10st 6lb |
Won a Kilbeggan handicap over 2m4f in May and has been fairly consistent in defeat since; however, was beaten 17l in a Wexford novice last time and needs plenty more today. |

11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences in a Kilbeggan handicap in May; solid efforts over hurdles and fences since; saddle slipped early so Galway run last time is forgiven; has 11lb to find on ratings with Le Coq Hardi. |

10st 1lb |
Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; never sighted on recent Flat return at Roscommon, but notable jockey booking here so has to be worth a market check. |

Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; returns to the Flat in a first-time visor; others arrive in better form. |

11st 13lb |
Winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in May last year (2m4f, good); beat precious few rivals in four beginners' chases to date; pulled up at Tramore when badly hampered at the first last time; others preferred. |

1-11 over hurdles and rated 100; tailed off in all three previous starts over fences and similar story last two starts in novice hurdles; lacks a recent run and others appeal more. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper plus maiden hurdle winner ran well in defeat on the Flat over the summer including when not beaten far in a strong Leopardstown handicap last time; is one to consider. |
6/1 |

16th 23 (25) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 9lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; useful form in defeat on his first two starts on the Flat, second in maidens at Killarney (behind the subsequent runner-up in Galway's big amateur handicap) and Galway; fair finish behind a group of 3yos at Roscommon last time; good 5lb claimer aboard for handicap debut. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
10st 3lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner has run excellent races in defeat on his first two starts on the Flat; was only 1.5l behind Eagle Fang at Killarney and he has since run a huge race off 90 in the valuable Q.R. handicap at Galway; has to concede weight to most of these but big chance. |

11st 7lb |
Winning hurdler is 0-2 over fences but shaped like his turn was near here on penultimate when chasing home Rockonliam (19.5f, good); hampered and unseated at the first on latest at Galway; chance, but might prefer more of a stamina test. |
6/1 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 11lb |
1-12 over hurdles; posted a solid effort on chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good) last month, keeping on from the back for a 4.5l second of 14; not obviously well treated for handicap chase bow but not written off. |

11st 5lb |
Made a successful handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good) and couldn't have given his true running back there two months ago; could yet prove himself worthy of this mark. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |

Promise in all three maiden hurdles starts before C&D success eight weeks ago on handicap debut; ability to handle this track is an asset; capable of a good showing. |
100/30 |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 57y |
11st 12lb |
Handicap debutant has shown promise in all three of his maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; ran respectably here in a 16.5f bumper a year ago; opening mark looks fair and he is worth a market check on return from 263 days off. |
