11st 12lb |
Hurdle winner was 12l behind Irish Panther on chasing debut at Naas; has been hit and miss since but both his wins in that time have been over C&D so his course form can help him back here; has to rebound from a bad mistake at Fairyhouse last time. |

11st 10lb |
Point and maiden hurdle winner; promising chase debut before clear-cut win in a Punchestown rated novice contest in December (2m, heavy), travelling and jumping well; made a mistake three out and dropped in 2m3f Grade 3 event won by Kappa Jy Pyke; got his season back on track with a 2m win at Punchestown; live chance for trainer who this in 2024. |

11st 5lb |
Brother to bumper winner Spider Pig, closely related to 2m3f-3m hurdler/chaser Oscar Robertson; dam unraced sister to useful 2m3f-3m2f hurdler/chaser Ellerslie George; won sole point-to-point and won at second time of asking over hurdles in Cork maidens last term when making virtually all (yielding-to-soft) in January; plenty of potential but lacks a recent run and owner has a stronger candidate in Waterford Whispers. |

8st 9lb |
Finally got head in front after 19 attempts when landing Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month and has since followed it up with a novice hurdle and chase victory; needs to prove as effective on the Flat but didn't run badly in 1m3f maiden in April on ground softer than ideal; could be on a decent mark. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Has hit top form recently; followed up an easy win in a weak Downpatrick maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) with success in a Sligo novice contest (2m2f, good); his rating of 120 over hurdles is the best on offer here but he must transfer it to fences on this chasing bow. |

Flat maiden easily got off the mark over hurdles (15th attempt) in a weak Downpatrick maiden over this trip last month (good), having gone close on several occasions in stronger company; major player. |

Creditable return from over a year off at Cork (2m3f, good) when a 9l fourth of 15, hampered and made a mistake late on; in the mix if backing it up. |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |

Modest point form, but ran well in opening maiden hurdle here last year when third (2m1f, yielding to soft); couldn't get near that level in three subsequent runs; returns from over a year absence and best watched for handicap bow. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
10st 6lb |
Two-time winning hurdler has finished well beaten in novice chases at Killarney (2m1f, gd-yld) and Tramore (15.5f, good); unproven over this far and forecast rain a concern, so probably best watched in first handicap chase. |

11st 5lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Cork (2m1f, good) and Tipperary (2m, good to yielding) in August/October; hasn't hit same heights since; unplaced in points and switch to chasing didn't bring improvement at Killarney last time when beaten 28l. |

Distant fifth in a Cork maiden hurdle was a step in the right direction but was tailed off when 50-1 for his handicap debut last month and his mark looks stiff. |

Breakthrough after some good placed runs over C&D in April, beating Cowper Hall by 2l on good; below form next time but shaped well when beaten 10.5l into third at Listowel 54 days ago; could be more to come in first-time cheekpieces. |

From a leading stable but needs to produce dramatic improvement from three maiden runs during the winter; dam point winner, closely related to Grand National winner One For Arthur, so may need further than this. |
