26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; signed off last season with a solid effort in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, gd-fm); may have needed the run over an inadequate 1m6f here last month; sharper now and moves up in trip; beaten in this last year off 8lb lower but respected nonetheless. |

9st 13lb |
Drew 8l clear in Cesarewitch trial at Newmarket in September (2m2f, good); couldn't follow up in the real thing when sixth of 19; up 10lb compared to his last win and he has never won after an absence before. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 3lb |
Useful jumper; eighth at 33-1 in last year's Cesarewitch, when never dangerous on soft going and it looks like that surface was not ideal, as he runs far more often on good ground and drew 8l clear over C&D in the Cesarewitch Trial three weeks ago; well handicapped with just a 4lb penalty, for trainer who won this with a 7yo in 2022. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
8st 7lb |
Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

11th 1 |
14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 216y |

Four-time Flat winner for Michael Bell, rated 78 at his peak; best form on good/good to firm and has been soundly beaten in three hurdle starts for this stable; potentially interesting if the ground is not too slow. |

Second runner for yard; sole win on Flat came over 1m on AW in 2023 in France; may have needed the run when weakening over 1m6f here (good) on latest last month; ran well over 18.5f in Ulster Cesarewitch last September off 1lb lower; chance stepped back up in trip. |

Dual-purpose sort's sole Flat win came on the AW; best run on turf was a 2l fourth off 1lb lower on latest in the Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal (2m3f, good); may need this after 261 days away; cheekpieces go on. |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |

Winner of a Galway festival handicap off 82 in July (1m5f, yielding), beating a subsequent Group 3 winner; added a hurdles win in a Punchestown maiden in January (2m, soft to heavy); never on terms on return to the Flat at Cork last time when seventh. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 2lb |
One of two for yard that has won two of the last four renewals; useful hurdler was well held on return to the Flat behind Poetic Sound here on latest (1m6f, yielding) but was runner up in this last year on good ground off 1lb higher; dangerous to discount. |

6th 7 (7) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |

Useful on the Flat, although sole win came back in 2024, narrowly beaten here over 2m last summer; equally talented hurdler, but some stiff tasks of late; market likely informative back on the Flat. |

6th 9 |
28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |

One of three for yard; Useful on the Flat; off the mark over hurdles in a C&D maiden in February (sft-hvy); beaten 11.5l when midfield in the Supreme at Cheltenham (when Townend rode) and raced keenly before pulled up in the Fairyhouse Grade 2 won by Koktail Brut latest; overlooked by Townend here. |

Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark. |
100/30 |

1st 6 (1) |
3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |

Won twice over 1m4f in 2024 and began last season in form of his life over 1m6f at Navan, touched off in handicap and fine third in Listed contest; last month's 1m4f Leopardstown comeback run was encouraging, could well improve enough from that to play a major role here back at 1m6f. |

Veteran; talented hurdler a latecomer to the Flat but showed promise in maidens and bolted up on handicap debut in this sphere at Listowel 26 days ago (2m, good); hiked up 9lb for that and this is a deeper race but he can't be discounted. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (4) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |

Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance. |

High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit. |

Showed promise in maidens but first three handicap runs have been pretty underwhelming; beaten 9l at Fairyhouse on latest (1m6f, good); 6lb wrong here; others appeal more. |

7th 9 (8) |
12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |

Showed ability in five maidens last term; faded into seventh on handicap bow/seasonal return at Ballinrobe (1m5f, good to yielding); finished in midfield of 24-runner handicap at the Curragh last month (1m6f, good); not ruled out. |

1m4f Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (gd-yld); promising seasonal reappearance here 33 days ago, staying on for a 5.5l fourth of 24 over 1m6f (2l behind Kilmeaden in third); well worth a go at this trip on that evidence and mark unchanged; cheekpieces added. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third in a quality Navan Listed race the time before; heavy ground a possible excuse when disappointing off top weight at Listowel in September; gelded since and he went close on his seasonal return last year. |

Got off the mark in a 1m4f Fairyhouse maiden in June having been third to the classy Carmers in a Navan Listed race over 1m5f the time before; the form of that race is strong and he can go well on return if handling this ground even under a big weight. |

Veteran has notched up nine wins over jumps but is 1-9 on the Flat and hasn't won in this sphere since 2024; however, he was a close third in this last season off 1lb higher on good ground so he's not dismissed; 1lb wrong. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 136y |
11st 12lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles (rated 144); did okay over fences last year and was fair third over 3m2f on his return to action at Killarney; stays 3m well, so this trip looks too short, plus he was disappointing when favourite for last year's Mayo National. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |

Eight hurdle wins including once at this track; got off the mark over fences in a Kilbeggan beginners' last year before beaten 13l into third in this race; 2lb lower today but can go well fresh so could be involved. |
