27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |

Eight wins (four on Flat, four over hurdles); ended last season with a Curragh second behind Sirius; confidence dented by recent form over jumps. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Grand sort has won four hurdles, including two small-field contests here last year; returned with a spin over fences in May; 2m3f is the farthest he's gone, so stamina for 3m is the concern. |

Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

Won over hurdles at Chepstow (2m, good) in April and runner-up at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) 11 days later on final run for Harry Derham; takes on proven chasers on first outing over fences but he's only six and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market on stable debut; tongue-tie goes on. |

Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling. |

Won his first race since joining the Quinns at Pontefract (1m, good to soft; 25-1) last month; went back up 7lb and he ran well off new mark when third at Nottingham (8.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago; good claims. |

Ex-Irish; market support proved misguided on his third and fourth British starts, which he followed with 25-1 win at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, coming from last in a nine-runner race; back up 7lb, still well treated on his old Irish form. |

Back-to-back handicap chase winner last summer, the second of those over 2m7f here (yielding to soft) off 92; sent off favourite for the same race last month but weakened quickly and was pulled up; cheekpieces worn that day are now left off, but questions linger. |

Doubled his tally over fences when winning this race last year off 8lb lower (yielding to soft) under O'Keeffe; has run just once since then, on seasonal return at Punchestown when an okay eighth of 18 in a 2m handicap hurdle (good to yielding); cheekpieces go on now and he has won on good; interesting. |

2nd Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Need not dictate to win but did enjoy having things mostly his own way in victory at Bangor latest (3m, good); 6lb rise to a career-high mark asks a stiff question, and rain might stir the pot further as he did not appreciate ground slower than good when last trying it a year ago. |

A fair 2m6f hurdles scorer for Eoin Doyle in Ireland in 2024; made a winning start for his current yard on the Flat at Thirsk in May and posted a good third back in this sphere at Worcester (2m4f) since; very much one to consider. |
