3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Won at Down Royal last time in a tongue-tie, his second win over hurdles; 7lb rise looks plenty but still respected; handles soft so could be fine on this ground. |

11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |

Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Yet to win (0-12 rules) and his form figures over fences (FP8) aren't convincing; that said; he would have at least made the frame but for a final-fence fall at Thurles (2m2f; soft) in February; badly out of sorts on last two starts, so will need the cheekpieces to revitalise. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Running well when falling on his chase debut but pulled up and tailed off in his last two runs in that discipline; returned to hurdles two runs back at Bellewstown and wasn't beaten far, so could feature. |

Placed in five of her last six handicaps, narrowly denied at Limerick (2m3f, soft to heavy) last winter and close at Clonmel in April (2m, soft); no match for winner upped to 2m5f at Tramore later that month; suspicion is she will need soft ground; tongue-tied after a break. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 0y |

Placed in three of her last four races, every chance if a step up in trip does the trick after a recent second placing in a 16-runner 2m contest at Clonmel; more mature now than when fading in the closing stages over C&D last November. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

Maiden has mostly run well this year; beaten just 2l when runner up at Tramore in May; beaten similar distances on last three starts and needs to find a bit more to get her head in front; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn last time. |
9/1 |

4th 13 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

0-21 but some reasons for hope in her runs this season; was a 2l second at Tramore in May (2m, good) and okay efforts at Cork (2m2f, good) when fifth of 23 and when third of ten over C&D last time (good); more needed to win but definite place possibilities. |
