Winner of ten races; off for almost a year before his return at Listowel last month; should be better for the outing; younger horses preferred. |

Prolific winner over hurdles/fences, most recently 2m2f Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April 2025; not seen since yard debut fourth of seven in Killarney handicap chase in October so perhaps best watched. |

Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |

Record of 1-16 over hurdles; won at Galway (22.5f, yielding) last October; modest form this year but creditable effort when seventh of 20 at Galway (16.5f) latest and is a player tackling this longer trip. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Has achieved his best form at this venue, namely when twice second (in a maiden and a handicap) in the first half of 2025; moderate form last summer; always behind at Down Royal on return from a break; appears to be the trainer's second string. |

One of two for yard; some fair efforts in defeat last year but pulled up on heavy ground when last seen in November at Fairyhouse; these conditions more suitable, capable off this mark and not dismissed dropped in grade. |

Lightly-raced 8yo; Fair fifth at Kilbeggan on penultimate start off the same mark; workmanlike winner of a maiden hurdle last time at Downpatrick (2m3f, good); this will be just his second run in a handicap so he is entitled to continue improving. |

11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |

Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |

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). |

Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |

11st 2lb |
Won a 2m handicap in 2024 for Henry de Bromhead; back to form in November on first run for this yard and not discredited next time but, with tongue-tie fitted after wind surgery, she pulled up lame on chase debut in January and was well beaten when upped to an extended 2m3f three weeks ago; this trip is a big step into unknown territory. |

Won a handicap hurdle for Henry de Bromhead whom she left for £5,500; they were perfectly respectable runs over hurdles for this yard in the winter and her non-completion last time (after wind surgery) was over fences; couldn't dismiss. |

Veteran is 3-38 over hurdles, the last win coming at Punchestown (2m4f, good) in November 2024 off 84; decent fourth at Clonmel (2m4f, heavy) before dismal effort at Punchestown next time (2m3f, heavy); bounced back with rallying runner-up finish at Clonmel last time (2m, heavy); on career low mark and can't be ruled out. |

0-5 over hurdles and his two runs in handicaps when last seen in this sphere in April/May were not encouraging; some positives in his Flat form this year, but his 27l defeat at Tramore last time was not one of them. |
