11st 12lb |
Ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last season including at this meeting; got off the mark in a Clonmel maiden last autumn and then took a Naas beginners' chase, easily beating Jacob's Ladder; just denied in the Grade 1 Racing Post Novice Chase at Christmas and put up a respectable effort in the Champion Chase last time; can be involved. |

11st 10lb |
Very short on chasing experience, having raced just twice in this sphere, but by the same token looks open to any amount of further improvement despite being a 9yo (latecomer to this scene); close second, clear of remainder, in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) when attempting to follow up his comfortable success in a Naas race that's worked out well; has shown good progress for current yard and looks interesting pitched into open company instead of bashing heads with similarly unexposed rivals in the Arkle. |

11st 12lb |
Placed in nine of his 11 races, including all three bumpers and his first three maiden hurdle starts; slotted into handicaps effectively last season; twice in the money at Leopardstown before set a tough task in the County Hurdle, stands out in this company on his Punchestown festival third behind the British-trained pair Ascending Lark and Wilful. |

Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

11st 12lb |
Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

Poor completion rate in points; weak hurdles form; huge price when pulled up at Limerick on Sunday; cheekpieces on now. |

Maiden in points; some promise on hurdle debut but was poor when last seen and best watched. |

Regressive maiden over hurdles did show some spark in points early in career but still isn't easy to fancy on chasing debut. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |
10st 8lb |
Showed a bit in bumpers last year; never on terms when keeping on for sixth of 12 finishers at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding); down 1lb and he's well treated based on his early form. |

Showed a bit in bumpers last year and was running okay at Clonmel 81 days ago before being brought down, albeit was on the retreat; well-treated based on early form if he can build on that up in trip. |

Bumper form was okay; little of note hurdling until Limerick fourth in May (2m6f, soft); weakened over 3m latest; headgear and top jockey. |

Pulled up in opening two handicaps and well beaten at Clonmel in May; however, he showed a lot more when fourth of 12 at Limerick last time; needs to continue on the up. |

11st 4lb |
Left previous modest efforts behind when staying on to finish 4l second behind a Willie Mullins-trained favourite at Tramore (2m, soft) last November; backed up that promising effort with a third placing in a Cork novice event in January (yielding-to-soft); could feature if showing similar form on better ground after a good break. |

Placed in three bumpers, moderate Tramore third the best of three attempts in maiden hurdles; of limited appeal. |

0-11 in bumpers but not beaten far in some of them and ran okay in maiden hurdle last time; his experience should come in handy. |
