Four-time Flat winner was placed in a maiden hurdle last season; big improvement needed from his first two handicap attempts at Navan and Fairyhouse. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

17th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer; flopped when odds-on at Wetherby in February and is now 0-8 over hurdles but suggested his turn might be near when third at Plumpton (2m, soft) on his penultimate run; cheekpieces are now added on his return and has possibilities if he can bounce back. |
7/1 |
|
6th 6 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Two-time Flat winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had been struggling to get competitive in this code prior to his third of seven at Plumpton (2m, soft) last month; firmly in the mix if backing up that latest effort. |

4th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 20y |

Two-time Flat winner; out of form in that sphere the last twice and held by Arctic Flame on the form of her 22l sixth on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in May; others appeal more. |
16/1 |

28th Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |

Low-key effort behind a few of these at Leopardstown earlier this month but return to quicker ground may help and she's back on her last winning mark (also went close off 77 in Clonmel handicap in September); Neve Bennett who claims 7lb has ridden her fair share of winners; could go well. |

Acts on heavy; 12-race maiden in Ireland for Michael O'Meara, short-headed once in 2023; blinkered last time (June, best run this term) and now tries cheekpieces; with same owner and well down the weights, so a case can be made on this British debut. |

10st 13lb |
A 23-race maiden whose last run over hurdles came in 2023 over C&D when well beaten off 93; returned from a break with a decent third at Tramore (1m4f, good to yielding); not as good at Galway last time; others more likely. |

AW winner is 0-15 on the grass; has shaped well in two of his last four turf starts, including when a 3.5l third of 21 at Cork last time (a few of these behind); however, 6lb wrong here so this looks a tough task. |
