11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |

Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Very solid dual purpose performer; campaigned on the Flat and over fences this year, winning the Cork Derby and second in a Kilbeggan beginners chase; reverts back to hurdles with the stable in cracking form and makes obvious appeal. |
6/1 |

4th 1 (2) |
20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
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. |
5/1 |

5th 7 |
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. |

Point winner has only had six runs under rules; promising Kilbeggan chasing debut but not as good twice since; however, can do better again now entering handicaps. |
10/1 |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Winning pointer rated just 90 over hurdles but was an encouraging 6.5l third on his chase debut, keeping on over 2m4f (yielding) at Kilbeggan and earning an RPR of 117; weakened when upped to 25.5f back there latest and now drops markedly back in trip; this may be too sharp a test. |

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. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
By far the most talented of these over hurdles (rated 140) and he jumped accurately before tiring on his chase debut at Kilbeggan over 2m4f; nowhere near as good dropped back to 2m (good) at Wexford on latest and questions to answer now. |
100/30 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

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 |

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

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. |

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 |
11st 12lb |
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 |

Ex-Irish 4yo who made winning stable debut at Perth (2m4f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; recent defeat in a valuable Flat handicap is easily excused, and he could still have more to offer for Nick Scholfield. |

In contention when running out at the final fence at Kilbeggan in June on final outing for Joseph O'Brien and he made a winning stable debut in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over fences at Perth (2m4f, good) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise and he's well treated on the pick of last year's Flat form; he's an intriguing contender who could run well. |

In contention when running out at the last at Kilbeggan (2m4f) in June on final start for Joseph O'Brien, before leaving him for 50,000gns; cheekpieces added for this third start over fences (stable debut) and there's no denying that this former pretty useful Flat-racer possesses a fair chunk of ability. |
