11st 5lb |
Dual winner over hurdles, landed handicap 29 days ago off 102 decisively by 5.5l; two runs over fences, distant fourth in good beginners' chase at Thurles before runner-up in Listed mares company, albeit well held; big run anticipated back up in trip. |

Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore on chase debut; clear of the third when no match for a warm favourite over C&D 16 days ago; could be hard to beat now. |

Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore 25 days ago on chase debut; definite chance again for in-form trainer. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 5lb |
Gained third hurdles victory when landing handicap off 100 at Down Royal in March; good effort off same mark over fences when 3.5l second to Butty O Brien at Wexford 35 days ago; needs improvement back in a beginners', but in good form. |

Was gaining her third career hurdles win when returning to form at Down Royal last month, taking advantage of reduced mark and drop in grade over 2m5f (Rajjnatin third); 0-5 chasing, though was going okay when brought down three from home in 2m5f Fairyhouse handicap; 3lb lower here so respected. |

Going okay when brought down on her penultimate start in a Fairyhouse handicap chase but didn't build on that back over hurdles here latest; moving back up in trip a plus and down in grade so not fully discounted. |

5lb lower when winning a handicap hurdle in March; enjoys good ground and ran well for a long way on recent chase debut at Kilbeggan (2m3f, yielding); this trip likely suits him better and has possibilities in the new headgear. |

Sole win came in 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in March, decent effort off 5lb higher at Clonmel next time before unseating after three out 16 days ago at Punchestown; enjoys good ground and being patiently ridden; chase debut; has the hurdle rating to be on the shortlist. |

A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

Runner-up in two maiden hurdles this year, although the value of the form is questionable; well beaten over fences on his last two starts, prominent before weakening from two out at this venue last time; definite chance in a race of this standard |

Point winner whose sole win in 23 starts under rules came in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last May; not shown much this year until chase debut at Tramore last time, falling two out when still in contention (Drop A Threat fourth); should build on that. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Wide-margin point winner who hasn't fulfilled that potential in seven starts, six of them over hurdles; fourth on chase debut at Tramore 25 days ago, arguably flattered; similar standard race here down in trip; likely to come good at some point for top connections, but becoming expensive to follow. |

Ten-race maiden over hurdles but some good efforts in defeat last year in maidens, most notably when second at Roscommon in August; returned from break at Bellewstown 27 days ago, pulled up before last; needs improvement on chase debut up in trip, but not out of it on pick of form. |

Six-race maiden but some decent runs in defeat, including back-to-back runner-up finishes on last two starts; best run was at Roscommon when a lot went wrong (interference, mistake, hung), and he was still a 1.25l second; this is the longest trip he has tackled under rules. |
