11st 7lb |
Two-time winner has failed to complete all four starts since returning from a 496 day layoff; on last winning mark now but a risky proposition. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 165y |

Dual winning hurdler has returned from a 496-day break with letters representing her three form figures since; pulled up at Punchestown before falling here when in midfield (2m5f, yielding to soft); pulled up again at Punchestown last time; best watched for the moment. |

Career best to win at Roscommon last summer from 6lb lower before lesser run at this track; low-key Flat return at Limerick in June; needs more to win this. |

First reserve; over two years since her sole success at Clonmel although definite encouragement from recent Limerick effort; this trip her limit. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Won in a small field at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) in October but holding his form is becoming troublesome; risky enough. |

Won three in a row for Alan Jones in 2024 and now returns to former trainer after three defeats for Richard Hawker, which included one placed effort; nothing wrong with his mark. |

1-11 over hurdles; has run well on soft ground in two of his last three starts; 3lb rise for 7l second on latest at Naas seems harsh; trip and ground fine though and he has place claims again. |

Won twice on the Flat last October but hasn't transferred that form to hurdles, being well beaten in this discipline the last twice; has to bounce back. |

Mare comes here on the back of two flat wins in October on preferred heavy ground; first run over timber since C&D second in March off 85 so demands plenty of respect. |

10st 7lb |
Belied 33-1 odds when placed at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in June, his fourth start for Seamus Mullins, but didn't fire over that C&D on latest outing and is now 0-11 over hurdles. |

Ex-Irish maiden who's had 14 races; penultimate start was one of his better efforts, when third of eight over C&D, and he was not disgraced in blinkers when trying 3m2f on latest; place hopes. |
