14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle and dual chase winner was poor in this sphere last time after a couple of falls chasing; isn't well-treated at these weights. |

11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner at Thurles last year over 2m5f; not badly treated but probably in need of a confidence boost after two falls over fences; cheekpieces now as well as usual tongue-tie. |

11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner at Thurles last year over 2m5f; pulled-up here on final 2025 start and fell at the first on return lately at Navan; seems best watched for now. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 9lb |
Won off 110 at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; best run since on latest at Kilbeggan when a 2.75l second off 115 (20.5f, yielding); up 2lb for that and has placed at around this trip over hurdles; in the mix. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 4lb |
Point winner didn't win in 10 hurdle starts but was often placed, including at this track; off the mark over fences when winning at Limerick in May; beaten 14l off this mark over C&D last time and needs more. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 38y |
10st 11lb |
Won under a positive ride at Limerick (2m4f, good) on return from a break in May off 5lb lower; wasn't suited by the drop to 2m1f at Tipperary on latest; runner up twice here over hurdles so would be no surprise were he to rebound stepped back up in trip. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 2lb |
First reserve; Punchestown maiden hurdle winner broke his three-year winless streak when successful on the Flat at Sligo 12 days ago (1m3f, yielding to soft); not certain to back it up. |
|
|
1st 8 (5) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
9st 7lb |
No success since a Punchestown maiden hurdle win (2m, heavy) three years ago; Downpatrick third in March was more encouraging but of limited appeal back on the Flat here. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
10st 3lb |
Is 0-12 under Rules; best efforts have come over hurdles at this venue; not a bad effort on chase debut at Tipperary in July; soft ground may not have suited on latest at Ballinrobe; could do better back at this track. |

10st 5lb |
Won a novice handicap chase at Sligo (17.5f, gd-yld) early this month from 5lb out of the handicap; narrowly denied in follow up bid at Tramore (15.5f, yielding) off 3lb higher; up another 2lb and this is a deeper race but she's in form and this trip suits; go well again. |
