Dual-purpose winner won his last hurdle race over C&D last October; ran a solid race from the front to be third to Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time; 3lb better off and cheekpieces added; chance. |

11st 9lb |
Progressive for Gordon Elliott, winning three of five starts; handicaps at Kilbeggan and Clonmel and 3-runner 2m4f Roscommon novice; disappointing favourite however back in handicap over C&D in June when forcing tactics employed, fading badly once headed approaching the last in contest won by Malbay Madness; back from a break with questions to answer. |

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. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
9st 13lb |
Useful juvenile hurdler for James Owen in 2024-25 season; AW winner last year but never sighted on last month's flat return at Roscommon; visor replaces cheekpieces and bad draw so of limited appeal. |

Useful juvenile hurdler for James Owen in 2024-25 season; won twice, and stayed on well for third (best of the home team) in the Fred Winter; AW winner, 0-6 on turf, placed four times; makes Irish debut after a long layoff and probably needs a bit further than this. |

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. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
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. |

Won for the second time over hurdles when scoring at Punchestown in May (form franked) over this trip; raised 7lb for that and is up in grade but goes well fresh so has to be respected. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |

Useful mare; went a bit high in the ratings after winning at Downpatrick last June; now back on a mark only one pound higher and holds a big chance in this company on the strength of her third placing in a 24-runner contest at the Punchestown festival. |

Both wins have been on good ground, notably last month in 2m4f handicap here, surviving stewards enquiry after hanging left on run-in and hampering second; up 6lb for that and cheekpieces now added to usual tongue-tie. |

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. |

1st Nov 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 190y |

Has won a handicap hurdle (off 10lb lower) and a beginners' chase since joining this stable; modest efforts the last twice over hurdles since returning from a break; may need more respite from the handicapper. |

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). |

Betting Forcast
9/2 Red Glory, 10/1 Chanceawetmorning, 16/1 Dreal Deal, 8/1 Liam Swagger, 9/1 Final Orders, 12/1 Avalo, 5/1 Theflyingbee, 11/1 Arctic Flame, 25/1 Barrys Spirit, 15/2 Heroes Rise, 8/1 Serienmond, 14/1 Elusive Ogie, 17/2 Camlin Park
Verdict
Red Glory ran well in the Tribes last time but this longer trip is a query for him. The C&D winner THEFLYINGBEE was 0.75l behind Chanceawetmorning on her penultimate start and a 12lb swing could enable her to avenge that defeat. 2m6f may have stretched her on latest and she is preferred dropped back in trip. Camlin Park, Elusive Ogie and the 2025 Fred Winter third Liam Swagger are others worth considering in a competitive race. [Dave Stephens]
