4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal and second at Listowel; has not reached the same standard over hurdles; Listowel run was mildly encouraging after two failures to complete. |

Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal and second here; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled up the last twice (tongue-tie worn last time now discarded) so lots more needed on return from summer break. |

Useful bumper form in 2023, winning at Down Royal; hurdling career so far hasn't matched up, Limerick handicap third at Christmas (heavy) his best effort; pulled a shoe and suffered an overreach when pulled up in similar (but weaker) event in February; tongue-tie added now; can't rule out but may want it softer. |

2-10 in point-to-points; finished in front of a below-par Big Interest when second at Down Royal last March; good effort when second in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon last summer; fifth in both outings in this sphere this term, not far off Willitgoahead at Down Royal. |

Dual point winner and has been competitive in hunter chases the last twice, posting useful RPRs; making hurdling debut over a trip that could be too sharp but needs respecting. |

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. |

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. |

Consistent but not progressive in maidens; soundly beaten in third on handicap debut at Downpatrick last month; two of his better maiden hurdle performances yielded third place at Roscommon, in races a year apart. |

3rd 4 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Has posted several fine efforts in maiden hurdles, notably when second at Kilbeggan over 2m2f (saddle slipped too); failed to see out 20.5f at Bellewstown last month; drop in trip a plus on handicap debut. |

Maiden under both codes, whose best recent effort came last month over C&D when staying on fourth (over 3l off runner-up Let It Settle); 2lb better off with that rival so considered. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |

Ran okay in a low-grade 1m5f handicap a month ago (blinkers returned) and there has been the odd bit of promise in handicap hurdles; 0-16 under both codes, but no forlorn hope here. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Unbeaten for Aidan Melia; made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles since June when scoring twice at the Galway festival; has gone up an aggregate 39lb and now bids to avail of the 73 Flat rating obtained as a 3yo; has a solid Aga Khan pedigree, so the trip should be within his range; Derek O'Connor booked. |

Thriving since joining current yard, making it 3-3 when scoring in emphatic fashion over C&D on Monday, despite taking a keen hold; hit with a 13lb rise for that so up an aggregate of 29lb since joining the yard; Conor Smithers has ridden him on all three wins and maintains the partnership here; big player. |

Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator. |

107-rated hurdler won a maiden in that sphere last summer; ordinary enough Flat form and doubt dropping back from last two runs over 1m4f will be the answer. |

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner just over a year ago (2m2f, good); best run since came at same track when just behind Theflyingbee and Cobra Queen, weakening late on over 2m6f; okay effort at Bellewstown 16 days ago; stable going well and must be shortlisted. |

Always doing enough when making winning handicap debut at Downpatrick (2m1f; 9-4 favourite) last October; well beaten in a Grade 3 mares' novice next time, and absent since; no issue with this track, so mildly interesting to see how she fares off a BHA mark of 109. |
