21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 6lb |
Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
9/1 |

7th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 100y |
11st 0lb |
Career wins number five and six last month when prevailing narrowly at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); has another 6lb rise to contend with but he's running well, unlike some in here. |

Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 7lb |
Similar RPRs in mid 80s in three maiden hurdles last year at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; three decent runs on the Flat since joining this yard so won't lack for fitness in first handicap hurdle; market check advised. |
14/1 |

3rd 8 (5) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m5f (good) Leopardstown handicap off basement mark of 40 on final start for Mags Mullins in May; solid first two runs for this yard; 5l third of 16 at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) and denied by short head at Down Royal (1m5f, good) three days ago; big chance off 2lb lower. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Consistent on AW at three, winning over 1m4f; had some good hurdling form, without winning, in 2024; just one run over flights last year; ran well in a charity race at the Curragh on Derby weekend; has to enter calculations in such a weak contest. |

Flat winner on AW placed on three of six attempts hurdling, including 2m1f maiden here last summer; absent since never featuring in Leopardstown handicap at Christmas but has run well fresh and has the form to feature. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 161y |
11st 4lb |
Modest Flat winner is 0-6 hurdling although improvement of late, finishing a decent fourth of 20 in 2m1f Galway handicap and chased home a ready winner in 7-runner 2m2f Downpatrick mares' maiden, both on good ground; place prospects again. |

2nd 3 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Modest Flat winner is 0-5 hurdling although creditable effort on latest when decent fourth of 20 in 2m1f Galway handicap last month (good); place claims back in maiden company. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |

Winner on the Flat and very lightly raced over hurdles by comparison; good run in a 1m handicap at Leopardstown in April, but little in her profile marks her out as a potential winner of this. |

15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
10st 2lb |
Won over C&D in March and runs off the same mark here; however, soundly beaten on last three starts on turf so return to the AW needs to revive. |
10/1 |

5th 4 (6) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

AW winner over 10.5f in March and her higher-grade third at Naas was a good effort; 1m4f has seemed a bridge too far, though, and long way behind Masego over that trip at Bellewstown; excuse for latest run (1m2f) at Navan. |

Placed at two and went close to making all in 1m4f Leopardstown handicap last year, only beaten half-a-length; left Natalia Lupini after; tailed off on stable debut last month. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |
10st 0lb |
Showed ability in maidens and ran a reasonable race when fourth at Cork (1m4f, soft) last year; backed that up when nearly making all at Leopardstown next time, beaten 0.25l into third; off 397 days and debuts for new trainer. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Maiden in all spheres was pulled-up over hurdles at Cork last time and cheekpieces are added; not a lot of appeal. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in 1m4f handicap at Doncaster at three for Charlie Johnston; lightly raced for this yard, last of 7 on last month's comeback run on the Flat; reverts to hurdles for handicap debut having had three runs in 4yo maidens last year; market best guide. |

Runner-up in soft-ground 1m4f handicap at Doncaster at three for Charlie Johnston; lightly raced for this yard; okay run over hurdles last year; out the back in 1m2f Roscommon handicap when last seen. |
