11st 7lb |
5lb lower over hurdles despite having won four times over flights; put in a rare sub-standard display over fences at Kilbeggan early this month; stays well but does have to bounce back from that poor effort. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

1-13 over fences, the win coming in a beginners' here over 25.5f in July; two respectable runs in handicaps since, 14l fourth in the Blazers at Galway (22.5f, good) and 12l second behind A Wave Of The Sea here (3m2f) two weeks ago; this trip may be too sharp. |

11st 11lb |
Flat winner in Britain; opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt, landing a C&D maiden in November; down the field in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse last month; more relevant form in this context is his fourth placing in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; also managed a fine third on the Flat in the Naas November Handicap; makes plenty of appeal in this grade. |

13th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 95y |
11st 0lb |
Useful dual-purpose type; on a long losing sequence; good form in staying races on the Flat in Britain last season, second in the Queen Alexandra and in the John Smith's Silver Cup; had a run on the Flat before a respectable hurdles run at Down Royal in August, disappointing in Galway conditions event in which Buddy One was third. |

Battle-hardened dual-purpose horse, but a strong stayer whose close second at Down Royal in August came over 3m; looks vulnerable back at this trip. |

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. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 194y |
11st 11lb |
Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help. |

Hurdles win came in 2m Roscommon 4yo maiden on good, twice runner-up in handicaps at same trip last summer; winning chasing debut at Tramore in May and rated an 8lb superior chaser on that run so has to be respected back hurdling. |

Flat and dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Clonmel in February and was a solid second in a Tramore novice last time; has a chance but questions about his attitude after refusing to race at Cork last time. |
