25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner, whose best runs have been in defeat in very competitive handicaps, at Leopardstown over Christmas and more recently when second of 20 in Galway Hurdle (several of these behind) from out of the handicap; soft ground wouldn't have suited on the Flat latest, but obvious claims on Galway Hurdle run. |

Three-time hurdle winner; produced a career-best when second to Putapoundinthejar in the Galway Hurdle; 7f was too sharp in a maiden at the Curragh in March on her only Flat start this year; better judged on the form of her Listowel fifth over 1m6f last September. |

Has hit the frame on all five maiden hurdle outings and chased home his two main market rivals at Kilbeggan last time; can be involved again but looks a bit more exposed than some of his rivals. |

Runner-up in Galway bumper and ran well in a couple of auction maiden hurdles; dropped out tamely in handicap at Punchestown in January on soft; better ground here should suit. |

Still a maiden but has done little wrong; runner-up in a Galway bumper and has run well in a couple of auction maiden hurdles; handicapper has not taken too many chances but an interesting handicap debutante nonetheless. |

Debut bumper winner for Willie Mullins in 2022; hasn't looked progressive in maiden hurdles for current yard over various trips and not an obvious one to make an immediate impact in handicaps. |

Sent off huge prices for a trio of maiden hurdles and, while she showed limited ability on her second start over 2m4f at Cork, she's hard to fancy on her handicap debut; first-time hood. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |

Is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 99; ran to an RPR of 111 when a 13.75l fifth of 11 on his chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good), fading late on after making most of the running; worth a go at this shorter trip on that evidence; place claims. |
