Twelve runs since last win in 2025 but has been shaping up quite well and found only one too good at Galway (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks well treated if building on that.

Yet to fire in 3 starts this season. Is gradually edging back down the weights but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

Verdict
C&D winner. Ended long losing run in 9-runner handicap at Navan (6f, good) when last seen at the beginning of June, one of only 2 runners to stick to the far rail. May not see things work out so beneficially this time but remains well treated from just a 4 lb higher mark.

Bounced back to form with a vengeance when winning 12-runner handicap at Naas in July. Wasn't disgraced when no better than mid-division in deeper race here last time. Has work to do at the weights.

Verdict
Fairly useful maiden who posted a best effort when second at Ffos Las in June on final outing for Owen Burrows. Shaped better than the bare result when fourth at Naas (6f, good, 16/1) 6 days ago, travelling fluently but caught further back than ideal. Shortlist material.

Fair maiden who placed on 4 of his 6 outings as a juvenile for Miss Natalia Lupini. Has shaped as if in good form this year with a couple of in-the-frame efforts. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces and the tongue strap goes back on.

Verdict
Still looking for a breakthrough victory but out of the frame only once so far this season, good fourth of 15 in handicap at Fairyhouse (7f, good) in July. The tongue strap goes back on and she has an interesting jockey booking in Oisin Murphy.

Lightly-raced maiden. Much improved from his reappearance with fourth at Navan (5f) in July. Failed to build on that upped in grade when last of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Naas (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago. The blinkers now go on.
