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. |

10st 2lb |
Placed behind Alvesta over C&D last month and kept on for fourth behind Zamond over C&D (also on good) two days later but his career strike-rate is now 0-43; 2lb out of the weights; not the percentage call. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Swapped usual cheekpieces for refitted visor and gave good account when third from 3lb out of the weights over C&D (good) on Saturday; will effectively be 1lb lower if he turns out again but his 0-42 career strike-rate is not easily overlooked. |

Ran well to a point when fourth in C&D selling handicap won by Alvesta in May but was beaten about 19l in the end and has been safely held in two subsequent chases; 3lb wrong today and now 0-40 under rules. |

Won this last year off 4lb lower; some good runs since and ran a solid race when beaten 2.25l into sixth over 1m7f at Leopardstown 15 days ago; 2-4 here so has to enter calculations. |

Capable dual-purpose performer won a nice pot on the Flat at Killarney last August off 4lb lower; stepped forward from below-par seasonal return when a 4.75l fifth at Fairyhouse on latest (3l behind Not Just Any Eagle); eased 2lb and place chance. |

Capable under both codes, both Flat wins coming in 1m6f Killarney handicaps, last summer off 72 before good second at Newmarket (2m2f); Curragh comeback run in late May was poor but more expected of here. |

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. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |
