8st 7lb |
Most consistent sprinter, scoring over C&D earlier in season and battled on well to land Rockingham Handicap (5f) in June; subsequently third of 20 to Sondad in Scurry over further and good third to Bear On The Run over C&D latest; model of consistency but could be vulnerable off likely strong pace and 4lb out of handicap. |

3rd 5 (8) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y |
8st 12lb |
Succession of good runs over various sprint trips here this year; won the Rockingham in June and good second over that 5f distance last time; previously, had four of these behind when third in the Scurry over an extended 6f, which was a bit too far. |
11/2 |

9th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |

Has been in the form of his life this season; won over 6f here on seasonal return and bagged another victory in a C&D premier handicap in June despite being 3lb out of the weights; didn't quite see out the 6.5f trip of the Scurry handicap here last month, but it was still a blinding run to finish third; went too quick at Cork last time; definite chance. |

Has been in career-best form this season, winning back-to-back handicaps over 5f here and at Down Royal before just failing in Rockingham Handicap at the Curragh; holding her form well but tougher test now back in Listed company. |

Has been in career-best form this season, winning back-to-back handicaps over 5f at Cork (good) and Down Royal (soft) before just failing to catch Genesis in the Rockingham Handicap over C&D in June; returned to handicap company at Cork last time when a creditable fifth (1.75l behind the winner Ipanema Queen); claimer is yet to win from 15 starts. |

Best form has been on the AW but still ran sixth of 24 in a seriously competitive 6f handicap here a fortnight ago; dropping back to 5f won't hurt. |

Better AW performer, gaining fifth win last month at Dundalk over this trip; some good turf efforts in defeat earlier in season, notably Rockingham staying on third at this venue (5f); runs off 6lb lower turf mark here and has to be respected. |

Five wins include twice over C&D and valuable Lingfield handicap in the spring; contesting premier turf handicaps of late, notably close third in Rockingham (Curragh), not clear run in the Ahonoora at Galway last time (7f); back to optimum trip now and one to consider. |

Several good runs in a busy campaign; 3lb out of the weights but a repeat of his close fourth in a premier handicap here in June wouldn't see him far away; reportedly pulled a front shoe when below par last time. |

No win since March last year; a couple of respectable efforts this year and has been dropped 5lb since finishing fourth in a 6f Navan handicap last month; would prefer more of an ease, but interesting to see how she gets on here. |

|
4th 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at the Curragh and all four runs this term have been at same track, notably fine fourth of 22 in premier handicap in May; 2lb wrong and raced on unfavoured far side in Scurry Handicap latest; rider's 7lb claim a positive so don't rule out. |

12th 18 (7) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |

Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; this season's form linked to Genesis and Headmaster puts her in the mix, although several others would seem to have marginally stronger claims. |

12th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 0m 5f 143y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won here (5f, good to firm) in June; ran two fine races at Goodwood's Glorious meeting and again when third behind Air Force One at York last month (travelled best); soft ground wouldn't have been ideal when second of six at Goodwood two weeks ago; drying conditions would be in his favour and he has the ability to get involved. |
9/1 |

2nd 3 (4) |
29th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Has done himself proud since Doncaster win in June, finishing close up over 5f at the big meeting here and again in the Stewards' Cup (6f) four days later; another smart effort when third of 21 at York next time but well held on good to soft there since and deteriorating ground would be a worry. |

Beat Keke by 3l in a 6f premier handicap here last year and he's back in good form, denying Namiid with the pair clear last time at Navan (5f, good); went up 8lb for that, but he can deal with this mark. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |

Curragh winner last year (6f, good) is now 3lb lower and he almost got back to winning ways at the Curragh (6f, good) two weeks ago, beaten just 0.75l into second of 10; has gone well here before, but over 6f, so the drop back to 5f is a query and wouldn't want to see much rain. |

Hasn't won for ages but continues to run well and had some of these behind when second in a Cork Listed race last month (5f, yielding); the Navan run can be dismissed as he was squeezed out at the start. |

A long time since he got his head in front but some excellent runs in defeat this season; touched off in 5f Listed heat at Cork last time and nudged up 3lb; however, not sure this stiffer track plays to his strengths. |

1st 3 (2) |
3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Sole win in 20 starts came in Cork maiden in October 2024, but has been in excellent form this year in sprints, including runner-up efforts in Listed company over C&D (behind Mission Central) and Cork; never involved here 12 days ago, but type to bounce back and enjoys this track; the one to beat. |

10th 3 (6) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Sole win in 19 starts came in Cork maiden but has strung together a series of good efforts in decent sprint company this season, notably seconds in Listed events both here and at Cork, most recently third in conditions event here early in the month; best form at 5f so possibly vulnerable at this longer trip. |
