11st 3lb |
His run on the Flat at Galway may have come too soon after a satisfactory hurdles run at the same venue (fourth in a 19-runner 2m6f event); lack of chasing experience is a concern. |

Hasn't won on the Flat since scoring over C&D at this meeting in 2023; went close at Navan in April (1m5f, gd-yld) off 2lb lower; hasn't backed that up since but did run a nice race over hurdles here on Wednesday. |

Yet to score on the Flat, best effort when runner-up in last season's November Handicap; two wins over hurdles this year and most recently finished a decent sixth in a very valuable Punchestown festival handicap hurdle; champion jockey booked and likely to have a leading chance; handles all ground. |

Likeable front running veteran goes well here; last won over C&D in May 2025 off this mark and was beaten a neck in this race last year, again off this mark; showed he retained ability when second at Fairyhouse in May; trip was too far on latest, could make a bold bid. |

One of three for trainer; off the mark when winning this race last year (good); nearly made it back-to-back C&D victories when beaten a neck on seasonal return in May (good, 11-1); up 2lb but he should come on for that run and O'Keeffe now rides for the first time. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |

Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |

Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
