4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Ex-Gavin Cromwell 7yo; 0-10 since his last win at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June 2025 but went close off 1lb higher at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) in February; returns from a break having had wind surgery and he's not ruled out. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Another ex-Gavin Cromwell inmate who secured narrow win over fences at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in June; 0-5 for this yard but February's close second of five at Musselburgh (2m, good to soft) on penultimate start was a creditable effort; stable in fine form. |

20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 150y |
10st 10lb |
Has been hit and miss since winning over fences at Wexford last year and was disappointing when last seen at Kilbeggan in June so has to return to his best; second of three runners for yard. |
22/1 |

9th 5 |
15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Has run well but has ultimately come up short in three runs since winning at Wexford last July (2m, good); far from disgraced but still beaten 18l on latest in premier handicap at Aintree (2m, gd-sft) and same mark now; longer trip needs to eke out more (good chance will stay on breeding). |
11/1 |

5th 11 |
9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Won Wexford handicap (2m, good) last July on third chase start and returned to form when third of 20 at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; needs a career best today but this unexposed 6yo represents a top Irish trainer (who saddles three) and could yet have more to offer. |

11st 10lb |
Scored over hurdles and fences for Eric McNamara in Ireland last summer; well beaten on both runs for his current yard recently, though he faced a very stiff task in the Plate at Cheltenham last time; back hurdling now with something to prove. |

11st 12lb |
Modest strike-rate of 3-40 over fences, although one of his wins came here; latest success was in August 2024 at Kilbeggan; showed more promise returned to there last time (2m5f, yielding) when a distant third of 11; he's now 19lb below his last winning mark, but must build on his last run. |

Modest strike-rate of 3-39 over fences with last win coming over C&D in August 2024; jumped badly when pulled up on final two starts in 2025; possibly needed the run at Limerick ten days ago. |

Six chase wins including this race in 2023; has been regressive this year and was poor at Galway last time; coming back here may help, though. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 2lb |
Three-time winning hurdler; 2-13 in chases, his last win coming over 2m6f (good) at Thurles in January 2025 off 9lb higher; hinted at a return to form when staying on for a remote fourth at Wexford latest (2m, good); on a dangerous mark and this longer trip will suit. |

10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |
12/1 |
|
4th 10 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |
11/2 |

4th 4 |
29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

Veteran 4-time chase winner; ran with credit over timber at Sligo in July but lacklustre efforts twice, including back over fences last month; still above highest winning mark and easy to look elsewhere. |

Veteran six-time winner; Veteran is rated 10lb lower than over fences; second at Sligo last time gives him a slight edge over Pahlavi; this looks like a stronger race. |

Likes a sharp 2m and good ground; first past the post against useful rival at Killarney in October and better for recent comeback; 2lb wrong and ground may not be dry enough. |
