11st 7lb |
All three hurdle wins have come at this venue at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; best run this year when just failing to get up over C&D last month (good); found the competition too hot at Galway; now blinkered for the first time after a tame effort here 13 days ago. |

All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track. |

11st 5lb |
A dual C&D winner, his trainer's local track; last year's form also included a second placing behind Cornmarket over C&D; probably needed the run here in May, and was much improved when winning in June; up 5lb for that; deserves respect. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y |

Won over C&D last year but has been hit and miss since (best run in that time was also here); has to be considered due to his record at this venue. |

11st 12lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles, the latest at Clonmel last November off 3lb lower (3m, soft); pulled up on latest but has run well here before so could rebound; place shout. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 2lb |
Won at Clonmel in November off 3lb lower; bounced back to form after three poor runs with a 5l third of 10 over C&D 17 days ago (1.5l behind Toor Khov); not guaranteed to back that effort up but place claims at least if he does. |

Durable veteran has won twice at this venue; back in form at Kilbeggan recently after a dismal spell that saw him fail to complete in four consecutive races; eight-time winner remains capable when on song. |
14/1 |

3rd 5 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 50y |
10st 6lb |
Might have appreciated the three month break when returning to some sort of form in a 3m1f handicap hurdle here last month; could run well but others look that bit more likely. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Just one win in 24, and Ffos Las near-miss on second outing for current handler likely owed something to the drop to 0-105 company (3m, heavy); limitations exposed again since and this is tougher still. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland where she was effective on good ground; conditions were heavy when going close at Ffos Las a month ago (3m) and she travelled strongly deep into that race; possibilities off 4lb higher. |
4/1 |

2nd 5 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Had plenty of racing in Ireland, winning just the once; made a quiet start for this yard at Chepstow but in a Class 3 handicap over 2m3f and this is easier; should handle the ground and has form over this far. |

10st 8lb |
Three-time winner but nothing since March 2024 when he won a heavy ground handicap chase at Limerick off 94 (3m1f); wasn't shaping like a winner in waiting towards the end of last season; needs to find his form but perhaps the break has done him good. |

1-28 over hurdles, that sole win was achieved in this race last year; struggled here last month in a race in which Cornmarket was second; much more like it when chasing home easy winner Strong Contender at Wexford; could go close now |
8/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
11yo is 1-27 over hurdles, the win coming at Sligo in August last year off 4lb higher (3m2f, good); okay fifth on seasonal return at Kilbeggan in June (3m1f, good to yielding) but was tailed off at Sligo last time (3m2f, good); others preferred. |
33/1 |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |

One of two for trainer; sole success in 26 hurdle starts came over C&D in August off 6lb lower when winning by 15l (good); should come on for creditable fifth on return at Kilbeggan. |

10st 8lb |
Now 0-10 over hurdles but ran well before fading into third at Navan in December (3m1f, soft to heavy); failed to back that up when tailed off at Ayr; this trip looks a bit short; cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 1f 80y |
10st 9lb |
Showed some ability in bumpers last year without winning; hasn't really kicked on over hurdles but was keeping on over 2m7f at Killarney last time; this trip should suit and can be a player. |
4/1 |
