15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge. |

11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins came on good ground at about 2m; yet to score in six starts over fences but rated 11lb higher in this sphere courtesy of some good runs in defeat, including when a 15l fourth in the Kerry National at Listowel in September (3m, yielding); tailed off when pulled up at Ascot (3m, good) when last seen in November; top-rated over fences and goes well fresh. |

10st 0lb |
A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Cracking dual-purpose 9yo has won four hurdles and gained most valuable of six Flat wins at Cork in May; lacks a bit of scope for this game, as shown when a long way off Chichester Park at Kilbeggan; better at the latter venue since, but was still low and left at a few fences. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Verastile dual-purpose sort who's scored four times over hurdles and six on the Flat, including Cork Derby last month on soft; latest hurdle win at Punchestown (23.5f, good) a year ago off 115; ran just okay when well held fifth over fences 15 days ago here; needs a fair step forward on that. |

Returned from the point-to-point circuit to run a decent race in a beginners' chase over 2m4f here last month; likely to stay well and could run into a place. |

Smart five-time winner over hurdles and ran well in two useful handicaps in May; 3-1, jumped well out in front before tiring on chase debut over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; could be hard to beat over this trip. |
5/2 |

5th 6 |
15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start. |

Took this in good style 12 months ago; lightly raced since but advanced his form after nine months off when second of ten in 2m1f handicap at Killarney 15 days ago; up 4lb here but this Irish challenger rates a player. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle win came on very testing ground at Navan in February (2m); didn't count on last month's chase debut at Kilbeggan, but entitled to come on for the experience. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, coming in easy success in very testing ground at Navan in February; consistent in maidens and handicaps prior to to being tailed off at Cork 71 days ago; rated 123 over hurdles and should have place claims if transferring form to fences. |
7/1 |

Galileo 5yo is a dual Flat winner and landed Limerick maiden hurdle last year; would have needed first run of the year when never a factor on chase debut at Kilbeggan; jumped okay but probably best watched here. |

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. |

Looked a nice prospect when landing a 3yo maiden hurdle at Cork in December; down the field when well-fancied in Fred Winter at Cheltenham; two poor Flat runs since and jumping let him down when fifth at Ballinrobe 21 days ago; should improve plenty for that but needs to up in trip. |

Dual-purpose; won a maiden hurdle at Cork in December (2m1f, sft-hvy); has run well on this sort of ground on the level; failed to beat a rival in 9.5f handicap here on latest; not an obvious candidate for this discipline on breeding. |

Curragh maiden winner for Jim Bolger last season (6f) and pick of form for current yard when runner-up in 1m2f handicap at same venue; useful hurdler (won at Cork on testing ground) but well held in Fred Winter; Flat return was scuppered when badly hampered early on in Curragh premier handicap last month; drops in grade here with visor tried. |
