10st 3lb |
Dual hurdles winner has scored twice on the Flat, including over C&D; latest win was in the valuable amateur riders' handicap at the Galway festival last year (2m1f, yielding) off 5lb lower; disappointed on seasonal return in that race last time; must take a big step forward from that first run, but he has tended to do so in past seasons. |

Won this readily last year; struggled off 10lb higher in the Irish Cesarewitch; ended the season with a fair sixth in a big 2m handicap at Naas; strong contender despite veteran status; Dara McGill's 7lb claim an asset, as was Alan O'Sullivan's last year. |

Dual-purpose; stayed on well over 14.5f on latest Flat start at Killarney off 79; is 2lb wrong at the weights here but talented claimer takes off 5lb; won a maiden hurdle on his sole previous start at this track; wide draw to contend with but he's unexposed in this sphere and he could run a big race. |

Top rated here at 105 and this three-time winner ran a very respectable race in a Listed contest at Limerick (12.5f, soft) on return from break on latest; won over this trip at Killarney in 2024 and ground versatile (won Queen Alexandra at Ascot in 2024 on gd-fm); the one to beat if running to his rating. |

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. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |

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. |

The last of his two wins came in a handicap in 2020; outclassed in a beginners' chase last time and showed that he retains some ability when midfield over hurdles the time before; cheekpieces now tried. |

Gained the most recent of two hurdle wins in a handicap at Kilbeggan in 2020; ran only once the following year and missed all of 2022; retains some ability judged on a couple of Flat starts this year, but set a tough task here on chasing debut. |

Not seen over timber since March 2021 and no wins since 2020; missed all of 2022 and while he's shown he retains some ability on the level in a couple of recent Flat starts, he's probably best watched back over timber for now. |

Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Galway last time (2m1f, good to yielding), under a good ride by today's jockey; that was a sixth hurdles win but none of those has ever come off a mark this high; not a surefire candidate to follow up. |
