4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 6lb |
Hurdles and bumper winner off the mark over fences when justifying favouritism in a beginners' at Roscommon (16.5f, soft) and the runner-up won next time out; stamina for this longer trip is a big query, however. |

11st 12lb |
Placed in both chase starts last year; second behind Downmexicoway at Killarney and a 5l third behind Birdie Or Bust at Listowel; 9-2 for handicap chase bow at Punchestown on seasonal return when fell early; probably the one to beat if that hasn't dented his confidence. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |

1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination. |

Four-time flat winner is 0-3 over hurdles; well-beaten at triple figure odds in a trio of maidens; blinkers replaced the hood for his handicap debut; potential improver and worth a market check. |

Flat recruit; won four times on the level (best RPR 79) but beaten a long way in both hurdle runs to date at 100-1; will be of more interest when tackling handicaps. |

Got up late to win a 2m Kilbeggan maiden hurdle in September 2024 (good-to-yielding) but hasn't been seen since; very much an unknown quantity on handicap debut after such an absence and market probably best guide. |

Winner of his third hurdle start when taking a Down Royal maiden in August last year (2m4f, good); nothing since and has been tailed off in three most recent starts; fences need to spark a return to form. |

Mare has two hurdle wins to her name and got off the mark over fences when a comfortable winner at Tramore last time against her own sex; this is much more competitive. |

Career-best performance in a Navan handicap hurdle on penultimate start when comfortably beating a subsequent winner (2m, soft); failed to build on that last time at Fairyhouse; she is capable of playing a role if putting her best foot forward on first try over fences. |

Sole win over hurdles came at Kilbeggan last year and some decent runs in defeat since; however, was poor on return at Punchestown and tried to refuse then unseated rider last time at Limerick; risky. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Very useful staying hurdler, winning 2m4f handicap here and 3m contests at Listowel and Leopardstown last term; career-best when last seen finishing third of 24 in 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown festival in April; closely related to yard's good chaser San Salvador, so good chance he'll take to chasing; trip on the short side, but has won around here before so greatly respected. |
