17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Irish challenger is on a long losing run but she posted a good second of nine in 2m5f Downpatrick handicap hurdle 23 days ago; up 4lb but very much one to consider. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 10lb |
AW/hurdle winner; remote second on her latest Flat run (1m4f) but she went close here in May over 2m3f and she's worth a go over this far. |

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

Dual-purpose mare; without a win since August 2023; made the frame twice over hurdles in May; fair record on AW (1-13, placed six times), not as effective on turf though she has had few opportunities. |

Flat winner in France; touched off in a Tramore maiden hurdle a year ago, did not run up to that on softer ground at Gowran a month later; off 11 months but probably has her conditions today; likely to take the beating. |

Useful stayer on the Flat and looked suited by step up to 3m over hurdles when narrow winner at Bellewstown (3m, good; front pair clear) in July; this is a stronger race but he still enters calculations. |

Winless after 26 hurdle starts and although he often runs respectably at the right level, he has no realistic chance against rivals who mostly would be giving him plenty of weight in a handicap. |

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 |

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. |

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. |

Made the frame in three maidens (2m-2m4f) last summer but he's failed to complete in last two starts including when back in a handicap at Plumpton (pulled up) in September; hurdling record now stands at 0-12 and has something to prove on his return; change of headgear. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Inconsistent maiden but only his second run in this headgear combination when going close at Exeter (2m7f, good); with competitive form over this shorter trip, he's one of the better options. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
