4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |
10st 0lb |
Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; also good second in 2m Navan handicap chase, possibly found 3m4f stamina test too much at Punchestown latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |

10st 5lb |
Improved dramatically from a low base to record four wins in 2025 including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October; following month, handled heavy ground well in 2m4f Gowran handicap hurdle, clear along with the progressive Cousin Kate; second in a 2m chase at Navan in November; down the field over hurdles at the DRF; a big question mark about her stamina. |

In tremendous form in 2025, four wins including 2m Tramore handicap chase in October and, the following month, when handling heavy ground well in 2m4f Gowran handicap hurdle, clear along with the progressive Cousin Kate; second in a chase latest; leading contender. |

10st 2lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; fair form last year highlighted by a handicap chase win at Sligo in October, followed by two seconds; down the field on both starts this season; 11lb lower than over fences. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 0lb |
More highly rated over fences than hurdles, winning 2m2f Sligo novice last autumn and touched off in 2m handicaps at Tramore and Down Royal; returned from eight-month absence when never counting in 2m handicap hurdle here last month, expected to come on for that. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |
11st 2lb |
Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |

5th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 10lb |
A 17-race maiden whose best efforts have been at Tramore; no impact over fences this season; better when making a lot of the running back over hurdles at Downpatrick last time; faded into fourth, Victoria Kesia among those behind. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 12lb |
A 16-race maiden and her best efforts have been at Tramore; hasn't shown much over fences this year, although 11-2 chance at Tramore on latest when hampered by a loose horse after three out when in the lead; not discounted. |
10/1 |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
10st 12lb |
A 15-race maiden but her best form has come here; beaten 3.5l into third by well-handicapped rival over C&D in October off 7lb higher; below form three starts this term but she would have a big chance if reproducing October effort. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran whose 11 career wins under all codes include this race in 2024; recent 2m Tramore handicap chase third his best run for a while, but more needed here in a deeper race. |
12/1 |

3rd 3 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Veteran who is 12-115 under all codes; five-time course winner, four times over jumps; dual C&D winner, latest 12 months ago off 7lb higher; much below best last two vists here but dangerous to completely write off in a winnable race at a venue he loves. |
9/1 |

6th 8 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
114-race veteran, winner of 11 races; best known as a four-time course jumps winner; also C&D winner; most recent success came over fences here last October; well below best on his last three visits, years may be catching up, but premature to write off. |

Three-time Flat winner; last success was in 2021; hard to take any encouragement from his Flat/hurdles form this year. |

Three-time Flat winner is just 1-32 over hurdles; fourth at Wexford in April but has been below that twice since and others make more appeal. |

Veteran showed that he retains some ability when fourth in a 2m3f handicap here last month; however, that was his first time to make the frame since a Naas second in December 2024. |

Stayed on strongly to win a point at Boulta in December; half-sister to a bumper winner and dam was a bumper winner; ought to go well and her point experience could be key. |
