11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner and a winning chaser; 3-13 over hurdles and rated 135; mark left unchanged after an odds-on win at Clonmel; smart sort but has never won a handicap. |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 135; bounced back to form when runner-up in a similar race at Ballinrobe last time (2m3f, good), with Farren Glory a neck behind in third; gave Farren Glory 5lb that day and they now race off levels, while claimer also takes off 7lb; big contender. |

Dual bumper winner and winning chaser is 2-11 over hurdles and rated 132; has lost his way since fine second in the Plate at Cheltenham in 2025; pulled up in Leopardstown chase when last seen in February; revival needed. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Any horse in these colours worth a second look here, and one presumes this has been the plan; useful Flat and hurdles performer and won 2m6f hurdle on this card in 2024; held in novice company last year after winning on chase debut at Down Royal; third over inadequate 2m on handicap debut at Wexford; better for that run and ground and trip to suit, albeit he's up in grade a good bit. |

Ground should be coming right for him now; probably needs further than this, and his lack of a recent run is a possible drawback. |

29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle at Listowel (2m, good) last month but she struggled back in handicap chase last time; now returns to hurdling but she's hard to predict and her last win was in October 2024; others are more convincing. |

Ran surprisingly well behind the classy Murcia in a mares' hurdle last week, but on balance of form it's hard to take that effort literally; this is a belated return to fences (0-5). |

Hurdle winner is a maiden after 24 starts on the Flat; beaten a long way in a chase last time and isn't easy to fancy with blinkers added. |

24th Jul 2025 Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 3 |
9st 7lb |
His last win was in a maiden hurdle in Ireland two years ago but he's well handicapped on old Flat form and made an encouraging return for new yard when seventh of 20 in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW); conditions should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's one to keep an eye on. |

28th Jun 2025 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Well held in 2022 in his sole AW race; has been running over hurdles and fences in Ireland, with no win since a maiden hurdle nearly two years ago; sold out of Gordon Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; there's no tongue-tie today for the first time in three years and last jumps season's blinkers/cheekpieces are also absent; peak Flat form and new trainer's record with recruits are something to clutch at, though. |
