9st 5lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him. |

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-33 on Flat (and second on ten occasions), 2-9 over hurdles; has won the last two editions of this race, significantly his only two stakes race wins from 27 attempts; has finished in the first two in five of his six races at this venue; out of his depth in Group 2/3 races on his only other Flat starts in 2026. |

Loves soft/heavy ground, dual 1m12f Naas Listed winner from three Flat wins; down the field in Galway Hurdle when last seen (ground too quick) and has had a short break since; ground now in his favour but faces stronger stayers at this trip. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; switched to chasing in last two appearances, looking a non-stayer over 2m6f latest; registered comfortable wins in non-handicaps over hurdles (2m3f/2m4f) in 2024 and 2025 but faces a stiffer assignment off a mark of 138 in this deeper field; tongue-tie applied. |

Point winner has won a Wexford bumper before taking a 2m3f maiden hurdle here; rebounded from a poor Galway run over 2m to win a Listowel conditions event back over 2m4f; this trip looks within reach; probably the yard's first-string so is a big player. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner for Harry Kelly; ran well on the Flat at this venue on final start for Kelly; has run poorly in two of his three runs for this stable; makes handicap debut; his two stablemates appear to hold stronger credentials. |

11st 12lb |
Ballinrobe bumper winner last July; won a Naas maiden hurdle easily at the first attempt in April; let down by jumping on stable debut when finishing last in a Cork rated novice (2m1f, good); improved jumping display when a good third in a rated hurdle at Wexford last time; he won't be far away. |

Ballinrobe bumper winner last summer readily landed Naas maiden (2m, good to yielding) on hurdling debut last month; slowly away when narrowly beaten on the flat at Bellewstown two days later but let down by jumping on yard debut in Cork rated novice latest; likely improver if getting jumping sorted. |

17th Jan 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
One of four for trainer; two-time Flat winner and maiden hurdle winner; creditable efforts in his last three handicaps, a 2l runner-up at Navan (2m5f, heavy) before staying on for a modest fourth in a Listed contest at Navan when 3lb wrong (3m1f, soft to heavy); third at Limerick last time when he could offer no more close home (3m, soft to heavy); can go well again but Kennedy chooses another. |

Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |

Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

11st 12lb |
Rated 135 over fences at his peak; 8yo ran well enough on his belated Flat debut at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last month; shaped like this extra furlong would suit but he may be vulnerable to younger legs. |

Talented hurdler placed at Grade 2 level in that sphere; 0-4 over fences and has been sparingly raced in the last two seasons; off since below par effort on debut for this yard at Wexford in May; capable but probably best watched on return to action. |
