26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |
11st 9lb |
Dual purpose; course Flat winner hasn't won a handicap hurdle since 2022 and made an inauspicious start for this yard when failing to beat a rival on the Flat at Limerick; will strip fitter now but others preferred. |

9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran has won eight races including four on turf on the Flat; not a bad run on final start for Ian O'Connor in a Cork handicap hurdle in November; off since and entitled to need this on first run for Charles Coakley. |

A tailed off finish in a Tramore handicap last time was not the greatest stable debut; best watched for the moment. |

9st 6lb |
10-32 on the AW and as tough as old boots, going down by less than a length in his last three outings including when beaten a short head over C&D in March; likely to be bang there once again. |
13/2 |

2nd 6 (7) |
11th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |

C&D record is currently three wins and two seconds from five starts; most of his career wins have come in the winter but he continues in good form and has strong claims. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 (8) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 5 |

All of his ten wins have been on AW and he had a near-miss over 1m3f at Kempton last Wednesday; on same mark here and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |

Sole win from 37 starts (15 over hurdles) came over C&D in December 2024 from 4lb lower; ran well in a Listowel handicap hurdle on stable debut but lesser efforts last two times, including at this venue last time when tenth (1m4f). |

Placed over hurdles on his two most recent outings; two undistinguished Flat runs last season; better judged on the form he showed near the end of the 2024 campaign, although seems best suited by soft ground. |

Flat winner; placed in three maiden hurdles early in his career; modest form overall in handicaps; Punchestown run in January was encouraging, not beaten far in fifth in a 16-runner event; fair third over 2m at Gowran last time, worth considering. |

Dual hurdle winner has also won twice over fences including a Listed handicap at Killarney in 2024; some good runs in defeat after and is now just 2lb higher than that mark; mostly below form on the Flat and over hurdles this year but not ignored. |

Both wins came at this trip, most recently at Down Royal in 2024 off 64 under today's rider; absent since moderate second in 2m Tramore handicap hurdle a year ago so may need this. |
