Solid 3yo sprinter hasn't been hit hard for handicap wins over C&D in April and over 5f at the Curragh in June; back from a two-month spell, and perhaps he'll just come on for this run. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

Yet to win since joining this yard and not the most consistent but ran a fine race at Galway (7f, yielding) last week when beaten 2l off 75; good ground is fine but needs to back that up now off 1lb higher. |

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. |

Both wins have come at this track but over 6f/7f; good fourth over 6f here on latest; had an excuse on her previous start, she was reported coming in season; cheekpieces for the first time, may find a few of these rivals too quick. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 6lb |
Beaten 2.75l on debut at the Curragh by Thenandnow and 6lb better off with that rival here; got off the mark in a Navan maiden on latest (6f, good); rather speedily bred so whether this trip will suit is up for debate; cheekpieces go on. |

Displayed winning potential in first three starts in maidens at the Curragh (6f, soft), Cork (6f, soft) and Dundalk (5f) in April-May; not disgraced off 78 on handicap debut at the Curragh (5f, gd-yld) last month (hung left); obvious claims back in maiden company if handling this quicker ground. |

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. |

Has been a revelation since dropping back to this trip with the addition of blinkers, and being ridden forward; just worn down late at Naas (Gavoo third) last time; wrong at the weights, so 5lb higher now. |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 205y |

Was a long-standing maiden over middle distances, but dam was a capable sprinter and dropping him back to 6f in a pair of blinkers has done the trick; followed up breakthrough win at Navan when winning in only slightly lower grade here; prominent racer got an uncontested lead then, but might have more to offer nonetheless. |

Three wins here; struck for the first time since 2024 when winning at Navan in June; may have benefitted from track position (only runner-up and himself raced far side), but in fairness, second won lately; missed an engagement here earlier this month and profile suggests layoff not ideal; 3lb wrong, but top 'bug' rides. |

5f Dundalk winner last season; stepped up on previous form when winning at Naas last month (5f, good), third won next time out; didn't run too badly over 5f here last time off his 5lb higher mark when a 2.75l eighth of 18 (5f, good to firm); Foley takes over from 7lb claimer now. |

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. |

Classy performer back in the day; couple of okay runs over 7f for this yard, but was 8l behind Gotta Catch'em All over C&D when only a 6-1 poke; handicapper is giving him a chance, but visor needs to make an impact for him to be competitive. |
