11st 10lb |
Got third hurdles win at Wexford in March off 104 (2m, good to yielding); some reasonable runs since then on the Flat and over hurdles; didn't jump fluently at Down Royal but still managed a 5l eighth (2m1f, good to firm); has won on soft and heavy, so ground of no concern. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 87y |
11st 9lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles with the most recent of those coming at Wexford in March (2m, good to yielding) off 104; not too many noteworthy efforts since then, both on Flat and over hurdles, but not bad at the same time; others preferred |

Three-time hurdles winner (including here); recent Flat efforts leave him with plenty to find, first-time cheekpieces may help. |

10st 12lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles with his last win coming over C&D in April off 98 (16.5f, yielding); has been running consistently since then without winning; 6.75l sixth of 10 at Wexford last time (2m1f, good to yielding); each-way chance but 2lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |
10st 1lb |
Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently; behind several of today's rivals in those defeats; consistent sort should be thereabouts but may find one or two too good. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |

Wide margin winner at Tramore in April and several good runs in defeat subsequently from this sort of mark; handles slower ground and he's one for the shortlist. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
10st 8lb |
Last won over hurdles here (2m, good) in 2022; rated 23lb higher over fences but hard to fancy on the evidence of his last three runs over hurdles at Clonmel. |
28/1 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Hurdles win came at Tramore back in 2022, more recently won over fences at Wexford last summer; soft ground not ideal of late so improvement on the cards back on a sound surface. |

12th 6 |
26th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 2f 188y |

Infrequent winner but consistent in the main and deserved his Wexford chase victory a year ago; has failed to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in three outings since then; tailed off here four weeks ago in the race won by Courtbrack Boy. |

Maiden was beaten 19l here in June after a long absence; has run well at this track in the past and is worth a market check from this yard. |

Second reserve; had a chance when falling three out at Bellewstown in August 2021 and Gowran next time wasn't too bad a run; could improve for the Byrnes team but has to overcome a long absence. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |
10st 2lb |
Has lost way since a purple patch in 2024 which included a win here over 20.5f (gd-yld) off 15lb higher; not a bad run on return from 133 days off latest and on a dangerous mark if she's back on song. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

26th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Registered a first Flat win when scoring over C&D in January and it was a creditable effort when chasing home St Faz at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) six days ago; work to do if he's to turn the tables but still one of the more likely ones. |
6/1 |

2nd 6 (5) |
20th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Recorded his first Flat success when scoring at Southwell in January (1m6f); he has run to a similar level in defeat since and he should remain competitive. |

4-22 over hurdles but just 1-15 on the Flat, the win coming at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) in January; only 1lb higher, though, and should make his presence felt. |
