10st 0lb |
Sole success came in a 9.5f Ballinrobe claimer last summer; stays this far and should be sharper for latest modest third at Galway but probably hasn't got much in hand off current mark. |

Won Ballinrobe claimer last summer; finished the season with second over 2m at Dundalk; absent since an early-season Navan run, fair third in a 1m2f event on heavy; longer trip and better ground should help her cause. |

Won twice last term over approx' 1m6f at Sligo and the Curragh; didn't build on solid Navan seasonal bow when well beaten last time at the Curragh; down in grade today and can do better. |

Got off the mark at Navan over 1m5f and good efforts since over just short of this trip at Bellewstown and Killarney; needs a bit more off this mark. |
6/1 |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 7lb |
Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when winning at Navan (1m5f, good) last month and only narrowly failed to follow up at Bellewstown five days later, getting caught on the line over 1m7f after forcing it; up a total of 12lb for those efforts so more needed. |

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. |
4/1 |

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. |

Showed good stamina on soft ground when winning a 23-runner handicap over 1m6f at Navan last October; not a bad run when fifth under a penalty at Galway five days later; rated a modest 60 on the Flat; faces a tough introduction to hurdling. |

No show in two maidens for Sheila Lavery last year; okay run in a Curragh maiden for this yard but took a backward step in a Roscommon handicap next time; took a big step up in trip to this C&D last time when 6.75l behind Teologia; down 3lb. |

Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely. |

Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); has come up short off revised mark since but has C&D form figures of 124 and the win came off 6lb higher than he is here; could go well. |

Much the best of three handicap efforts came on latest when only denied second late on over this trip at Bellewstown (good); bit to find with second-placed Jurality on that form but 3yo looks on the improve and more possible (1lb wrong). |
7/1 |

3rd 9 (10) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |

Maiden hasn't run that badly in two of her three starts in handicaps; kept on well enough over 1m4f at Limerick on latest; dam closely related to 2m winner so may appreciate this longer trip but needs more to get her head in front. |

Bought for 15,000gns lately; maiden's best run was when third over 11.5f on soft ground at Yarmouth; third of four over 1m6f at same track on last start for Charlie Fellowes. |

0-5 but she ran her best race so far when a rallying third in handicap here (11.5, soft) two weeks ago; shaped like a stayer in that race and she could be dangerous if she can build on that. |
