12st 0lb |
Five-time hurdle winner won a Galway beginners' chase last year but hasn't been as good since; however, there was more encouragement at Kilbeggan last time and he drops in class today so isn't dismissed. |

11st 5lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, 1-5 over fences with sole win coming at Galway a year ago; been struggling since; showed up reasonably well before fading markedly at Galway eight days ago so this step back in trip could suit; needs more, though. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 13lb |
Prolific over hurdles (5-11) but is just 1-5 over fences; that win came over C&D (good) in a beginners' at this meeting last year (Donnie Devito third); lost way afterwards but given a break and should be sharper for a spin on the Flat at Bellewstown 29 days ago; not discounted in first-time blinkers. |

11st 10lb |
Progressive sort who seemed to relish the step up in trip at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and that form has been boosted by the runner-up winning since; won in better style than the winning margin suggested that day and there could be more to come from this point winner stepping up in trip; seemingly down the order on jockey bookings. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) in November and he's since been a respectable third in his first two handicaps (1m7f/2m, good to soft/soft); those were warm races and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

10st 9lb |
Won back-to-back hurdle races in August/September on good ground (including C&D maiden hurdle); creditable C&D fourth on seasonal return in May off 1lb higher but below that at Listowel next time (2m, yielding); okay fourth of seven on chasing debut here last time; remains 5lb higher than his last win. |

Won back-to-back hurdle races in August/September on good ground; creditable fourth at this track in May (2m1f, good) but below that at Listowel last time; makes chasing debut, but has a lot to find with a few of these. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 1lb |
Has shown his best form at Clonmel but was pulled up there last month (2m1f, good); on the retreat when falling at the last at Ballinrobe last time (2m2f, good); blinkers go on now but recent form just moderate and this comes quick enough after his fall. |

Has shown his best form at Clonmel, but was pulled up at that venue on his most recent start; previous fourth at Limerick was no more than satisfactory. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |
11st 2lb |
Has shown his best form here; won a C&D maiden hurdle (good to yielding) in 2024; ran respectably here (2m3f, soft) in March when an 8l second of 15; tailed off in two subsequent runs; fourth of nine at Limerick was a bit more encouraging when 2m4f was too far. |
