16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when runner-up at Down Royal (2m1, soft, 7-2 fav') in final start for Gary McGill in January; unfancied and well beaten in two runs for new yard; may go well back in 0-100 company now. |

11st 3lb |
Three-time hurdles winner returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January off 3lb lower; weak in the market for Ayr run last time, weakening quickly to finish last of six finishers; in the mix at his best. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won three times, including over C&D two years ago when trained by current handler, who has taken over once more after eight starts for Gary McGill; returned to form when second of 11 finishers at Down Royal (2m1f, soft) in January and this Irish-trained challenger should be in the firing line. |

8th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 115y |
10st 6lb |
Just one Flat win since 2021 but was only beaten a neck on soft by Tassarolo at Killarney last month; form knocked since and his better recent runs have come on softer ground than what's likely here. |

2nd 16 (3) |
16th Jul 2025 Good 1m 3f 103y |

First reserve; five wins in all codes; has been running consistently in defeat on the Flat lately including at Limerick four days ago; needs more but easy ground might help. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Better chaser than hurdler; fair form last year highlighted by a handicap chase win at Sligo in October, followed by two seconds; down the field on both starts this season; 11lb lower than over fences. |
12/1 |

10th 9 |
11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
11st 0lb |
More highly rated over fences than hurdles, winning 2m2f Sligo novice last autumn and touched off in 2m handicaps at Tramore and Down Royal; returned from eight-month absence when never counting in 2m handicap hurdle here last month, expected to come on for that. |
10/1 |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |

Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |

11st 0lb |
Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe maiden hurdle success (2m1f, good); returned from a short break with a positive run at Clonmel last time when third (2m4f, yielding); Flidais was in fourth that day and has won subsequently; in the mix. |

Runner-up on her first two starts for this yard (both at Sligo) before getting off the mark at the 20th attempt with a 4l Ballinrobe success (2m1f, good); needs to bounce back from a below-par run in a Sligo novice event. |

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

Two wins over hurdles; losing run goes back more than two years, but has to be taken seriously after C&D second last month; fourth-placed Thats All won at Kilbeggan a fortnight later. |
9/2 |

2nd 5 |
11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |

Dual winner over timber but losing run goes back more than two years; wasn't disgraced in a beginners' on chase debut last time out and back below his last winning mark but others have stronger claims. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 90y |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
His sole win (from 36 attempts) came over hurdles in 2023 and he's 0-7 over fences; however, he was an encouraging third from the front at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago and could give another good account. |
5/6 |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Disputing the lead before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m, good) this month and subsequently belied 50-1 odds when third off his basement Flat mark but his only from 35 starts was gained over hurdles in 2023, and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |

Sole win was in 2023; overall record is now 1-34 and he has a lot to prove back on the Flat but he was bang there when falling two out over fences at Sedgefield on Wednesday. |

9st 5lb |
Two-time soft-ground winner who won off 3lb higher at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; however, his subsequent form has been mixed and he was beaten a long way at Hamilton (1m, soft) recently. |
16/1 |

11th 9 (12) |
28th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 0f 68y Class 3 |

Won narrowly off 1lb higher at Ripon in April to end a spell that improved his strike-rate markedly; has lacked consistency since, however, and failed to show his form in lower grade most recently. |

Likes give underfoot but has won on good ground; on last winning mark (April) and he was closing on the principals in a Class 2 at Ripon late last month; respected in his bid to go one better than 12 months ago. |

Ex-Irish pointer; 2-3 for current yard, the wins at 3m/3m3f and the defeat over 2m3f; won well enough last time to believe she'll be okay with the 8lb rise. |

Ex-Irish pointer; won comfortably on stable debut at Bangor (3m) and the 18l defeat here was only four days later under a penalty and back over 2m3f; 1lb higher now but good reason to expect much better from her. |

Best form has been here in testing conditions, winning over this trip last Christmas and good second over 2m7f in March; last month's Roscommon comeback was over an inadequate trip, much more expected of here but may not get the amount of rain he wants. |

28th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 135y |

Best form over longer distances in testing conditions, lacks the advantage of a recent run; worth a market check all the same. |
