18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
An 11yo now and has pulled up in two hurdle races and a chase since returning from a lengthy break; what could help is getting away from soft ground, as good seems his preference. |
14/1 |

18th Feb 2026 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Point runner-up who is one to watch in the market in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) on his chase debut; however, this 11yo has been pulled up over hurdles on his last two runs and a major turnaround is needed. |

Uncompetitive in four starts divided between hurdling and the Flat since returning from a long absence and difficult to envisage a sudden resurgence at the age of 11. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
9st 5lb |
Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles last summer before losing his way; decent run at Dundalk last month off 8lb higher AW mark so has to be of interest back on the turf (stamina proven). |

Won C&D beginners' before decent 3rd in handicap here; however, has questions to answer after a poor Tipperary run and yard has gone a bit quiet. |
9/1 |

4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 114y |
11st 9lb |
Had become a frustrating operator prior to Kilbeggan beginners win, and backed it up with another decent third at same 15-days ago, although his jumping was a bit suspect at times in the latter; his rating alone, allied with his rider's valuable 5lb claim, suggests big things here, and it will be no surprise if he lands the top step of the podium. |

Versatile sort has won from 1m-1m4f; uneven form over hurdles and on the Flat this term and was poor at Tramore last time; can start slowly; needs her best. |
20/1 |

8th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Dual-purpose mare; not the most consistent sort but has run well in two of her three turf outings this year, including when third over a shorter trip at Down Royal last month; almost two years since her last win. |
4/1 |

8 (4) |
21st Jun 2025 Good 1m 2f 96y |

Dual-purpose mare who went close over 1m2f at Sligo (good) but disappointed there over hurdles last time when 23l behind the winner; she has won twice on the Flat with her last win coming at Gowran in 2023 off a 5lb higher mark; can't be dismissed. |

Dual-purpose veteran; four-time Flat winner (once over C&D in 2018); hasn't been pulling up any trees over hurdles in recent times; made little impression over C&D four weeks ago; others preferred; cheekpieces. |
25/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 100y |

Dual-purpose; 3-24 over hurdles, the last win coming off 3lb higher at Cork in November 2024; hasn't looked like taking advantage of sliding mark recently and fell on latest at Punchestown; needs a revival. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. |
15/1 |
|
7 (1) |
20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat. |
13/2 |

11 (2) |
22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
8st 7lb |
Won over C&D last summer off 59 and pick of three runs this year when good third at the Curragh, having raced keenly and hanging right under 7lb claimer; not the best of breaks on Wolverhampton AW latest but fair effort; 2lb wrong here but rider's claim negates that. |

AW winner is a maiden over timber; hasn't built on decent maiden hurdle second at this venue back in handicap company at 2m6f and 3m the last twice; this drop in trip should suit but lots more needed. |
