9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Newcastle last November and when back on the Flat at Wolverhampton (2m, AW) in March; badly hampered and unseated over hurdles next time; still has mileage in his mark judged on old Flat form; respected. |

Won easily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in November and runner-up to progressive winner at Catterick (2m3f, good) in December; soundly beaten behind Judicial Deference at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) in January but he's probably better than that and he won on the AW last week; not ruled out. |

Three-time hurdles winner on good to yielding; finished 0.75l behind Spick And Span at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) before stepping up in trip at Tipperary last time to record a very easy victory (23.5f, good to yielding); up 7lb now and drops back in trip. |

Dual hurdles winner is now 7lb below last winning mark; won at Ballinrobe in July last year (2m1f, good to yielding); winner of a beginners' chase here in March over extended 2m; out of form following that; modest third at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft). |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner has not totally convinced with his jumping on his initial runs over fences despite finishing second last twice; can get away with it over these small fences and sure to give a good account from the front. |
9/4 |

2nd 3 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences. |

Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was returning from a 745 day layoff at Wexford 13 days ago when making his chase debut and was in the process of running a cracker before falling at the last; sharper for that and can go well once this doesn't come too soon. |

Punchestown handicap hurdle winner off 106 in 2024 (3m, yielding); beaten 29l in the only one of three beginners' chases which he completed; nicely improved on handicap chase debut at Navan last time when keeping on well for third behind a runaway winner who followed up next time (3m, heavy); not ruled out but perhaps better suited to better ground. |
