Improved from his first two runs of the season when finishing well for second over extended 1m2f at Sligo; often placed, but a 2-31 strike-rate is off-putting. |

Won a valuable mares' handicap hurdle in February and some good hurdle runs since in defeat; ran a cracker back in this sphere in a valuable Naas handicap last time but has a bit to find today. |

Flat recruit makes debut over hurdles for powerful yard; 1-11 on the level with a career best RPR of 83; well-beaten in first time tongue tie (retained) after 290 day absence at Galway (25-1); at least will strip fitter for that run and can never discount from this stable. |

All four wins, three on Flat and one over hurdles, came on soft; runner-up on last two starts in Cork Derby and when splitting a Willie Mullins-trained pair at Galway; not certain to uphold Galway form with Night Moon. |

1m6f/1m4f scorer last term and he wasn't disgraced despite racing freely in a change of headgear when fifth of 11 over C&D nine days ago; reverts to cheekpieces, replacing a visor; considered. |

Regressive maiden for former yards was pulled-up on hurdling debut last time; new yard is going well but will have to work the oracle with this mare; tongue-tie on. |

Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted. |

Three wins on turf and twice over hurdles; comes here on the back of two average runs at Clonmel and Listowel; 4lb lower on the AW and a positive rider booking. |

Five-time winner, below best this season; fourth of nine at Ballinrobe in May; disappointed in his nest two races, over hurdles at Clonmel in May and back on the Flat at Tramore last month; dropped away tamely in fourth at Clonmel last week; needs to raise his game. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 1f 168y |

Fourth of nine behind Lough Leane at Ballinrobe in May; has disappointed in his last two races, over hurdles at this venue in May and back on the Flat at Tramore last month. |
10/1 |
Verdict
This looks competitive, despite the small field. Last year’s winner Royal Eagle should give a good account and hat-trick seeker Vischio is another one for the shortlist despite a 7lb rise for her latest success. However, one of these should fall the way of EXPOUND who has been going close of late and now gets first-time cheekpieces which could help him get his head in front; he’s been leniently left on the same mark for his latest narrow defeat.
