2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Won this 2022 & 2023 and bids for third win on the back of a fine third of 20 in Connacht Hotel QR Handicap here on Monday, staying on well after not clear run; below best on flat here on Friday, questionable whether he'll turn out for a third time this week. |

9st 9lb |
Six-time course winner bounced back to form with an excellent effort in the QR handicap here on Monday, beaten just 1.25l off 88; this trip possibly on the sharp side but loves it here and not discounted for place purposes. |

Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance. |

Gained first win since 2023 with good attitude shown at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good), defeating today's rival Truth Be Told by a neck; not far behind third-placed Factual Fact when sixth at Killarney. |

Gained first win since 2023 with good attitude shown at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good) 32 days ago, defeating Truth Be Told by a neck; raised 6lb and probably not guaranteed to back that up but did run well over C&D last year. |

10st 7lb |
Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for whom she won at 1m3f and 2m; well held in a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas but much better when second to Majolique at Naas and looks capable of holding her own at this level. |

Bought for 185,000euros out of top French Flat yard for which she signed off with wins at 1m3f and 2m (good/AW); looked in need of the run when seventh of 19 at Leopardstown on hurdle/yard debut at Christmas, will need to improve considerably to play a major role here. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Dual hurdles winner has scored twice on the Flat, including over C&D; latest win was in the valuable amateur riders' handicap at the Galway festival last year (2m1f, yielding) off 5lb lower; disappointed on seasonal return in that race last time; must take a big step forward from that first run, but he has tended to do so in past seasons. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |

Won this readily last year; struggled off 10lb higher in the Irish Cesarewitch; ended the season with a fair sixth in a big 2m handicap at Naas; strong contender despite veteran status; Dara McGill's 7lb claim an asset, as was Alan O'Sullivan's last year. |

8st 8lb |
The lack of any win since a maiden hurdle in January 2024 (first run for Willie Mullins) is a concern but he's produced solid efforts on Flat over 2m2f, 1m6f and 2m on his last three starts and may well be an out-and-out stayer; no shock if he's on the premises. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Rated 129 over hurdles and probably ran to about that mark when runner-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle earlier this month; makes his chasing debut here and clearly respected if his jumping holds up. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Four-time Flat winner is 1-4 hurdling, with the victory coming in a Galway maiden hurdle in 2024; 9.25l fourth of eight over C&D (soft) when last seen over hurdles in March and hasn't been at his best in three Flat runs since then; others preferred. |

11st 11lb |
Well held in handicap hurdle outings; added a second win over timber in January when landing a Cork rated novice hurdle (2m1f, yielding to soft); followed up on AW to notch a second Flat win; cheekpieces go back on after he was tailed off in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle last month (2m, yielding to soft). |

Well held in his two previous handicaps as a jumper but has since won a Cork novice and a staying handicap on the AW; others are a bit more intriguing, however; cheekpieces removed. |

Fine dual-purpose sort has 10 wins under all codes including a Bellewstown Flat handicap last August beating a below par Light Up The Dark; won the American Grand National when last seen; handles all ground; a big player. |

Useful dual-purpose sort ran a solid fourth on the Flat at Killarney in May; won over fences at Galway last time after being unplaced in the Plate earlier in the week; should run well. |

Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until signs of a return to form when a staying-on third over 2m at Tramore; confidence dented by a moderate run over 1m4f on Monday. |

Sole success came in Ballinrobe (9.5f, good) claimer last summer; never out of the three in last four handicap starts over a variety of trips; appreciated return to good ground when beaten 1.5l by Fianna three days ago at Roscommon; extra two furlongs no problem and big chance if backing up quickly. |

Sole success came in a 9.5f Ballinrobe claimer last summer; stays this far and should be sharper for latest modest third at Galway but probably hasn't got much in hand off current mark. |
