2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Unbeaten for Aidan Melia; made it 4-4 in handicap hurdles since June when scoring twice at the Galway festival; has gone up an aggregate 39lb and now bids to avail of the 73 Flat rating obtained as a 3yo; has a solid Aga Khan pedigree, so the trip should be within his range; Derek O'Connor booked. |

Thriving since joining current yard, making it 3-3 when scoring in emphatic fashion over C&D on Monday, despite taking a keen hold; hit with a 13lb rise for that so up an aggregate of 29lb since joining the yard; Conor Smithers has ridden him on all three wins and maintains the partnership here; big player. |

27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 130y |
11st 11lb |
Paid immediate dividends on his first run for the stable when winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle in June and followed up in good style four days later at Sligo; up 16lb in total, but looks to have been prepared with this in mind and his rookie trainer is already showing himself to be a good operator. |

Won twice in France and added a maiden hurdle here in June 2025; lost his form afterwards but firmly back on track with close seconds at Galway (1m4f, yielding to soft) and Navan (2m, good); respected despite a collective 9lb rise. |

Two wins on the Flat in France in 2024; lost form last year after a maiden hurdle success; came back to life at the Galway festival when staying on well for second in a 17-runner handciap over 1m4f; good chance for a powerful trainer/rider partnership. |

11st 12lb |
Grand family dual-purpose performer won his latest hurdle at Tramore in May (2m) and been running well on the Flat since, including when finishing well over 1m6f here on Monday; not quite proven over this far and lot of weight to shoulder for a relatively handy type. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (17) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |

3-36 and two of those wins were over hurdles; however, made up a lot of ground to be third of 16 in a 2m Flat handicap at Navan 19 days ago and that entitles him to a place on the shortlist. |
12/1 |

3rd 12 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination. |

Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |

Fourth in a Bellewstown handicap hurdle in April and in good form on the Flat since, winning over 1m5f here in June and runner-up twice; may have gone as far as he can on the Flat and probably a good time to go back hurdling; worth a market check. |
