26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 3lb |
Limerick maiden winner and third in the Lartigue here last year; couple of mishaps at Killarney this year and disappointed in a three-miler at Galway, but his fortunes changed when winning over 2m4f at Bellewstown with two of these behind; stamina won it for him that day; 5lb higher now. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 12lb |
Sole success came over 2m1f at Limerick in May last year; looked like he might add to his tally when unseating two out at Killarney in May (20.5f, gd-yld) and 2lb lower now; 2m7f-3m perhaps too far the last twice, could rebound back in trip. |

11st 5lb |
Limerick maiden winner last year and finished good third in the Lartigue at Listowel; easily best run since and just beginning his challenge (going well) when unseating two out at Killarney in May, most recently would have gone closer but for pecking two out at same venue last month over 2m7f; remains of interest; also due to run here yeasterday (3.12). |

Consistent in defeat in handicaps last year, including when second to a talented sort over this trip here at the festival; Punchestown festival winner over 2m on first run of the year; mistake two out stopped him at Galway; good second to Elusive Ogie over this trip at Bellewstown |

Won off 7lb lower at Punchestown in May (2m, yielding); came up short off revised mark in the Tribes at Galway (2m1f, gd-yld); won his maiden over this trip so no stamina concerns but needs more off this mark. |

10st 1lb |
Hurdle and chase winner for Gavin Cromwell last year, before losing form; two good runs since joining yard; was just behind Matt Connor when sixth of 20 in the Tribes at Galway; positively ridden and only gave best late on behind two of these at Bellewstown (2m4f). |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Won a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March 2025 for Gavin Cromwell; not a bad run on debut for this yard in the Tribes at Galway after 230 days off when 4l behind Red Glory and eased 1lb; sharper now and has placed over this trip before; could go well. |

Dual-purpose winner was below form over hurdles on his last two starts for Gavin Cromwell last winter; however, would have a chance off this mark if restored to his best. |

Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; looked set to win when taking a heavy fall on chase debut in an incident-packed four-runner race at Kilbeggan (3m); every chance if the fall hasn't left its mark. |

Useful hurdler has won three times at up to 2m4f in that sphere and is rated 125; didn't quite get home on sole start at 3m over timber, so stamina to prove on chase debut. |

Dual hurdles winner, the second at Downpatrick (2m3f, yielding to soft) off 2lb lower last summer; just in front of Cobra Queen when second at that venue on penultimate but 6lb worse off with that rival here factoring in riders' claims; respectable fifth at Bellewstown 16 days ago. |

Downpatrick maiden hurdle winner just over a year ago (2m2f, good); best run since came at same track when just behind Theflyingbee and Cobra Queen, weakening late on over 2m6f; okay effort at Bellewstown 16 days ago; stable going well and must be shortlisted. |

Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but no joy since; shaped okay over fences at Downpatrick when last seen in March 2025; declared to run but non-runner four times since (twice when lame, twice because of ground); preferred by Kennedy and worth a market check. |

Vastly experienced veteran last sighted running respectably in the Aintree Grand National; last won over hurdles over this C&D in 2023 off 20lb lower; well treated in comparison to higher chase rating but record fresh suggests he may need this run. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
10yo who's had 70 races (only one of today's rivals has managed even half that) and won 11; latest was the 3m5f cross-country at Cheltenham Festival, comfortably holding off Favori De Champdou for career-best form off the same mark as today; having taken so well to that discipline (he also won there in December) and produced his best performances away from soft ground, he has to be considered seriously. |

High-mileage 10yo who took very well to this C&D (good) in December, winning quite comfortably by just over 4l; weakened into fifth in soft-ground C&D contest won by Favori De Champdou in January but ran well for a long way and ought to be better suited by the less testing conditions today; each-way claims at least. |

Veteran ran a fine race over fences at Ballinrobe (2m4f, yld-sft) in June but didn't back it up at Killarney on latest (2m1f, gd-yld); hasn't won over hurdles since 2021 and would prefer softer ground; new headgear combination tried now. |

Veteran's most recent win came in this race last year off 2lb lower; rediscovered form in the spring in 2m4f veterans' handicaps, finishing fine third at Haydock and good second (having hit last) at Ballinrobe; has to be considered. |

Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |
