18th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 5y |
11st 13lb |
Won his third race over hurdles when scoring at Ballinrobe last September off 4lb lower; some decent runs since but was pulled-up at Thurles last time; a squeak if bouncing back. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
11st 9lb |
Course handicap hurdle winner in 2021; bolted up on yard debut at Ballinrobe in September (2m6f, soft) before solid fifth at Listowel; below best at Cheltenham next time; ran well for a long way here (24.5f, yielding) over fences in December. |

10st 10lb |
Won a 3m2f Limerick handicap chase in May for the late Edward O'Grady; pulled up on next two outings (coughing on the first occasion); return to hurdling did the trick when he scored readily on recent stable debut at Ballinrobe; can remain competitive off 7lb higher, with the same talented 7lb claimer up. |

No wins over hurdles since 2021 and unseated over fences here last month; wasn't disgraced on previous hurdles start in August and down to a good mark but others are more convincing. |

Maiden hurdle winner last year; placed in handicaps over hurdles and fences but current wellbeing is an issue and they're fiddling about with headgear. |

28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 81y |
10st 0lb |
Three-time chase winner is 2-29 over hurdles; rated 13lb lower over timber but recent form in both codes has been disappointing and a major revival is needed. |
66/1 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 4lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, although hasn't won since taking 2m4f Cork handicap hurdle in November 2023; safely held over hurdles of late, of limited appeal back chasing. |

Good chase record around here; five wins in career; last win was in November 2023 off 3lb lower; fourth in competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle in November; this is easier; chance. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline. |

On a long losing run but down to career-low mark so don't rule out. |

Verdict
The consistent Union Park should run his race, while Pennywell Girl was unlucky here last time and looks to be going the right way. The selection is BONNIE KELLIE(nap) after her performance at Limerick with an 11lb penalty far from guaranteed to stop her. Top-weight Priory Park may follow her home. [Justin O’Hanlon]
