10st 8lb |
Longstanding maiden went close at Downpatrick (23.5f, good) in June off 3lb higher; was keeping on when fell two out at Kilbeggan but hard to fancy for win purposes given his chase record of 0-24. |

Maiden in all spheres after 34 starts, but was second at Downpatrick in June off 1lb higher (3m, good); sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford next time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; well beaten over C&D latest; others preferred. |

0-7 over fences but has run ok in defeat; shaped nicely when third in a C&D beginners' on penultimate and that form has since been boosted by the fourth Born Bright; go well back in handicap company with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

Two-time winning hurdler rated 110 in that discipline; 0-6 over fences and rated 7lb lower; not a bad run in a beginners' at Roscommon last month and cheekpieces could eke out more; go well for last year's winning yard. |

Hasn't run badly at times in six runs over fences, including when fourth of nine in a Tramore beginners' chase last time (2m6f, good); won here over hurdles on seasonal return/stable debut in May (2m4f, good to yielding) off 104; could go well. |

Rated 100 after five runs over fences; the latest of those was a positive third in a Roscommon handicap chase in August last year (2m6f, yielding) off 99; made winning stable debut in a Killarney handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good to yielding); tailed off at Ballinrobe last time; most experienced of these but others probably more talented. |

Point winner whose best run came at Sligo in June when beaten 3.5l into third in extended 3m1f hurdle; not at same level in two subsequent outings over hurdles; back over fences now, but previous five starts in this sphere were moderate; blinkers on. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 125y |
10st 0lb |
A win and five seconds from eight starts over fences; effectively up 6lb for his latest run at Listowel, where he was a well-backed favourite in his bid to follow up last year's win in 2m3f handicap; previously was still in contention when departing two out in race won by Miners Bridge at Killarney; markedly up in grade. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Won this race last year off 5lb lower, just getting up late; has mostly run over hurdles since and some decent efforts; unlucky to unseat back over fences at Killarney last time and can be a big player. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |

Consistent gelding; placed on all four starts off a lower mark over hurdles since a handicap chase win off 98 at Listowel in September (2m4f, good to yielding), form has worked out well; back over fences now on his first run since January; never runs a bad race. |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |
