7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences; won twice at this venue last July; likely to show the benefit of a recent hurdles run at Limerick; noteworthy on account of his ability to handle the track; good chance with a top claimer aboard. |

16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 9lb |
Seven-time winner over hurdles/fences and hasn't been out of the first three in his last six starts around here; three wins over fences last year; disappointing favourite over hurdles at Cork but returns from a break racing from 14lb lower hurdles mark; should go well. |
3/1 |

2nd Nov 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Winner of seven races including three this year; those three wins have come in handicap chases, including a 3l victory at Limerick (2m3f, yld-sft) on latest off 109; rated 103 in this sphere and 2m is fine so can't be discounted on return to hurdling. |

11st 4lb |
Modest overall strike-rate and had a lot of luck go his way when winning by 15l at Sligo (3m2f, soft); still, clearly in decent form and a 5lb rise shouldn't be too damaging. |

27th Sep 2023 Yielding 3m 1f 182y |

11st 12lb |
Veteran who has won three of his last five starts and was as good as ever when scoring on the step up to 3m at Wincanton (good) last month; up 4lb but he should have more to offer over staying trips and he's an interesting contender. |

Dual course winner, also placed here four times; battled well from the front to land a mares' handicap at Tramore last August (good); probably in need of the run on course return in February; likely to strip fitter now; won here on her second start after a break last year; strong contender. |

Decent performer at a modest enough level, three hurdle wins and twice successful over fences off lower marks this term in Limerick handicaps, most recently last month when patiently-ridden to lead two out for ready 11l win (2m4f, soft); up 9lb but remains 10lb lower than hurdles so remains very much of interest. |

No reason to recommend on strength of modest efforts this year at Chepstow and Hexham (twice); however, the handicapper has cut him some slack, and he sits just 1lb higher than when winning readily at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) last November; best form is on soft/heavy. |

Verdict
A quite unappealing race. Shantou Sisu and Shean Glory both come in here with some recent form behind them. Preference is for GWAN TADHG who is still unexposed in handicap terms but ran well last twice and can go close if handling the ground. [Justin O’Hanlon]
