Hold up sort; 3-21 over hurdles; latest win at Gowran in November over 2m4f off 88; won over this C&D off 81 earlier that month; okay efforts the last thrice but may be in handicapper's grip for now. |

9st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner but nothing since 2022; yet to score from 28 runs over hurdles; ran well over C&D in July when runner-up off this mark; pulled up over hurdles next time; he's better in this sphere, but long losing run drastically reduces his appeal. |

Inconsistent this year; fine run when third at this venue in April; pulled up at Kilbeggan, then beaten a head at Limerick before pulling up at Bellewstown; never in the hunt over C&D on latest. |

Inconsistent this year; fine run over C&D after a break in April; pulled up at Kilbeggan then beaten a head at Limerick before pulling up at Bellewstown latest; best on good ground; chance if in the mood and the track dries out but risks attached. |

Maiden was third at Ballinrobe over 2m5f before pulled-up over 3m at Kilbeggan when raced too keenly; bounced back to be just denied over 2m3f at Limerick last time; up 3lb but a big player if repeating that. |

Had a couple of these behind when a close second in a C&D handicap in July; failed to see out his race at Galway since but certainly respected on that previous course form. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Won over fences here in October (2m6f) and followed up in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (3m); encouraging return from a break when going close at Killarney 12 days ago and he's in the mix. |

Sole win came for Adrian Murray in 2m3f Downpatrick handicap hurdle a year ago (good), couple of decent runs afterwards in beginners chases; two comeback runs over hurdles should have her straight and not one to rule out. |

Winless in seven starts for Gordon Elliott; sole win for Adrian Murray at Downpatrick (2m3f, good) off 87 around this time last year; fair debut for this yard at Sligo last month after a break; market will reveal expectations. |

Maiden made a promising seasonal reappearance at Wexford but hasn't built on that; beaten 13l when fourth at Downpatrick and then pulled up over C&D latest; has gone well here before but others more convincing. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Has a knack for finishing second (runner-up in four of last six starts); filled the second spot again on his return at Wexford in May (2m1f, good to yielding); just fourth at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last time when outpaced before keeping on; should be thereabouts again. |

Standout effort a 4.75l second of 20 at Punchestown last October off 80 (2m4f, good to yielding); pulled up on return at Down Royal but much-improved fourth of 21 at Cork (24.5f, good) this month when making good headway from rear; shortlisted. |

Took a big step forward off reduced mark in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown in October when second to a clear winner (2m4f, good to yielding); respectable enough effort on soft ground at Tramore last time when fifth (2m5f); trainer in better form now, so not discounted. |
