11st 3lb |
Won over 2m1f at Clonmel on heavy last season and saw out 3m really well to win at Roscommon in August on softish ground, a career-best; ran well for long way on last month's comeback at Gowran before tiring; better for that and has form on good ground too. |

Won over 2m1f at Clonmel on heavy ground in October and runner-up at Cork next time; hint at definite return to form at Sligo last month, not quite getting 3m2f trip; slight drop in distance to suit and so would likely softer ground. |

All three hurdle wins have come at this venue at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; best run this year when just failing to get up over C&D last month (good); found the competition too hot at Galway; now blinkered for the first time after a tame effort here 13 days ago. |

All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |

Went up 10lb for winning a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in May; has to bounce back from an ordinary effort at Killarney last month over this shorter trip but the booking of Jack Kennedy an obvious plus. |

Maiden under rules in Ireland (0-3 as a chaser) but he had a few wins and places to his name in 25 point starts; the latest wasn't his best but he still went and joined Dan Skelton for £8,000; that alone heightens interest in him. |

Absent 297 days; 0-5 over hurdles but all his Rules runs have come on ground with soft or heavy in the description; was placed in a point-to-point on good and his two winning half-brothers both scored on a sound surface so the better ground here may spark some improvement. |
