One of three runners for his yard; all bar one of his nine wins have come on sand, including the Laytown race in which he was third 12 days ago (beaten just under 5l); wears new headgear combination; others appeal more. |

First reserve; won off 7lb higher at Dundalk (7f) in January, his eighth AW win; is 3lb lower than when winning this race last year and didn't run too badly over 1m at Navan on latest; could be a danger to all if getting a run. |

Hard to knock this season and only went up 3lb for his narrow defeat of Morehampton at Roscommon (extended 7f, yielding); he was fair value for that winning margin. |

Second runner for Ado McGuinness has had a good season; winner over 7f at Leopardstown in June and has run well off revised mark since, when fourth to stablemate Eddie G at Galway and on ground faster than ideal over 1m at the Curragh. |

Four consecutive places in June/July; in the frame again when fourth of 15 behind Sonoran at Navan early this month; not one of his better efforts at Punchestown last week; overall consistency still makes him an appealing candidate here. |

8st 7lb |
Has a poor strike rate (2-26); however, worth recalling that she finished second (behind Pink Oxalis) when a 40-1 chance in this race 12 months ago; fair form this season; yard emerging from a quiet spell; lively outsider potentially. |

9st 2lb |
Strong in the finish when third over 7f at Gowran and looked sure to win at Roscommon (extended 7f) only to be reeled in late on by Goal Exceeded; should be fine over this far and firmly enters the reckoning. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 94y |

Beat Punica Granatum in a Gowran maiden last year and ran well in a soft-ground winners' race over C&D on next start; seemingly too high in the handicap this term, but never-nearer third at speed-favouring Gowran was a much better effort and showed he's now on a competitive mark; headgear returns. |

5-27 on turf; now just 1lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown last October (1m2f, heavy); best run of the season when fourth of 16 over 1m4f at Galway last month; trip-versatile, but probably best at around 1m2f. |

Hasn't added to his 6f Sligo maiden win on debut last year but several solid efforts in defeat; the best of those came in a first-time visor over C&D last time; up 1lb but has a good draw and should be a player. |

Most recent of his four wins came over an extended 6f at Limerick in July; finished well after being hampered in a 6f handicap at Laytown; should be ridden prominently from his inside draw and no surprise if he's thereabouts. |

In good fettle before a disappointing effort off revised mark at Naas; form of his Limerick win was boosted by the runner-up winning at Cork; not discounted and has won over this trip. |

Two wins here this year, the first of them on soft; bolted up the second time in July; was being primed for another win here when his intended race was cancelled in August; went to Navan instead, where well held up in grade, but a danger to all back here and back down in grade. |

Third reserve; hasn't had a lot of racing and won easily at Bellewstown (1m, good; fine on soft) to earn this 13lb higher mark; definite chance if getting a run. |

11-time winner approaching the veteran stage; has kept his form very well this year, gaining a deserved win at the Curragh and running well twice since; goes well for this claimer and every chance that he will be on the premises once more. |

Has held his form well in recent months; two wins in 2026 have brought his career tally to 11; backed up a narrow Curragh success (Sherekiya, third) with another solid display in taking third at Navan 13 days ago; has won and twice finished second for 10lb claimer Cillian Rowan. |

Verdict
Plenty with chances. FELIX SOMARY faded over 1m2f at Navan and the extended mile at Galway the last twice but this easier mile could suit this prominent racer so he is selected. Dream Legend, Morehampton, Elusive Path and Goal Exceeded can be big players. [Tyrone Molloy]
