11st 4lb |
Knocking on the door in recent starts; beaten 2.75l when fourth of 16 off this mark in a 0-100 at Fairyhouse on latest; this is harder so the new blinkers will need to eke out more if he is to get his head back in front. |

11st 5lb |
2-6 in points and 0-4 in hunter chases, with all that form at trips between 2m6f and 3m1f; hard to know how he'll fare over this far in his first handicap and there have to be concerns. |

11st 7lb |
Shaped well at Tipperary last May in his first hunter chase; failed to match that form in races at Limerick and Thurles during the winter; form of his point-to-point wins does not amount to much; however, he is sure to know his job coming from this source. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fell and tailed off in his two previous chases in late 2023; lightly raced in the meantime but returns to this discipline after three solid runs over hurdles, all handicaps from 2m1f to 2m4f; likely to go well again if he still fancies fences. |
100/30 |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 20y |

Over four years since he won back-to-back handicap hurdles for Brian Hamilton; lightly raced in recent seasons; bounced back to form on second start for Noel Kelly when second to Kalsman over 2m4f at Down Royal last month; notched another second behind the improving Bella Union over 2m1f at Down Royal on latest; may go one better now. |

Second runner for yard; hurdle winner made a decent chase debut last year but not as good after; well beaten on return but is capable of better. |

11st 9lb |
Good ground hurdles winner shaped with mild promise on chase debut in Thurles beginners' (18.5f, good to yielding) in October; pulled up and tailed off next two starts on heavy; of interest if the ground has good in the description. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |

Won back-to-back handicap hurdles at Wexford last summer; chase form (0-6) lacks substance but she's potentially well in given hurdling exploits. |

Back on his favoured good ground, he won well at Clonmel (2m) and a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world, having been competitive off this mark before. |

Maiden and most of her best form has come at Tramore, running well on chase debut there last October; should come on from seasonal debut effort and has run well here too; considered. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Best two runs of her career have come here; beaten a head in 16.5f (good) handicap hurdle last August; 3.25l third in C&D handicap chase when last seen in October and 1lb lower now; could go well if ready after 232 day absence. |

Won off 6lb lower at Bellewstown last April (20.5f, good); struggled on softer ground in opening two starts this year and good ground at Sligo brought just modest improvement when sent off 11-2 j-fav'; something to prove now. |

Betting Forcast
15/2 Farrokh, 16/1 Keep On Dreaming, 13/2 Justicialism, 20/1 Arctic Piper, 9/1 Quinn The Eskimo, 100/30 Chosen Shant, 7/2 LAmiral Fromentin, 8/1 Kings Son, 12/1 Getaway Henry, 14/1 Only A Dollar, 20/1 Polly Poppins, 20/1 Dunany Point, 14/1 Dontdooddson
Verdict
An intriguing rematch between CHOSEN SHANT and L’Amiral Fromentin, first and second over C&D last month, the former taken to confirm the form on these revised terms. Top-weight Farrokh lacks a recent run but finished second in this race two years ago so any market strength is to be noted, while Justicialism holds claims and King’s Son is a potential improver dropped in trip.
