8st 9lb |
Having a good season, recrding wins at Naas, Curragh and last month at Navan over this trip; drop back to 5f backfired at latter venue nine days later so will appreciate return to this trip; could go well. |

9st 4lb |
Won C&D maiden on yielding last year; three wins this season, including over 6f (good) here on latest, prevailing by a head; 2lb rise for that seems reasonable and the drop back to 5f no problem; should go well again. |

10st 0lb |
Solid 3yo sprinter wasn't hit hard for handicap wins earlier in the season at Naas and the Curragh; after a break raced on unfavoured near side at former venue early this month when never counting; more expected of here, although not sure this wide draw is ideal. |

Trained at two by Ger Lyons, winning Naas maiden and minor Dundalk contest over 5f; didn't count in Listed at latter venue final start in October; belated return for new yard and hood added for handicap debut; eyecatching jockey booking. |

9st 0lb |
Won over this trip on debut at Naas in July and added further win last month over today's C&D, coming off good pace for neck win; five days earlier too keen when below best over 6f in valuable sales race at the Curragh; proven over trip and surface but steps up in grade. |

Back-to-back 6f wins on good (including here) in July but handles an ease; 1l behind Amiata over 6f here on penultimate and 5lb better off now; was on the wrong side of the track over C&D three days ago so that run can be marked up; this is a stronger race, however, and 2lb wrong but has a place shout. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y |
9st 2lb |
No win since March last year; a couple of respectable efforts this year and has been dropped 5lb since finishing fourth in a 6f Navan handicap last month; would prefer more of an ease, but interesting to see how she gets on here. |

4th 3 (8) |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 9lb |
Both wins have come at the Curragh and all four runs this term have been at same track, notably fine fourth of 22 in premier handicap in May; 2lb wrong and raced on unfavoured far side in Scurry Handicap latest; rider's 7lb claim a positive so don't rule out. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 63y |

Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; this season's form linked to Genesis and Headmaster puts her in the mix, although several others would seem to have marginally stronger claims. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 3lb |
Three of her four wins have come over 5f at the Curragh, including race for second successive year last month when making much of running; another good run off 6lb higher in similar contest 11 days ago when beaten under 2l: stiff 6f here probably not ideal. |

Three of her four wins have come over C&D, including for second successive year last month when making much of running in beating Harry's Hill 0.5l on good-to-firm (Happy Henry fifth) under today's rider; 6lb rise but has to be respected given her record here. |

Two of her three wins have come over C&D, including this race in 2024 off a mark of 60 (now 6lb higher); limited appeal on recent form, but could surprise. |

Won over 6f at Curragh in March and some solid efforts since up to 7f and has run well over C&D; goes well on soft and his mark is looking attractive so one to consider. |

Got back to winning ways at Gowran last month (7f, good); soundly beaten off revised mark twice since, but has been eased 6lb for those two tame efforts, so is just 1lb higher than his last win; has run well on the AW so not dismissed. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 5f 180y |
9st 12lb |
Just denied by Jon Riggens over C&D in June, more recently made all over 7f at Gowran; five days later awkward start and soon beaten in a similar event under 7lb penalty; capable 5lb claimer now booked so don't rule out. |

5th 1 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y |

Carries a 7lb penalty due to his C&D victory five days ago; that win came following a good third at the Galway festival (7f, yielding) but he's not the most consistent overall, so not guaranteed to reproduce his winning form. |
