11st 10lb |
1-9 over fences; hasn't really fired in 2026 and failed to exploit lower hurdles mark at Galway on latest when 28-1; needs to rediscover best. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
10st 8lb |
Both wins have been at around 2m5f, including Kilbeggan beginners' chase last year; just okay run on latest in Wexford handicap hurdle over this trip in May; stamina remains a possible issue. |

Has been mostly chasing in the last year, winning a Kilbeggan beginners' over 2m5f; mightn't have lasted 3m2f last time and this trip back off a lower hurdles mark can suit; chance. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |

Back to form with fine effort under positive ride in big field at Galway on latest; has gone well over this C&D before so obvious chance off the same mark as last time. |
2/1 |

3rd 3 |
28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Two-time winner over timber, including at this venue last September (16.5f, gd-yld); 0-5 over fences but hasn't run badly the last twice (trip too far on latest) and the handicapper is giving him a chance; likes it here and not dismissed. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
12st 1lb |
Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and a Galway handicap over 2m last year; some good chase runs in defeat since, including here; can improve from return effort; major step up in trip, but a player if staying. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 20y |
11st 4lb |
Bumper winner; yet to show much over fences and his second here on latest was an extremely remote one (beaten 70l, just two finished); cheekpieces go on now for handicap chase debut; not easy to make a case for. |
10/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in 2024 but lightly-raced since, latterly for this yard; not a bad chase debut at Punchestown last November but was pulled-up at Kilbeggan 12 days ago so questions to answer. |
8/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |

Bumper winner for Nicky Henderson, but very lightly raced since and overall form does not leave much room for optimism. |

11st 3lb |
Landed a handicap chase at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) off 7lb lower; failed to follow up off revised mark at Limerick and soundly beaten off higher hurdles mark at Galway on latest; a bit to prove for now. |
6/1 |

11th 4 |
29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner at about this trip and won over fences this May; went close off 4lb lower in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in January the last time he was ridden by Anna McGuinness. |
12/1 |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |
12st 1lb |
Dual hurdles winner; gained first chase success at Killarney (20.5f, good to yielding) when keeping on well to score by 0.5l; now 7lb higher but this represents an ease in grade and he's ground versatile. |

11st 11lb |
3-22 over fences (including a 2m win here); back from 114 days off with respectable run at Downpatrick on latest (19.5f, good); sharper for that but probably not much margin for error off current mark. |
100/30 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Three-time chase winner went close over hurdles twice over 2m at Thurles in November on different ground; no impression at Leopardstown over Christmas; unseen since pulled up back over fences at Thurles in February; has won following a similar break before but never from a mark this high, albeit rider's claim helps; trainer also runs Magic Day. |

Is 18lb lower than when winning at Navan in February 2023 but he's lost his way and no signs of a revival when pulled up at Killarney on latest. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Won a pair of chases for Charles Byrnes, the latest of them over three years ago; not shown much in hunter chases for this yard and weakened when tried in blinkers in a handicap last time. |

Maiden showed ability in a couple of maiden hurdles but has failed to complete in two of his four starts in 2026; pulled up in first-time blinkers at Killarney latest; blinkers tried now. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Some fair placed form in maiden hurdles last year on good; no impact in a pair of beginners' chases at Kilbeggan recently; cheekpieces need to get more from him on his handicap chase debut. |

Veteran is a four-time chase winner (including over C&D) but hasn't won since 2024 and badly out of form when last seen at Killarney in October; entitled to need this and best watched. |
28/1 |

20th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran has won five times (four over fences) but he has failed to fire in a handicap hurdle and a handicap chase since returning from a 320 day break; remains 8lb above sole hurdles win; others appeal more. |
40/1 |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 5lb |
Wide margin winner over fences at Tipperary in July 2024 and won over timber here in the interim; likely needed his return at Wexford and while he was beaten a long way out, he won second time out when returned to chasing last term; 2m1f is the main concern for this veteran. |
