30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Killarney maiden hurdle winner (2m4f, yielding) last season, beating Big Dispute by 0.75l; cruised easily to the lead before emptying late on at Leopardstown (2m5f, good to yielding) when last seen over Christmas; that performance suggests a win off this mark is within reach but may improve for this return. |

Won a Killarney maiden hurdle back in May (2m4f, yielding); modest run on handicap debut at Gowran (2m4f, soft) after a break but should be sharper for that and ran well only previous start at this trip; claims. |

Struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; well backed and ran creditably in a Cork rated novice hurdle last time when third (2m2f, good); getting the hang of things and should be thereabouts. |

Two previous trainers; struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles (including over 2m4f here), setting the pace each time; ran well in decent Flat maiden here last month on first start for Kevin Coleman and won't mind good ground; 1lb wrong. |

French recruit won sole start in AQPS Flat race at Le Mans (2m, soft) in November 2022; made a belated Irish debut in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Killarney last month, ran on well after an untidy jump two out to finish third, beaten almost 10l; obvious candidate for improvement; jockey has ridden a recent winner for the stable. |

Debut point-to-point winner bagged back-to-back wins over hurdles in September in a Galway handicap (2m7f, good to yielding) and a Downpatrick novice contest (2m6f, yielding); fell at the first at Galway next time and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October; top-rated of these over hurdles. |

Navan maiden hurdle winner in September (2m3f, yielding); runner up in a novice handicap here (2m1f, sft-hvy) in November and beaten a head in a Grade 2 Novice at Limerick the following month; pulled up (coughing post-race) and soundly beaten in handicaps the last twice though so a revival is needed. |

Progressive 6yo won Navan maiden before staying-on second in 2m1f Punchestown novice handicap and most recently just outstayed in 2m7f Limerick Grade 2 novice on heavy, having led between final two flights; legitimate claims back in handicap company but this looks very competitive. |
