25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 13lb |
Had some good form last spring and same again this time around; hurdles winner in March, third to Supreme Jet at Wexford and good third of 20 to exciting stablemate in 2m handicap at Punchestown festival; doesn't win often, though. |

10st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who got off the mark over hurdles here last month in decisive fashion, going clear on the run-in over 2m (soft); second in this race last year (Krabat third) off 7lb higher so obvious claims (1lb wrong). |

Three-time winner has slipped down to her last successful mark and drops in grade after a decent fourth at Downpatrick when last seen in June; don't discount. |

Progressed really well in the early part of last season, rising 30lb in the ratings, stemming from three wins and two seconds; well beaten lately and mark is starting to edge back down; cheekpieces. |

15th Oct 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Useful on the Flat and over hurdles and he ran pretty well when second at Downpatrick in August on his sole chase start; he's also the only one who has run recently but he was tailed off on the Flat at Naas only on Sunday, and others in this race appeal as having greater potential. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
9st 8lb |
Rated 129 over hurdles and satisfactory chase debut when runner-up at Downpatrick last month; 6-28 on the Flat, his last win in this code gained at Dundalk (2m) in January 2025; inexperienced rider aboard; runner-up in this race in 2024 but only sixth last year. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 129 over hurdles and probably ran to about that mark when runner-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle earlier this month; makes his chasing debut here and clearly respected if his jumping holds up. |

Progressive handicap hurdler last season took his mark to 125 after wins over 2m4f at Navan and Fairyhouse (heavy); 2m trip inadequate here on final start in March; upped in trip for chase debut and could go well if taking to fences. |

Five-time winning hurdler, including in a claiming event at this venue; not at his best for some time; well beaten in three Flat maidens this term. |

Five-time winning hurdler hasn't been at his best for some time; 17l behind in seventh at Kilbeggan last time; drop into 0-100 company for the first time may spark a revival. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 12y |
11st 4lb |
Has become hard to predict but travelled a bit better than he often does when fifth in a first-time visor at Ballinrobe; cheekpieces back on now and trip looks too sharp. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 100y |
10st 2lb |
First reserve; won this last year off 9lb higher and then went close at Uttoxeter in a handicap chase the following month but has completely lost form since; yard amongst winners recently but he's hard to fancy on recent showings; new headgear combo needs to spark. |

Four-time hurdles winner had been expected (9-2) to leave recent poor form behind upong encountering better ground at Down Royal over fences 11 days ago but the revival never arrived; questions to answer now. |

10st 2lb |
Three hurdling wins, two of them over this trip and was second at last year's November meeting in Cheltenham; also ran well when third over 2m2f here at last year's festival; returns from chasing and has a decent record when fresh. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
11st 12lb |
Added a third hurdles win at Naas in February (2m, heavy); slipped up early at Wexford next time; seventh of ten completed finishers for his chase debut at Kilbeggan last time (2m7f, good to yielding); a bit to find on hurdles ratings against these. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 70y |
