24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 44y |
10st 4lb |
Gained breakthrough win in decisive fashion at Wexford last month (2m4f, good); raised 6lb and came up short in follow-up bid over the same C&D; this is a stronger race so work to do off the same mark. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 6 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark in decisive fashion over C&D 16 days ago; a 6lb rise for that 5.5l win seems lenient and he may be hard to stop if turning up here in a similar mood. |

11st 4lb |
Won three handicap hurdles on varying ground in 2023; good runs in 2024 but below form last year; improved on Punchestown return to be beaten 11.5l into fifth at Cork 13 days ago; holds each-way claims but needs more off this mark. |

Three-time hurdle winner in 2023; some good runs in the meantime - including over fences - and perhaps needed last month's comeback run at Punchestown (it looked that way). |

10st 4lb |
Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-31 record over hurdles illustrates, but both wins have been over this C&D, including off this mark last summer; penultimate Wexford third was a good effort, 3m2f may have been too far last time; place claims back at optimum trip. |
8/1 |

4th 8 |
10th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 194y |
10st 2lb |
Not the easiest to win with, as her 2-30 record over hurdles illustrates; both wins at Sligo over 20.5f, but did run a cracker in this last year when beaten 4.25l into second and she's 5lb lower now; yard in form and she shaped well at Wexford on latest; big chance. |

Good second in Naas maiden hurdle in December; looked on a workable mark the last twice at Cork (3m, gd) and Ballinrobe (2m6f, gd) when third and fourth; drop in trip likely to suit and can figure. |
9/2 |
|
4th 11 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 3lb |
Best run in maidens an 8l second of 16 at Naas in December (2m3f, sft-hvy); handled quicker ground when a 4.75l third in second handicap start at Cork (24.5f, good) 16 days ago; this shorter trip will suit on the evidence of that run; in the mix. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
10th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 80y |
11st 11lb |
Best maiden effort an 8l third at Naas (2m3f, sft-hvy) when shaped as though further would suit; pulled up on handicap debut at Thurles (2m7f, soft) in November; capable of better but good ground a query. |

13-race maiden but has shaped well on a few occasions, most notably when fourth at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) in March; not at same level of late, never counting at Galway latest; much more needed. |

12-race maiden but has shaped well on a few occasions, most notably when fourth at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) in March; recent Wexford effort in first-time cheekpieces was okay, blinkers now tried. |

13-race maiden but has shaped well on a few occasions, most notably when fourth at Leopardstown (2m2f, soft) in March; filled same spot on last hurdles run at Cork on good in May; below that over fences last twice; chance back over hurdles with trip to suit in first-time cheekpieces. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |
11st 3lb |
Had run well several times in defeat before finally off the mark 11 days ago in 2m4f Wexford handicap, appreciating good ground to win going away in beating a strong favourite (pair clear); 5lb rise looks quite lenient, so major player if ground remains in his favour. |
4/1 |
|
1st 4 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 50y |
11st 7lb |
0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when runner up in a 2m1f (good) maiden hurdle here; went close off 3lb higher at Galway in October; wide trip when midfield over C&D (good) on latest; not discounted off 2lb lower. |
15/2 |

6th 3 |
23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Some decent efforts placed twice in maidens and went close off 1lb higher when second at Galway (2m1f, y) in October; below form on soft since and fared no better on more suitable ground at Limerick 21 days ago after a break in first-time cheekpieces; needs to come on for that up in trip. |

One of his better efforts came over 2m4f (good) here two weeks ago when a 10l seventh of 14; back up in trip now and down 2lb. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Showed a bit more when seventh in handicap (2m4f, hvy) at Fairyhouse but failed to progress upped to 3m2f next time; dropped another 3lb; bumper form on better ground gives hope conditions can bring improvement down in trip. |

Both wins of 20-race career came over fences back-to-back 18 months ago when landing competitive handicaps at Leopardstown over 2m1f; largely struggled since, pulled up on last two starts; last run over hurdles in October when beaten 16l in novice; up in trip and rated 10lb lower over hurdles; questions attached and yard perhaps holds better claims with Sean Mc. |

One of two runners for these connections; best run when winning a valuable 2m1f Leopardstown handicap chase in 2025; hasn't been as good since, with best runs coming back at that track; questions after pulled-up over C&D last time. |

Breakthrough after some good placed runs over C&D in April, beating Cowper Hall by 2l on good; below form next time but shaped well when beaten 10.5l into third at Listowel 54 days ago; could be more to come in first-time cheekpieces. |
