three previous visits to this venue and should be sharper for her seasonal reappearance and stable debut at Ballinrobe 40 days ago; visor added to tongue tie; could go well. |
