Smart dual-purpose sort has won four races apiece over hurdles and on the level; was a close third to stablemate Ethical Diamond in the Group 3 Ballyroan Stakes over C&D last time, 1l behind Green Impact; can run well again but needs more to win. |

150-rated hurdler; has done well on AW, notching two emphatic wins at Dundalk before excellent second in 1m2f Newcastle handicap on Good Friday; never threatened in Royal Ascot's Wolferton Stakes; not in the same league as stablemate Ethical Diamond. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle winner last year was runner-up in a Dundalk Flat maiden in February before filling the same position in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 novice hurdle; below form in a Killarney conditions race next time; a chance if back to his best. |

Smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; best of the Irish in the Supreme Novices', though no threat from the last; faded quite tamely in Grade 1 at Punchestown; retains a good reputation and has been a leading ante-post fancy. |

One of three for yard; smart bumper form; fell with race at his mercy on hurdles debut at Leopardstown in December; survived a final flight blunder to win a maiden at Thurles; didn't get home up the Cheltenham hill in the Supreme last time; this track should suit better; preferred by Kennedy and big chance if cutting out the jumping errors. |

11st 12lb |
Unbeaten in first three starts, point-to-point last term and this season in Listowel bumper and 2m Cork maiden hurdle in November, making most; contested Leopardstown Grade 1 novices' both starts since, dropping away tamely before the last and then never sighted in first-time tongue-tie at the DRF on heavy; drops in class here and upped in trip. |

Point winner.; won 18-runner Listowel bumper on first start for Henry de Bromhead; recovered well from a slight mistake two out to land the odds in Cork maiden hurdle; lost unbeaten record at Christmas, hard to see him matching Talk To Talk based on that; tongue-tie on now. |

Classy on the Flat (rated 101) and this three time hurdles winner ran a fine race on his second start back from a long layoff when a 0.75l second to the 140 rated Reverend Hubert at Killarney when in receipt of 10lbs; a bit to find on the figures here with a rating of 131 but rider's claim helps; place chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |

Smart stayer on the Flat and nice Flat return at Killarney after 13 months off; pick of hurdles form would give him a chance, but hasn't run in this code since being beaten 8l off mark of 131 at last year's Punchestown festival; stays well on the level and might yet improve for going 3m (second try at it). |
