2nd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 40y |
10st 12lb |
Hurdles winner; off the mark at 19th attempt chasing at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April when forcing tactics adopted; well-backed for valuable Punchestown handicap chase next time but trailed in last of the finishers; 153 days off; this trip looks sharp; 8lb lower hurdles mark. |

10st 0lb |
Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |

Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences in 18 starts but ran a fine race at Clonmel last time over nearly 3m; stepping up in trip will be a help and can be involved off the same mark. |

Looked set to win over fences last time at Limerick when the saddle slipped on the run-in, which would have been his first score; has a chance if as good over hurdles today. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |

0-28 under rules and 0-8 in chases but has run well in defeat on occasion in this sphere; decent fourth at Leopardstown (21.5f, yielding) in March; 8l second at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; modest fifth at Perth latest; needs to find more to get his head in front. |

27-race maiden; last two efforts were respectable, including when runner-up at Down Royal (3m2f, good; beaten 8l) over a month ago; others make more appeal for win purposes. |

11st 2lb |
Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly at Wexford (2m3f) last month and easily followed up off 5lb higher at this course; returns to hurdling off 19lb lower mark compared to chase rating; must have a big chance. |

Point winner who was struggling over hurdles when returning from a long absence but has fared much better in two starts in handicap chases, beaten 10l into fourth over 3m2f at Down Royal 55 days ago; drop in trip sure to suit and chance. |

Maiden placed in all three maiden hurdle runs for Gordon Elliott; disappointing in a six-race chase campaign; tongue-tie failed to help on stable debut at Listowel; one positive is that Danny Mullins sticks with him. |

11st 7lb |
Winner of Tramore beginners chase (2m5f, soft); bounced back after a couple of underwhelming runs when beaten a neck off 2lb lower mark at Tramore two starts ago; probably did too much too soon at same track lto; one of the more likely contenders; stays this trip. |

By a useful sire and related to plenty of winners; runner-up in two points for Colin Bowe before making 80,000GBP at the sales in December; represents a top yard and should be capable of making her presence felt; market support would be significant. |

A 134-rated hurdler but struggled badly over fences last winter, and was well beaten back on the Flat in a 1m4f Gowran handicap last month (first-time visor now replaced by blinkers; regularly wears a tongue-tie); he'd be a surprise winner. |

Shed the maiden tag on fourth chase start in a Down Royal handicap last month (3m2f, good); 5lb rise for that seems fair but this is a much tougher race and has to prove effectiveness on softer ground. |
