18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly at Wexford (2m3f) last month and easily followed up off 5lb higher at this course; returns to hurdling off 19lb lower mark compared to chase rating; must have a big chance. |

11st 5lb |
Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly over 2m3f at Wexford three weeks ago; likes good ground or a slight ease and only 5lb higher; on the shortlist. |

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. |

10st 10lb |
Without a win for two years, but right back to form on his last two starts, especially when second wearing this headgear over 2m2f at Downpatrick last month; solid claims once more. |
5/1 |

2nd 6 |
31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 8lb |
Six-time winner over hurdles and fences; somewhat in and out this year but was very much on a going day when narrowly beaten in a 1m7f handicap chase at Tramore last time; stable does well here and a clear chance if he can reproduce that; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
12st 0lb |
Six-time winner, including over C&D in a novice chase two years ago; form has been in and out over the last 12 months but best effort in that time came over C&D when 4.25l second off 4lb higher in May; below form last twice, pulled up at Wexford 47 days ago; on a good mark if return to this track sparks him up again. |

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. |

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 |
11st 12lb |
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. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 13lb |
In excellent form earlier in the summer, winning twice over 2m3f here; well below his best at Galway last time; up 13lb but his liking for this venue is a significant plus and is much respected. |
5/1 |

16th 6 |
28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 9lb |
5-33 over fences and arrives on the back of successive front running 19.5f wins at Downpatrick, both on good ground; has gone up a total of 13lb but clearly in good heart and should make another bold bid here. |
6/1 |

1st 10 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 3lb |
C&D victory came from the blue after being pulled up in his previous two starts; blinkers (retained) replaced the visor that day; four-time chase winner is up 7lb, has never won off a mark this high but his win was impressive and he was consistent last term. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Ran well when third of six at Uttoxeter (2m, good) on latest visit to Britain in July but was well beaten when falling in a Downpatrick chase last week and is too inconsistent to rely upon. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |

Quirky customer won over fences at Wexford last summer; ran okay in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter but well beaten over fences at Galway since; others preferred. |
