Has winning form at this trip and is 6lb lower than when winning at Navan (1m2f, good) just over a year ago; however, badly out of sorts in three runs this term and not easy to fancy on recent form. |

Lightly raced and back from over a year off with creditable mid-field run over this trip at Leoprdstown, keeping on steadily from off the pace; first start on AW. |

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. |

Has placed in three of his five runs this season, including when a 0.75l second to Arch Enemy (who has won again since) on latest at Navan (1m2f, good); also has placed form at 1m4f so decent chance he'll stay this far; place shout at least. |

Second over 1m4f here in November, but that's her only time to place in 10 starts here and 1m likely too sharp; another headgear combo tried, but even the champion jockey will struggle to get this one involved |

A newly applied hood appeared to work the oracle at Fairyhouse last time (1m2f, good) when running his best race by far from five starts, beaten just a neck; 4lb rise for that seems a little harsh but chance if the hood continues its magic. |

No sign of winning potential in maidens or on handicap debut at Ballinrobe on latest; dropped 2lb and hood goes on; may need a bit more time and experience. |

Stayed on to good effect to finish fifth at Killarney over 1m and went like the best horse for a long way over 1m5f four days ago at Ballinrobe before being left behind by 50-1 shot; should go well dropped slightly in trip for in-form stable. |

Maiden is 0-5 on turf but her last run at Killarney was encouraging (stayed on well over 1m for a 5l fifth); small yard has been in sensational form and it would be no surprise to see this filly run a big race upped markedly in trip; 1lb wrong but rider's claim negates that. |

Took a big step forward from her stable debut when beating Nibras Rainbow by 3.5l at Leopardstown in June (1m1f, good to firm); ran to the same level in a similar contest last time when 1l third to Nibras Rainbow off 10lb higher; shortlisted. |

3rd 14 (11) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |

Promise in a couple of AW runs for John O'Donoghue; weaker form in five runs on turf for that yard; stepped up from stable debut when beating Nibras Rainbow over C&D three weeks ago, justifying market confidence; reportedly in foal to Phoenix Of Spain; may continue to prosper. |

AW winner has been second over around 1m4f on turf last twice; just in front of Young Churchill at Limerick last time; softening ground might be a concern, as he's not proven on it. |
