26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 10lb |
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. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms. |

All downhill since winning over hurdles at Galway's festival of 2024; well beaten in three of his four runs for this yard and when third in April only five ran; visor added. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts. |

11st 4lb |
Both wins in Ireland, a 7f AW handicap and a maiden hurdle on good; up and down in ten runs for this yard but was bang there in the latest at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft); hard to rule out. |

Belied 50-1 odds when very respectable fourth over C&D (good) 11 days ago and is 1lb lower now but her record in Britain is very mixed and others in this line-up are more persuasive. |

Nine-time turf winner, limited AW experience; good run when second at the Curragh on penultimate start; asking a lot now at the age of 12. |

Veteran mudlark capable of taking a hand on this ground if returning to form of Curragh second over this trip; tailed off at Navan since and has become hard to predict. |

Outran odds of 50-1 when third on handicap debut over 1m6f at Navan last October; another fair run over 1m4f at Galway; both those runs on heavy ground; first time on this surface now, not certain to be ideal. |

16th Sep 2023 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 120y |
11st 2lb |
Flat winner; 0-13 over timber and it was a low-key return at Kilbeggan last month; wants quicker ground than what is likely here. |

12th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Is 0-12 over hurdles but nearly made all when last seen over hurdles in October; however, well below form on the Flat when last seen in January and absent since; may need this. |
20/1 |
Verdict
With the form of his recent third over C&D having been franked, DREAL DEAL (nap) can regain the winning thread despite a 3lb higher mark. The long-absent Picpoul is entitled to need the run, so the selection’s main threat may be Son Of Hypnos who was not far behind him 12 days ago. [Mark Nunan]
