1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 12lb |
No closer than 20l in five defeats over fences and was pulled up back hurdling last time; testing ground was no excuse as he enjoys the mud. |

11st 5lb |
C&D winner off 94 in December 2024; enjoys the mud; jumping issues evident in five poor chase attempts this season; needs to do better but a return to hurdling should help. |

11st 7lb |
Won over 2m6f at this festival a year ago, when her yard had a beano; that hasn't been repeated this time around; second in a chase here in June, and another fair fencing effort since. |

11st 1lb |
Fine run in a 2m3f Listowel beginners' on penultimate when a close runner-up; didn't back it up over C&D last time when beaten 26l; 1lb drop not enough to tempt. |

5th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 11lb |
Won a 2m handicap chase at Punchestown in May on stable debut; has been placed in four of her six races since then; just in front of last week's Clonmel winner Hopeful Hero when second at Down Royal in August; no match for Sea Of Doubt over fences at Downpatrick; fair prospects of reversing form now. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 5lb |
1-7 over hurdles and fine run at Down Royal on latest (17.5f, good) when a 3l second of 14 off 97; close third here on chase debut back in May (19.5f, gd-yld) and going left-handed may not have suited on last chase start at Listowel (hung and jumped right); big chance. |
9/2 |

2nd 15 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |
10st 12lb |
Won off 11lb lower at Punchestown in May (2m3f, good); ran okay in a couple of chases subsequently but pretty well held off revised mark back over hurdles the last twice; tongue tie needs to eke out more. |

11st 6lb |
His best hurdles form for Charles Byrnes seems long gone and he's now regressive, pulled up over fences at Killarney last time; easily opposed off higher hurdles mark. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |
10st 12lb |
Maiden who has some decent placed form, most notably at Limerick (2m, soft) in April when beaten 1.75l into third; well-held third last twice, including over C&D; step back up in distance should suit; usually ridden off the pace. |
13/2 |

3rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden who seems to handle any ground, placed on heavy at Limerick in the spring and third over 2m4f at Kilbeggan last month on good ground; not sure if drop in trip will suit but respected. |

Maiden whose three best efforts have come on testing ground at Limerick; has a race in him, but has to prove he acts on this quicker ground. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner who went 0-6 over hurdles; led early but ended up tailed off in a 2m4f Limerick handicap on recent chase debut; he does have some ability and this is a desperately weak race. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced 9yo; best effort in course handicap hurdle on latest when fourth of 13 (19.5f, soft to heavy; the third has won since); won a point so could make a chaser; market can guide. |
11/1 |
