A winner of eight races (three over timber) but has never won off this high a mark over hurdles; rated 21lb higher over fences but was soundly beaten off his lower hurdles' rating at Cork last time; held by Inthenickoftime on that form. |

10st 8lb |
In rude health this summer; going up 20lb for handicap wins at at Tramore and Killarney and a novice win last time over 2m3f at Wexford; needs to find more again but there could well be more to come from her. |

Has hit form since switched to this yard, winning handicap chases at Tramore and Killarney with a decent effort over 2m here in between; seems to stay this trip but has a bit to find with Le Coq Hardi on ratings. |

Impressive Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year but didn't really gon on from that; has run to a similar level on three chase starts this year; needs to find more up in class from last time. |

Won his maiden hurdle here by 17l in May last year (2m3f, good); made a positive chase debut at Tramore (2m, good) when a distant third, jumping left throughout; improved at Wexford next time when a 2.5l runner-up behind Garnacho in a novice chase (2m4f, good); 4lb better off with the winner now; big chance. |

Bumper and hurdle winner ran respectably over fences here last time (2m); could well battle it out for a place but has plenty to find with Le Coq Hardi on ratings. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 153y |
11st 6lb |
Point winner and useful hurdler; very good hurdles run in strong Bellewstown heat in July; had struggled chasing until better effort when third at Downpatrick last time; bit more needed, because this is a better race. |
13/2 |

3rd 3 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 4lb |
Had a couple of mishaps over fences and didn't run badly in first-time blinkers over hurdles at Bellewstown last month; could do better with that confidence booster under his belt and the headgear is retained. |

Won off a 9lb higher chase mark at Tramore three starts ago; has to be taken seriously, given how effectively his trainer targeted this meeting last year. |

11st 6lb |
Off the mark when beating Lady Doyanne over 2m at Wexford in July (good) but 3.5l behind that rival over same C&D a month later when third; bit to find with same rival on these terms, but can't rule out. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 10lb |
Winning hurdler and unexposed over fences; showed some small improvement when third in a Roscommon handicap chase four weeks ago; more needed but far from impossible. |
6/1 |

3rd 5 |
4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |

Is 1-10 over hurdles and rated 104; two runs over fences; beaten 23l in a handicap chase over this C&D in January off 105; remote third behind progressive Shadow Paddy at Killarney latest; needs to improve plenty on those efforts to take this. |

Verdict
Now that the Cromwell yard is back in form, STUNTMAN STEVE could be the one to side with back over fences, given his Bellewstown hurdle run behind Putapoundinthejar looks better now. Piccolo Player is of interest while Femme Magnifique was a smart winner over C&D last time. [Tyrone Molloy]
