7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 7lb |
Dual winning hurdler is rated 115 in that sphere; made a positive chasing debut at Ballinrobe last time when third and shaping as though the 2m1f offered by the race was inadequate; can improve but will need to do so radically in this company. |
7/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 5lb |
2-18 over hurdles and rated 115; her wins have come over 2m3f and 2m4f so this trip may be on the sharp side on chase debut; likely best watched. |

3rd Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 40y |
11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in August (2m3f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut at Galway (16.5f, good), doing best work at the finish; this trip more suitable but may not appreciate the forecast rain. |

Three-time Flat winner in Scandinavia (at up to 1m4f) ran well on hurdling debut at Punchestown in 2023; absent for 759 days until March, running okay on second maiden hurdle run; back from another break with tongue-tie tried and upped markedly in trip on handicap hurdle debut. |

Conditions are fine for this veteran; has gone well here before and he's well handicapped but hasn't won since October 2024 and his recent efforts have been well below par; revival needed. |

Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard (both at Sligo) before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe success (2m1f, good); needs to bounce back from a below-par run in a Sligo novice event. |

Off the mark in an ordinary Wexford handicap (2m4f, yielding) in October off 97; consistent since including in her two runs at Fairyhouse last month over 2m4f on heavy ground in which she finished third both times; tired in the closing stages last time, slightly shorter trip may help. |

Showed a good attitude to gain third success over hurdles when holding off Morell River by a neck at Punchestown (23.5f, gd) eight days ago; not an obvious type to follow up but he was 13lb out of the handicap that day so is effectively just 2lb higher here; chance of following up. |

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |
