10st 10lb |
Bumper and three-time hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but was just denied by Conyers Hill at Down Royal in January; runner-up in a Tipperary handicap in May but his jumping was sluggish and he will have to be sharper on return; tongue-tie added. |

Three-time hurdles winner (rated 125); close fourth in competitive Leopardstown handicap chase in December; backed that up with neck second at Down Royal despite untidy jumping; something amiss when pulled up at Gowran; could bounce back. |

11st 2lb |
Just 1-24 over hurdles when based in Ireland and was pulled up (albeit on slow ground) on chasing debut in February; ran well to a point when back over hurdles for new stable ten days ago (first-time cheekpieces) but was well held in the end; others look safer. |

11st 9lb |
Had modest 2-44 strike-rate under rules when based in Ireland and was pulled up in a chase on latest outing five weeks ago; not an easy one to weigh up but might have been perked up by recent stable switch; wears first-time cheekpieces; well worth a glance in the market. |

Sole win over hurdles came in 2022; some fine runs in defeat over fences since including a close third in this race in 2023; has been missing since February 2024 but has been given a chance by the handicapper; market strength could indicate his readiness. |

Winning hurdler; 0-8 over fences and rated 97; fell when holding every chance in a C&D handicap chase when last seen last August (good); has gone well fresh and not discounted. |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

Lost form for his previous trainer after two good runs in September 2024; plenty to prove on his first run since out of his depth in a Flat maiden last autumn, previously a moderate fourth in a claimer over hurdles. |
