10st 3lb |
Third runner for yard; won a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe (9.5f, good to yielding) in July before following up on debut for this yard in Gowran handicap (9.5f, good to firm); two fair efforts since but she might get tapped for toe over this trip. |

1st Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe; won a 0-60 handicap here on debut for Ado McGuinness; longer trip may have stretched her stamina at Roscommon two weeks ago. |

Ran respectably in a couple of handicaps earlier this season; several less encouraging displays before winning a claimer for Paul Flynn at Ballinrobe last month; raised 6lb for winning a 0-60 handicap at Gowran last week on debut for Ado McGuinness; had a fairly hard race, but has a strong chance if fully recovered. |

10st 0lb |
Hat-trick of C&D wins the winter before last, cuminating in a victory off 84 in February of last year; mark has declined steadily since, but some creditable turf runs this summer make him of interest on first run in this grade on Polytrack. |

Four-time AW winner and 1-22 on turf; second of 16 at Gowran last time (good to firm; has form on slower) and didn't quite see out the extended 1m1f; considered. |

10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Consistent on the AW last winter, landing 10.5f handicap; returned to turf after summer break with three solid runs, a beaten favourite at Navan eight days ago; entitled to respect on first try over 6f, but Keane jumps ship to ride Spirit Of Eagles. |
6/1 |

5th 8 (12) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 20y |
9st 7lb |
Consistent on the AW over the winter, landing handicap over 10.5f; returned to turf after summer break with two solid runs last month, hanging right and not clear run when third at Gowran (9.5f) and only faded late when 3l fifth of 17 over 1m at Cork; Colin Keane takes over from 5lb claimer here. |
11/2 |

14th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Consistent on the AW over the winter and spring, landing handicap over 10.5f in January; whether he's as effective on turf is questionable given he hasn't troubled the judge in eight starts on it; beaten 3l when third of 16 over 9.5f at Gowran on Wednesday. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 10y |
8st 9lb |
One of the more obvious contenders based on a set of form figures that shows consistency, third twice at Ballinrobe, fourth twice at Gowran; hampered when challenging last time; stable has had a quiet campaign but enjoyed a change of fortune with a Naas win last month; may get her turn now. |

Improved efforts the last twice; beaten 4.5l in 9.5f claimer at Ballinrobe and beaten the same distance in a 9.5f handicap at Gowran on latest; place chance if he stays this longer trip. |
14/1 |
|
6th 12 (2) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |

Second in a claimer at Ballinrobe in June; this opposition is more taxing, and he needs to step up on previous handicap form. |

Second runner for Gerry Keane; maiden has been performing reasonably well over longer trips this summer; fair fourth over just slightly farther at Bellewstown six days ago; new headgear. |
12/1 |

4th 10 (4) |
25th Aug 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 195y |

Ran with credit in a couple of Fairyhouse handicaps and didn't quite get home over 1m1f at Gowran last time; dropping back to a sharp 1m looks well worthwhile. |
8/1 |

7th 13 (19) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |

Mild promise at Dundalk and has run with some credit in two Fairyhouse handicaps; Colin Keane takes the ride for the first time, a tongue-tie is added to the cheekpieces worn last time. |

9st 4lb |
Back to form at Navan on penultimate (1m, good) and another good run over 7f at Laytown last week when a 0.5l second of 10; mark left unchanged and should give another good account upped slightly in trip with rider taking off 5lb. |
9/2 |

2nd 4 (3) |
10th Sep 2026 Standard 0m 7f 0y |

Local runner whose sole success came in a 7f maiden here last year; best run since a close third at Navan on latest and eased 1lb for that; Colin Keane an eyecatching booking; big run on the cards. |

9st 3lb |
Ended 25-race Irish career with two respectable 9.5f runs at Gowran this summer (good/good to firm) but his only win was gained on Polytrack and conditions may not be in his favour on this stable debut. |
10/1 |

9th 18 (20) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 100y |

First reserve; Made a breakthrough with AW win in January; followed that with two moderate runs at Dundalk and two poor runs over hurdles; fair fifth over C&D on latest; first reserve. |

5th 4 (11) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 110y |
9st 11lb |
Made a flying start to his career with this yard when successful over 1m on stable debut on AW off 51 in January in a first-time hood; well below that level in two subsequent runs at Dundalk, and his two recent efforts over hurdles were not amazing either. |

First reserve; won a division of this in 2024 off 1lb higher; no joy since then and recent runs have not suggested a return to winning ways is imminent. |

5th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 10y |

Ran well when a 5.5l third over C&D (good) on handicap debut last May and 9lb lower now; off since 10l defeat at Dundalk in January; a repeat of that C&D run last season would give him a squeak. |

A 60,000euros breeze-up purchase; ran only once at two for Natalia Lupini; some merit in his midfield run over 1m at the Curragh in October; has been gelded and should be more mature now; could make a useful recruit for Eoin Griffin. |

Maiden after 14 starts; one of his better runs last year when second over 7f at this venue; heavily supported in the betting when sixth of 14 at Roscommon (7f, yielding) on yard debut last month; this trip and ground may suit better. |
