18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Failed to win at two; put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut at the same venue in blinkers (5f, good); another good run in cheekpieces (retained) at Bellewstown; big burden, rider's claim will help. |

Failed to win as a 2yo but put that right when making all in a Navan maiden (5f, yielding) on his penultimate start in first-time cheekpieces; not beaten far on handicap debut back there in blinkers on latest (5f, good) and 1lb lower now; in the mix with cheekpieces back on. |

8st 13lb |
Thrived since joining this yard, three wins over 5f from six starts at Dundalk; progress stalled upped to 6f last time when last of ten; that run was too bad to be true and given a break since but she's up 29lb since her first win and needs to prove herself on turf now. |

20th Feb 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Thrived since joining this yard, three wins from five at this track, albeit all at 5f, most recently off 77 early this month; speedy type up an aggregate of 32lb this term so rider's claim very valuable here and now tries 6f again. |

8st 7lb |
Admirable sort whose seven wins include twice here over 5f, notably 0.5l defeat of Collective Power in April; arrives here on the back of two good runs over 5f at the Curragh but remains vulnerable at this trip. |

3rd 12 (12) |

Admirable sort with seven wins and 17 places to his name; struggled in two turf starts in the first half of June following a Dundalk win; outran his 33-1 odds when fourth behind Genesis over C&D latest. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 10lb |
Navan maiden winner last season; placed over C&D and 5f at Cork before fifth of 12 at the Curragh, again over the minimum trip; needs to find a little extra to open his handicap account; this near-6f trip should suit. |
9/2 |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Navan 2yo maiden winner has returned with two good runs in handicaps, chasing home Amiata at Naas (6f, good) and never quite on terms third to front-running Allsortz at Cork (soft); stiffer 5f should suit. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |
9st 7lb |
Has okay form on good and Polytrack, and goes well on straight tracks, but last couple of wins have been on testing terrain; outstayed over 7f when second at Cork, and 5f was a bit sharp latest; all three wins have been at 6f. |
10/1 |

3rd 4 (6) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y |
9st 3lb |
Prominent racer a three-time winner at 6f on good to yielding and soft/heavy; mixed form since scoring at the Curragh on seasonal return in March off 1lb lower; C&D form figures of 343 so considered but may need softer ground than this. |

3-8 at Dundalk, 1-10 on turf; fair fifth over C&D before unplaced behind Cuban Grey on AW; this looks too competitive for him. |

26th May 2026 Standard 0m 5f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Only fifth on soft ground last time but he had previously made it 3-7 here when cosily accounting for Lethimfly in March; only 3lb higher now but his wide draw is worrying. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season, going closest on latest when staying on well into second late on behind 0.5l winner Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month on ground on the quick side for him; nice turn around in the weights with that rival, with rider now claiming. |

2nd 10 (4) |
18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Nine-time winner, including twice over C&D; no joy yet this season; ran better than the bare result from 10lb out of the handicap in the Rockingham; finished well in the recent Naas event won by Sovereign Cry; not ruled out. |

9st 12lb |
Maiden winner ran a fine race in a Naas 3yo premier handicap (6f, good) in May off 6lb higher mostly modest form since; below par at Bellewstown last time but yard hitting form and can't discount in new headgear. |
16/1 |

4th 6 (3) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 3y |
8st 9lb |
Won a fillies' maiden at Navan (6f, good) last September; okay runs in defeat in handicaps this season including when fifth at 6.10 Fairyhouse Wednesday (joint-favoiurite); will be suited by a strongly run race at this distance and likely to get that here; chance |

In good form this summer over this trip on quick ground, winning at Navan and Bellewstown; not a bad effort after aggregate 17lb rise when under 2l off Mary Shoelaces over C&D last month, staying on after briefly short of room; respected. |

Belatedly off the mark at Navan last month in first-time cheekpieces; another good run at Naas (third of 21); underlined his rate of improvement when winning again at Bellewstown; up an aggregate 17lb. |

Betting Forcast
6/1 Namiid, 11/4 Prairie Girl, 12/1 Cuban Grey, 13/2 Bad Boy Rizz, 14/1 Smoke Them Out, 16/1 Buddy Batt, 3/1 Harrys Hill, 14/1 Treasured Royal, 12/1 Happy Henry, 20/1 Asdana, 20/1 Bye Bye Now
Verdict
Having run a cracker at the Curragh last time after 170 days away, PRAIRIE GIRL can improve enough from that to get her first turf win off the same mark. Dual course winner Harry’s Hill won at the Curragh last time and has to be respected. Namiid and Bad Boy Rizz shouldn’t be far away. [Tyrone Molloy]
