Sole win came in 2m3f handicap hurdle here two years ago; 0-5 chasing, most recent Wexford handicap fifth only mildly encouraging. |

Win came at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October off 86; safely held next two starts, but fair run here over an inadequate 2m last time when 4.75l fifth of 13, best work late on; merits consideration back up in trip. |

Off the mark under this rider at Tramore 12 days ago and 6lb rise is fair but unproven on this sort of ground; now tried with first-time tongue-tie. |

Dual-purpose maiden has been below form of late hurdling; hasn't run on the Flat in over a year and hard to be confident in; 3lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |

In excellent form since return from long layoff; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in April; added a Cartmel handicap chase (17.5f, good) last month; this is tougher, however, so will need a career best to follow up. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed a gamble over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) in April following a 458-day absence and ran well when third off 14lb higher mark there last month; showed little in three runs over fences in 2024 for previous trainer but may be a different proposition these days; market watch advised. |

Subject of a gamble here last time (2-1 fav') when gaining first win back from a 458-day absence on second start (2m3f, good to yielding) for this stable; up 14lb but it was an easy win so he might be up to going in again. |

Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

In excellent form this season, winning three times on good ground (2m4f-2m7f; once here); last month's clear second at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) was another career best but he's 5lb higher today and the forecast rain is a likely negative; goes beyond about 3m for first time; tongue-tie added. |

Has done well since arriving from Ireland and was delivered late to win handicaps at Hexham (extended 2m7f), Cartmel (2m6f) and here on Friday (2m4f) when he sat last for a long way but won easily in the end; huge chance if turned out quickly with a penalty. |

Ex-Irish maiden; thriving for Tristan Davidson and bids for a hat-trick following handicap wins at Hexham (2m7f) and Cartmel (2m6f) last month, getting up late each time; up another 5lb but this likeable sort is a player once more. |

Point winner who scored over fences at Newcastle (about 3m, good to soft) in March and made all over C&D (good) last month; had Blazing Court, Path Of Stars and Judicial Review close behind that day but a 2lb nudge is no reason to dismiss him. |

One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features. |
