8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 0lb |
Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps in 2024 at Roscommon and Galway (off 70); came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown last summer and ran well in novice events both starts afterwards; returns from a further 9 months' absence but goes well fresh. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Won consecutive 1m4f handicaps on the Flat last year; came back from an absence when winning over hurdles at Bellewstown and a fine effort in a Listed novice at Galway since, both approx' 2m; should appreciate this longer trip and be involved. |

Decent Flat handicapper, scoring over 1m4f at Roscommon and here last season; returned from 298-day absence to land 2m1f Bellewstown maiden hurdle early this month in good style; should handle this step up in grade. |

18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 94y |
9st 0lb |
Three-time Flat winner, went up 11lb for a convincing success in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore last month; subsequent runs in a Flat handicap at Galway and a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan raise significant doubts; well enough treated by the race conditions if recapturing form. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Three-time Flat winner, going up 11lb for a convincing success in a 1m4f handicap at Tramore last month; may have gone as far as he can on the Flat off his new mark and a good time to go back hurdling; claims on his third in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in June; one of two runners for the stable. |

9st 12lb |
Irish raider who won a 0-50 classified event over the weekend; this looks a bit more competitive under a 4lb penalty but the longer trip will suit, with him taking a while to get on top over 1m2f at Ayr; goes on the shortlist. |

Irish raider; ran far better than finishing position suggests (pecked badly at second-last) over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f) a fortnight ago; cosy Flat winner at Limerick (1m4f, yielding) in April and needs respecting at this basement level. |

Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |
