22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Sole win in 14 starts on Flat came here over 1m on good last month off 75; set to finish a decent third on hurdles debut at Tipperary in October; that form entitles him to be considered. |

Runner-up on five occasions; had become expensive to follow before beating Earls narrowly at Killarney, justifying good market support; has gone up 8lb, but his confidence may have been boosted by the breakthrough win. |

8st 12lb |
Has come up dry since winning back-to-back races at the Curragh on first two starts for this stable in 2024; positive signs at Roscommon in cheekpieces on latest and now tries a visor for his AW debut; on a dangerous mark if taking to this surface. |

Made most to get off the mark at Leopardstown (1m, good) but beat only one home at Gowran, under those same conditions; could still run well having bounced back from a quiet run in the past. |

8th 2 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y |
9st 13lb |
Made the breakthrough at the tenth time of asking at Leopardstown (1m, good) when taking advantage of being at the front of affairs to win by 0.75l, with a couple of these behind; up 7lb and has his chance. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |

Maiden winner over 6f last year; mixed bag so far this term; ran a cracker off this mark when beaten a neck at Naas (7f, good) last month; didn't back that up over 6f back there 15 days ago when upset in stalls; needs to rebound. |

Kingman filly didn't show much in sole start last season at Cork (7f, soft) when slowly away, but reappeared to land Gowran fillies' maiden last month, wearing down a front-runner late on over 1m (yielding) - third has won since; unexposed entering handicap ranks and booking of in-form claimer a positive. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Thrice-raced filly whose 2yo turf form comprised a success on debut and solid effort in 1m match race against a progressive rival who has since extended his winning streak; interesting on reappearance. |

Justified favouritism in 7f contest at Doncaster, getting on top towards the line; evidently well regarded (holds two Group entries) and should be capable of progress; half-sister to two AW winners; respected. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Gained second win of career over 1m at Leopardstown on seasonal return last month, beating Zaraahmando by a neck; went up 8lb for that, and Zaraahmando turned the tables last time. |

6th 5 (2) |
9th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Gained second win of career over C&D (good) on seasonal return last month, beating Zaraahmando by a neck; 8lb rise makes things tougher but Keane booked and he's well drawn so can't be totally discounted. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 0m 7f 111y |
9st 0lb |
Uneven form this season; good third at Gowran before no show at Fairyhouse; bounced back with a close second at Dundalk before heavy defeat at Galway on latest; not the easiest to predict, could go well if in the mood. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 0m 7f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Ran no race in the first-time visor behind Caitouna at Fairyhouse but seen to much better effect when just overhauled late at Dundalk over 7f two weeks ago; well drawn if she can get a prominent sit and one of the each-way players. |

Four consecutive places, the latest from a good draw when second to Cala Bonita at Galway (yielding to soft); looks on the right sort of mark but his stable couldn't be in better form. |

5-26 on turf; just 2lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown in October (1m2f, heavy); beaten 3.75l into fifth in this race last season off this mark but hard to fancy on this season's efforts and others look better treated. |

Fair runs in maidens before stepping up in trip for handicap debut at Down Royal, beaten 8l in third over 1m2f; did not quite get home over 1m4f at Limerick; high draw could make things difficult. |

Fair runs in maidens before stepping up in trip for handicap debut at Down Royal, beaten 8l when third over 1m2f; hard to know if this trip will suit, but there are middle-distance winners on dam's side of pedigree; gets fast ground for the first time here. |

Won his maiden over 7f; 0-8 in handicaps but kept on for fifth at the Curragh last time (1m2f, good) and rain would bring him into it now returned to shorter; not ideally drawn. |
