10th Oct 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
A pretty useful maiden after six races, good fourth of 14 to Munsif from off the pace in handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to soft) on latest; this is a better race and he needs to find extra. |

Two minor honours on softer than good to start career; second of six on handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last month is his best form and he faded into sixth of 13 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) ten days later; lightly raced, with something to prove. |

Flat winner; 0-4 over hurdles and rated 103; 1.25l second in Market Rasen maiden hurdle 23 days ago (20.5f, good); cheekpieces go on but surely out of depth in this company; due to run 5.40 here on Monday. |

11st 7lb |
Sole win in eight Flat starts came last time out in 1m4f Roscommon handicap 19 days ago, staying on to beat subsequent winner Obscenity by 2.75l; had two prior hurdle runs at backend of last year and didn't show a huge aptitude but is in better form now and has been gelded; rated 80 on the Flat and could go well. |

Did just about enough to land a Dundalk maiden in January and did similar when following up in a 1m2f handicap at Leopardstown; a little bit more exposed on her two subsequent handicap efforts under a small penalty, but has the ability to get involved here. |

10st 13lb |
Had flashes of good form under both codes for previous yard, whom she left after finishing tailed off in this 12 months ago (went off too fast); lurks on a reasonable mark on just her second run for Joseph O'Brien; finished last in the first (1m maiden) but that was after a long break so could strip fitter now. |

Dual-purpose prominent racer who contested the 2024 Triumph Hurdle; regressive form on the Flat last summer and was last seen tailed off over hurdles at the Galway festival; subsequently sold for 7,000euros; market can guide on first run for top yard after a layoff. |

Loves Dundalk and won three in a row there in the spring (10.5f/1m4f); sole turf win came here last summer over 1m1f (off 60) and will be sharper for Roscommon run after nearly three months off; AW mark of 87; turf mark of 78 reflects his good AW form earlier in the year, rather than his actual achievements on grass. |

Five-time winner (two on turf) effective at 1m-1m4f; had been running well on the AW this year before a poor effort on testing ground at the Curragh when last seen in April; this ground more suitable and has gone well fresh, but yet to win off this high a mark. |

Five-time winner, two on turf, both over a mile on good; in good form on the AW lately, won 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; 0.75l second to Unterberg 14 days ago on AW; needs a good pace to aim at and trip a bit sharp; soft ground would be a concern. |

Fair 1m winner in 2024 for Marco Botti; took a big step back in the right direction for his current yard with sixth of 20 in 1m handicap at the Curragh nine days ago, staying on well having been set a lot to do; very much one to consider. |
