11st 2lb |
Has won five claiming hurdles this year (including one over C&D) plus a handicap chase; trounced Rich Belief and Allo Al Khawaneej at Bellewstown in August; obvious prospects in another race that keeps him in his comfort zone; Kevin Healy has a 5-7 record with him. |

10st 12lb |
One of two runners for yard; has won four claiming hurdles this year plus a handicap chase; tailed-off in a Galway handicap hurdle last time after making mistakes but has to be respected back in this grade on these terms. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
11st 8lb |
Has been making hay in claiming hurdles this year and has won five of his last seven starts, most recently over this trip at Roscommon last month; front-runner back in handicap company now and interesting to see if he can be as competitive off what appears a high enough mark. |

Won this race last year but has been mostly below form this year over hurdles and fences; is still 3lb above last year's winning mark so has to return to best. |

Five career wins include this race in 2024 (off 101) and 2m6f handicap chase at this fixture last year; light campaign this year, pick being Roscommon claiming hurdle second, most recently beaten when unseating two out in 3m Galway handicap hurdle; has to be respected given 10yo's record here. |

Record of 1-16 over hurdles; won at Galway (22.5f, yielding) last October; modest form this year but creditable effort when seventh of 20 at Galway (16.5f) latest and is a player tackling this longer trip. |

Ended a near three year losing streak with a comfortable success in a Roscommon handicap hurdle on Monday; mandatory penalty matches his official penalty; good claims again as the stable have caught fire at this time of the year before. |

Not much to shout about in two point-to-point runs and moderate efforts under rules as well, including in opening two handicap runs; makes stable debut in first-time cheekpieces but work to do at these weights. |

11st 12lb |
Second runner for yard; 1-20 over hurdles; heavy defeats in both chases and has joined John McConnell after a 20l fourth in a Bellewstown claiming hurdle last month; probably best watched on stable/handicap chase debut. |

One of two for trainer; best of nine hurdle runs came when runner-up in a Clonmel maiden over 2m4f last autumn on good ground; beaten when fell next time and has been tailed off in two runs this season; doesn't come out the best at the weights and hasn't run anywhere near his rating recently. |
