Much improved second of 14 over C&D last month; was still beaten 10l, however, so place chance but needs to find a bit more to win off the same mark. |

Promise in maidens and again when keeping on for sixth at Naas in December (2m, sft-hvy); unseated after a mistake at the fifth on return from a break at Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) 18 days ago when just 5-1; can't discount. |

Dual chase winner but hasn't won since taking a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in 2024; was second to Femme Magnifique at Tramore and the ground was maybe too soft at Roscommon since; could rebound and be a player. |

Dual-purpose; bolted up in Sligo maiden hurdle last month (2m2f, good); previously soundly beaten over this C&D (gd-yld), extending his Flat record to 0-11; 3lb lower now but others appeal more. |

Decent form near the end of the season before last, winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and placed in a handicap at the Punchestown festival; fair form in handicaps last summer; subsequent form raises doubts. |

AW winner at two in Britain, but has never raced here; won a claiming hurdle two runs back, but trip looks too sharp as well as the query about him on Polytrack. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |

Fair hurdles form in 2022; has done most of his racing on the Flat in recent years; second at Clonmel last September has been the only bright spot in that sphere since a 2024 Chester win; found his level when winning in this category at Wexford 13 days ago; should be the mix again. |

Three-time hurdles winner; endured a dismal spell of form in the first half of the year, when pulled up in three consecutive chase starts; signs of a recovery over hurdles recently. |

Scored one of his three hurdle starts over C&D back in 2023; lost his form over fences last season but a better run in a Wexford claiming hurdle last time; blinkers retained; needs a bit more. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |

Returned from break with two underwhelming chase runs this season and unseated rider when back over hurdles in plating company 12 days ago; tricky to weigh up at present but represents respected Irish stable. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
10st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; won a novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April last year and posted some good placed efforts subsequently; form tailed off in August and his two chase runs this year leave a lot to be desired; best treated at these weights but must return to somewhere near his best after just a six day break since his last run. |

Sole hurdles win came over a year ago at Clonmel (2m4f) off 111; tried several times in claiming hurdles this year, notably C&D second in May, reportedly found to have blood in nostrils last month when just fair fifth in Downpatrick handicap; has to be treated with some caution but down to a nice mark. |
