28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Smart stayer on the Flat and nice Flat return at Killarney after 13 months off; pick of hurdles form would give him a chance, but hasn't run in this code since being beaten 8l off mark of 131 at last year's Punchestown festival; stays well on the level and might yet improve for going 3m (second try at it). |

Smart dual-purpose sort; well suited by the race conditions; twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last summer, third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm); not seen since a fine second in a 1m6f Group 3 at York 13 months ago; good opportunity for Hannah Smullen if he returns in prime shape. |

Twice ran well in defeat at Royal Ascot last month, finishing third in the Copper Horse Handicap (1m6f, good to firm) and second in the Queen Alexandra (2m5f, good to firm; albeit no match for the winner); could give a good account but needs others to underperform if he's to come out on top. |

Flat winner in Britain; opened hurdles account at the sixth attempt, landing a C&D maiden in November; down the field in a valuable handicap at Fairyhouse last month; more relevant form in this context is his fourth placing in the Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel; also managed a fine third on the Flat in the Naas November Handicap; makes plenty of appeal in this grade. |

9st 7lb |
His last win was in a maiden hurdle in Ireland two years ago but he's well handicapped on old Flat form and made an encouraging return for new yard when seventh of 20 in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW); conditions should be fine on this drop back in trip and he's one to keep an eye on. |

Well held in 2022 in his sole AW race; has been running over hurdles and fences in Ireland, with no win since a maiden hurdle nearly two years ago; sold out of Gordon Elliott's for 9,000gns this February; there's no tongue-tie today for the first time in three years and last jumps season's blinkers/cheekpieces are also absent; peak Flat form and new trainer's record with recruits are something to clutch at, though. |

Dual-purpose two-time winning hurdler; won C&D maiden hurdle last May and added a Listed handicap hurdle at the Galway festival in August; well beaten off revised mark twice since; decent run on the Flat at Killarney 13 days ago, but more needed back over timber in new headgear combination. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; fairly useful hurdler who's won from the front in three of his last four Flat starts, including at Navan (1m5f, good to yielding) and Killarney (2m1f, soft; Almuhit fourth) in his two runs this season; the latter was in fine style and a major step forward with the step up in trip, so this improving 5yo is one to take seriously despite his rise in the weights and a much stronger race. |
