28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Talented 8yo was well held when 8-1 (same price as Rocky's Diamond) in Galway Plate; easy winner of 3m conditions hurdle at Cork previously and won 2m handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend (now rated 95 on the level); only third of five when favourite for this last year, but has improved in the interim. |

11st 1lb |
2-4 over fences, though not seen in this discipline since well held in a Grade 3 at this fixture two years ago; he returns in excellent form, in recent weeks winning on the Flat (2m) and over hurdles at Cork (3m); could have a big run in him. |

Smart dual-purpose type won a nice Flat prize over 2m a fortnight ago; came off worse in a couple of 3m clashes with Happy Jacky last year, but not by much, including when beaten a head in the corresponding race; relishes good ground. |

11st 12lb |
Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; has run four times since joining Arthur Moore; has made the frame in two starts over fences; concerning that his two runs over hurdles have not been of similar standard. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 185y |
11st 11lb |
Two wins in 2023 for Gordon Elliott on soft and heavy ground; no joy since but step in the right direction in a handicap chase here on latest (19.5f, good); needs to back that up now back over hurdles. |

2nd 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard but there were positives to take from fourth of 12 at Tramore in April (2m6f, yielding); didn't back that up back over hurdles at Kilbeggan; a bit hard to trust now. |

Maiden hurdle winner here; both chase wins came at Kilbeggan when with Henry de Bromhead; below form last four starts and needs a return to his best. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Two chase wins for Henry de Bromhead, both over this C&D; is 4lb higher than when winning here in May 2025; third in this off 7lb higher last year; soundly beaten on debut for this yard last month but may have needed that; blinkers replace cheekpieces and rider takes off handy 3lb. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Four-time winner for Henry de Bromhead, including when bolting up by 12l over C&D last May; finished last season with two below-par runs; off 230 days and dropped 4lb on stable debut. |

10st 11lb |
Winning point-to-pointer is 0-8 over hurdles but took a step in the right direction at Clonmel last month when third (Ashdale Flyer 10l away) to a stablemate, having made much of the running; unproven over this far but good chance she'll stay. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won an Exeter hurdle race off a mark of 74 on stable debut in December but has failed to match that level since, including in two starts over fences; last month's reappearance may have been needed when a well-held last of six over hurdles but he has a bit to prove back over fences, despite his lower chase mark. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Pulled up in his final run during winter but that was in the mud and he won by 7l over this trip at Exeter (good to soft) in December; looks interesting on that form and he needs a close look back from five months off. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |

Second reserve; sole success came between the flags; 0-13 over fences and no signs of a breakthrough success in recent runs; pulled up when last seen in July; well out of the handicap here and hard to fancy. |

2-5 in Irish points but his slow-ground win in March came in a match race and he was well beaten when last in action; also struggled on last year's hurdling debut; tongue-tie refitted today; others look safer. |
