28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Smart stayer on the Flat and nice Flat return at Killarney after 13 months off; pick of hurdles form would give him a chance, but hasn't run in this code since being beaten 8l off mark of 131 at last year's Punchestown festival; stays well on the level and might yet improve for going 3m (second try at it). |

4th 3 (7) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Smart dual-purpose sort; well suited by the race conditions; twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last summer, third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm); not seen since a fine second in a 1m6f Group 3 at York 13 months ago; good opportunity for Hannah Smullen if he returns in prime shape. |

9st 0lb |
Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 80y |
11st 10lb |
First and second in the last two runnings of the Grand Annual at Cheltenham; slightly unlucky in a valuable handicap hurdle at Aintree when last seen; still potentially well handicapped over hurdles and should be a leading player; has won over 2m5f over fences. |
4/1 |

5th 16 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Better over fences; stays 2m5f; had wind surgery prior to the latest Cheltenham Festival (2m, good) where he very nearly recorded a second success in the Grand Annual; not guaranteed to transfer the form back to hurdles but he is attractively treated off a much lower mark in this sphere. |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 0m 7f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Goes well at this venue and was only reeled in close to home over 8.5f here on Tuesday; runs off the same mark now and nicely drawn so can't discount dropped back in trip; obvious chance. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 5 (6) |
28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Two-time C&D winner on heavy off higher marks; went close again over C&D in October, again on heavy; caught the eye when short of room and not beaten far at Killarney on latest (1m, good); softer conditions would be preferable but he's got plenty of decent form on this sort of ground and his yard targets this meeting; chance. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
11st 12lb |
Back from a long spell in the doldrums with improved efforts in hot handicap chases at Aintree (2m5f, gd-sft) and over C&D (yielding) the last twice; big chance now dropped in grade with talented claimer taking off a handy 7lb. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

Won off 8lb lower at Roscommon (16.5f, yld-sft) in June; ran two respectable races at the Galway festival, third of 20 in a handicap hurdle, then fifth of 18 in a 22.5f handicap chase; may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Generally runs at around 2m and won at Roscommon before running well in hurdle here on Monday; stamina for new trip is the imponderable. |

Winning hurdler and comes here in good form after a convincing success in a 2m handicap chase at Roscommon last month; 9lb lower over flights and a good 5lb claimer booked; makes a compelling case. |

Dual chase winner who is rated lower over hurdles, making all over 2m7f at Clonmel in April and fair fourth here following month (2m4f); return to longer trip to suit and yard going well. |

Two-time chase (including here) and hurdling winner has failed to exploit his lower hurdles mark on his last three starts; likes it here but remains 5lb above his last hurdles win and stamina to prove for this trip. |

Three-time hurdles winner on good to yielding; finished 0.75l behind Spick And Span at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) before stepping up in trip at Tipperary last time to record a very easy victory (23.5f, good to yielding); up 7lb now and drops back in trip. |

Dual hurdles winner is now 7lb below last winning mark; won at Ballinrobe in July last year (2m1f, good to yielding); winner of a beginners' chase here in March over extended 2m; out of form following that; modest third at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft). |

Had a couple of mishaps over fences and didn't run badly in first-time blinkers over hurdles at Bellewstown last month; could do better with that confidence booster under his belt and the headgear is retained. |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

Has suffered mishaps over fences lately, equipment failure at Tramore, hampered and unseated at Punchestown; second in this race in 2025; could be interesting in first-time blinkers; however, Fiver Friday appeals as the stable's main hope. |
