3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 60y |
11st 2lb |
Smart bumper form and a high-profile recruit to the Elliott yard; by no means disgraced but fell short of market expectations in Grade 1s at the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals, and a similar tale when made favourite for the Galway Hurdle (first-time tongue-tie); that race didn't go entirely to plan and this strong traveller retains potential. |

Smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; best of the Irish in the Supreme Novices', though no threat from the last; faded quite tamely in Grade 1 at Punchestown; retains a good reputation and has been a leading ante-post fancy. |

One of three for yard; smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; didn't get home up the Cheltenham hill in the Supreme last time; this track should suit better; preferred by Kennedy and big chance if cutting out the jumping errors. |

11st 10lb |
Dual AW winner whose Flat turf win came over 1m6f on heavy here last year; posted some good efforts in maiden hurdles last season but didn't appear to stay 2m6f in Ballinrobe handicap on latest; down slightly in trip here and handicapper giving him a chance. |

Dual AW winner whose Flat turf win came over 1m6f on heavy at Listowel last year; posted some good efforts over hurdles last season, notably when third to El Cairos at Thurles; pulled up on last hurdle outing, but not discounted on return to this sphere after a break. |

Dual AW winner whose turf win came over 1m6f on heavy at Listowel last year; back from hurdling campaign last season and stablemate of top-weight may just need this. |

11st 2lb |
Lightly raced for Henry de Bromhead but she signed off for that yard with a maiden win at Clonmel (2m3f, soft; sold on for £10,000); reluctant to race on yard debut at Galway last month, so caution advised. |

Lightly raced for Henry De Bromhead but she signed off for that yard with a maiden win (2m3f, soft; sold on for £10,000); could have more to offer for new yard but lacks a recent run and may prefer softer ground. |

11st 12lb |
Sixth of 17 in valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last April; beaten favourite at Limerick on hurdles debut; not disgraced behind El Cairos at Thurles in January; fair fifth of 16 at Punchestown; considered in a contest lacking depth. |
5/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 179y |

Sixth of 17 in valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last April; didn't build on that when midfield in strong Listowel festival bumper; sent off favourite when disappointing fifth at Limerick on hurdle bow (2m3f, soft to heavy); this demands more. |

Glimmer of ability in point-to-points; good hurdling debut when 1.5l third at Limerick (2m3f, good to yielding); faded into fourth late on at Tramore (2m, soft); probably prefers better ground; place chance. |

Beaten around 7l in fifth when favourite at Ballinrobe last time; won at the same venue in July off 7lb lower than now; Cork run in between was too bad to be true; capable of making his presence felt. |

Beaten a long way in maidens and hasn't counted on opening two handicap efforts, latest when well backed at Killarney in August; may have more to offer judged on recent market support and upped in trip here. |

One of two for trainer; beat Grade 2 winner Kazansky in a Lisronagh point-to-point last year; however, form under rules to date has been underwhelming; may show something now in a handicap. |

Beaten 6l at Naas over this trip on handicap debut but was keen over 2m3f here since while still running well; the drop back to 2m should suit and is on the shortlist. |
