16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 168y |
9st 10lb |
Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe in May; strong-finishing fourth over 7f at Naas last month prefaced a recent 1m2f win in an apprentice contest at Down Royal, when he had the returning Areana back in third; same rider can claim 7lb this time. |

Six-time AW winner in Britain; first turf success at Ballinrobe (beating Hexagonal over 9.5f, good) in May and much the best effort since on latest when strong-finishing fourth over 7f at Naas last month; trip could stretch him, but contender if seeing it out. |

9st 3lb |
Made all for today's rider to win 1m2f races at Naas and Down Royal last August/September; tough task from out of the handicap in Curragh premier handicap afterwards; made an encouraging return at Down Royal 11 days ago; fair chance of reversing form with Sweet Baby Zou. |

Returned from 260-day absence in the form of her life for new yard this time last year, making all for today's rider to win over 1m2f at both Naas and in this event (off 63); tough task from out of the handicap in Curragh premier handicap afterwards; returns from year's absence but goes well fresh; yard amongst the winners on Wednesday. |

Three-time course winner at 1m and 1m4f; hasn't fired since returning from a break in July and struggled on return to AW in 1m4f handicap here on latest; needs to revive. |
16/1 |
|
10th 6 (1) |
18th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |

Both turf wins have come over 1m; however, is of some interest based on a C&D win in February; fifth at Down Royal a fortnight ago was reasonably encouraging. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Both previous turf wins have come over 1m but landed a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in February; recent turf efforts leave him with a fair bit to find, but has dropped to a mark 7lb below his AW figure. |

Winning hurdler but tailed off in that discipline last time after a 10l defeat over 1m2f at Down Royal; 0-15 on the Flat and others appeal more. |

Won a maiden hurdle here in May but now 0-14 on the Flat, pick of recent form being Galway fourth (1m4f, soft); needs to settle better than at Tramore on latest, drops in trip. |

Admirable mare rarely runs a bad race and very much at her best on this surface with four wins; tends to come up short at this level though and that is the likely outcome once again. |
25/1 |

10th 8 (4) |
15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 1f 30y |
9st 3lb |
Four-time AW winner; sole turf success in 2021; best run for some time when second in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again did not get the best of runs at Roscommon when fourth in a 1m2f claimer; held by Sweet Baby Zou and Areana on Down Royal running. |
14/1 |

7th 3 (17) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |

Four-time AW winner but sole turf success came back in 2021; best run for some time when just failing to get up in 1m1f Leopardstown handicap last month (not clear run); again didn't get the clearest of runs at Roscommon 12 days later when fourth in a 1m2f claimer won by Hexagonal; considerably better off with that rival here back in handicap company. |

9st 9lb |
Record of 2-36 but it was his first run in blinkers when winning well over 1m2f at Clonmel (yielding) and again failed to convince over further at the Curragh; back at 1m2f he should run well, for all that he's 7lb higher than for that recent win. |

4th Oct 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Was recording a second career win when taking 1m2f Clonmel contest last month in first-time blinkers, coming from off the pace to win going away; up 7lb for that and unconvincing over this longer trip in the past; encouraging jockey booking. |
11/2 |

4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |

Took a big climb in the ratings for a Gowran win over just shy of this trip and well held at Galway; dropped to claiming company to score narrowly at Roscommon last month, where he had Darkdeserthighway 3l back in fourth but now 12lb worse off with that rival. |

Won over 1m2f at Newmarket last summer for Tom Clover when wearing a visor; good run on the AW in March but well held on turf since, latest when visor re-applied; others look more likely. |

Won over 1m2f (gd-fm) at Newmarket for Tom Clover when wearing a visor and that returns here; needs to rebound from a heavy defeat at Galway but soft ground not ideal there; these conditions more suitable and yard going well now; chance. |
