2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 1lb |
Course Grade 3 winner in 2024, currently rated 150 after Ballinrobe win in May; previously may have needed the run when well beaten in a Southwell race won by Constitution Hill; beaten by the unconsidered Counting Coup in a Flat maiden at Down Royal 12 days ago; stylish Ballinrobe success in first-time cheekpieces makes him the one to beat at these weights. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 9lb |
Grade 3 winner over hurdles, currently rated 150 after recent Ballinrobe win; previously may have needed the run when well beaten in a Southwell maiden won by Constitution Hill; went lame on only Irish Flat start, when favourite for a Ballinrobe maiden won by the 2025 Queen's Vase winner Carmers; Flat pedigree and went close over 1m4f at France in ; strong chance. |

11st 6lb |
Grand sort has won four hurdles, including two small-field contests here last year; returned with a spin over fences in May; 2m3f is the farthest he's gone, so stamina for 3m is the concern. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

Useful dual-purpose performer; third in the Irish Lincoln here in March; has won two small-field hurdle races at Cork since then, well below his best on the Flat at Listowel. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
11yo who appeared to be outstayed when fourth, beaten about 8l, in the Grade 1 Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown (extended 2m7f, yielding) in May; however, that was still a good performance in today's context and he's fit from the Flat; possible player for top Irish stable. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 5lb |
Aged 11 but he's a seriously unexposed, dark horse on Flat; smart hurdles form in Grade 1s in August 2024-May 2025; three Irish maiden races are all he's contested on Flat, when runner-up twice last year (2m/1m6f) and winning by a short head this August (2m) but he's not been hit hard with this opening Flat mark and having Willie Mullins as his trainer demands respect. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y |
11st 8lb |
Very smart chaser when at his best but he was well beaten in this 12 months ago and last season's placed efforts were remote ones behind class acts; current wellbeing is a bit of an issue. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Decent sort has two wins apiece over hurdles and fences, including a Grade 2 at Navan last season, his best performance; however, he is rated a long way below all of these rivals and is an unlikely winner. |

Three-time winning hurdler has clearly had his issues; unseen since tailed off in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October 2024; has the rating to be a big danger but questionable whether he can run to it after such a long time away. |
