Scored off 2lb lower at Navan (6f, good) in July last year and went close over 7f (heavy) here in October behind Ribee; never involved on seasonal return at Naas in May (6f, good) and off since; capable off this mark so check the market. |

9st 5lb |
Two-time AW winner is just 1-29 on turf but she ran a good race at the Curragh (1m, good) on her penultimate start (beaten 2l, denied clear run); not as good upped to 1m2f latest but drops back in trip now and could go well off 1lb lower than she was at the Curragh. |

Gained her second AW win off 72 in February, but just 1-28 on turf; good fourth of 20 over 1m at the Curragh last time; best form over 7f/1m, and just one inconclusive run over this trip here last year; yet to finish in the first three in five visits to this venue. |

Not one of her better efforts at the Curragh last time; hard to win with; best run this season when second in a six-runner contest; others preferred. |

Sole win came over C&D last year off 4lb lower; several decent efforts in defeat since including at Limerick last time though looked a bit awkward under pressure then; still, unlikely to be far away. |

A winner of ten races on AW and turf at 7f-1m; hasn't won on grass since August 2022 but did go close over 1m here in April off 4lb lower; has never won over this far a trip. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y |

Heavily-raced gelding; gained a tenth career win at Dundalk in April and seems to be holding his form well; 3l second at the Curragh and a fair fifth at Bellewstown 13 days ago; 0-11 record at this venue is a negative, placed three times. |

0-12 but has shown enough to suggest he can win races; should step forward from latest run after a break here over 1m, but hasn't got the kindest of draws. |

Maiden ran well in a couple of handicaps last year off higher marks; usual blinkers left off for seasonal return; good draw and a contender if forward enough on seasonal return. |

Ran respectably in three decent maidens over a mile last year; best run when beaten 3.5l into fifth by Ice Dancer on heavy at Gowran; off 301 days and opening mark looks fair. |

11th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 4f 65y |
9st 7lb |
Mildly promising runs in two maidens and a Curragh handicap in the spring (7f/1m); maybe soft ground was the reason she bombed over 1m1f at Leopardstown last month; tongue-tie now fitted and stamina to prove over this far. |
12/1 |

10th 13 (9) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |

Failed to threaten in three maidens at 7f-1m but did catch the eye making late gains at Limerick on third start (7f, yielding); made no impact on 7f handicap debut at the Curragh last month; up in trip. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 42y |
10st 2lb |
Took a long time to win a race; scored twice last season and added another in first-time cheekpieces last time, overcoming a slow start to score over 1m at Naas; reasonably effective over 7f, up 6lb and has plenty of weight here, though rider's 3lb claim will help a little. |
11/2 |

1st 6 (3) |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Two wins to his name; best effort in four runs this year when close third at Limerick (7f, yielding) in May; slow break costly at that track a day later; not beaten far in fifth at Bellewstown early this month; first time with cheekpieces. |

Knocking on the door, runner-up in three of last four starts; however, all three of those runs came on rain-softened ground and concerning that her three previous runs on good ground have resulted in heavy defeats. |

Winner this year over shorter at Dundalk and Fairyhouse and better again over 1m1f at Leopardstown six days ago when beaten a neck off this mark in 22-runner contest, having had every chance; not at best on only previous attempt at this longer trip so bit to prove. |
