May again find a few too good at the weights. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194002.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>10\/1<\/p>\n<p>Sole Flat success came under an attacking ride at Bellewstown in October 2024. Ran to similar level when third here last summer. Now drops in grade following quiet winter on all-weather and last month&#8217;s spin over hurdles was presumably a pipe-opener.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194003.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>16\/1<\/p>\n<p>C&amp;D winner snapped a losing run at Dundalk (2m) in March and went in again at Sligo (1\u00bem, good to soft) in May. Step back in right direction when 8\u00be lengths fourth at Bellewstown off 1 lb higher latest. Didn&#8217;t carry much of a win threat, though. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194004.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>25\/1<\/p>\n<p>Fair winner over 1\u00bcm for Ian Williams last summer. Well below that level for current yard, including in this grade at Fairyhouse last time. Hopes pinned on first-time tongue strap\/refitting of cheekpieces. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194005.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>40\/1<\/p>\n<p>Very lightly-raced for age. Fair form in Dundalk maidens but no impact either handicap start on all-weather last spring. Handicapper has at least offered further respite ahead of his return\/turf debut and has good-value apprentice aboard. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194006.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>14\/1<\/p>\n<p>In good form at Dundalk over the winter.

Serious player if in similar form off a quick turnaround.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194009.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>50\/1<\/p>\n<p>Dual hurdle winner in 2023 before losing his way for Gavin Cromwell. Well beaten on Flat return\/stable debut following 13 months off at Tramore (2m) latest. Cheekpieces go on first time, and he may still need the run here. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194010.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>6\/1<\/p>\n<p>Relatively lightly-raced 4-y-o. Went close in this grade on the all-weather at Dundalk in late-May. Arguably kicked too soon when \u00be-length second to next-time-out winner Arch Enemy at Navan (1\u00bcm) latest. Can make amends if ridden with a bit more restraint back up in trip. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Horse silk\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/images\/silks\/20260720bal194011.png\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>15\/2<\/p>\n<p>Gleneagles filly.

Worth a go over middle distances on that evidence, for all she isn&#8217;t bred to stay this far. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"10\/3 Holding his form pretty well, finishing 1\u00bd lengths behind Arch Enemy at Killarney (11.5f, good) 5 days&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[93,61,60],"class_list":["post-559462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
