10st 2lb |
His sole start over 3m saw him pulled up, on heavy ground admittedly, but the furthest he's been otherwise was 2m5f and that too was a failure; 6yo with time on his side and his best form last time out, winning a 2m4f beginners chase at Clonmel, but big improvement is required and his suitability for this test requires plenty of guesswork. |

20th May 2026 Good 1m 5f 170y |
10st 0lb |
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. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 185y |

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. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |

Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises. |

Showed promise for Joseph O'Brien; shaped respectably after a long layoff on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in December; on the retreat when falling two at the same venue on next start; had plenty to spare when winning a novice handicap at Limerick; could hold his own here. |

Showed promise for Joseph O'Brien and shaped nicely enough after a huge layoff on debut for this yard at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) in December; on the retreat when falling two out back there latest (2m4f, yielding); could do better dropped in trip if that hasn't left a mark. |

One of two runners for yard; has shown ability over timber and was second in a Sligo maiden hurdle in July; was still in with a chance when falling in a handicap hurdle at Wexford on latest; is related to a couple of chase winners and is in good hands; leading claims if her jumping holds up. |

Improved steadily in four runs over hurdles; came on for reappearance at Downpatrick when beaten 2.5l by Torquay Road at Sligo (2m1f) 33 days ago; seems a lenient mark on handicap debut and she's a leading contender. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 3lb |
Capable under both codes, with dual wins in each; won a Killarney handicap in August and was a distant runner-up at Newmarket in September (8l behind Reverend Hubert); finished seventh in this race last year, and may need this comeback run once again. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |

Another who is capable under both codes and has been on a roll on the Flat this year, gamely repelling allcomers from the front over 1m6f at Killarney last time (good); however, off this mark in today's company, this would be his toughest test yet on the Flat. |

Won over C&D last summer off 59 and pick of three runs this year when good third at the Curragh, having raced keenly and hanging right under 7lb claimer; not the best of breaks on Wolverhampton AW latest but fair effort; 2lb wrong here but rider's claim negates that. |

Improving gelding has won two of his last three starts; scored off 89 at Kilbeggan over 24.5f and added another handicap hurdle off 95 at Wexford last week over 3m, both on good to yielding; up another 6lb and could be more to come but drop back in trip a concern. |

Consistent and progressive 7yo who made all to score by 6l at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) on latest outing; has fitness to prove after 137-day break but could plausibly be seen to even better effect on the forecast faster ground here. |

Placed in a couple of points; 1-16 over hurdles and rated 119 in that sphere; however, was pulled up in successive races at Galway and Killarney when last seen last August and while there's a good chance he'll make a chaser on breeding, he's tended to need his comeback runs in the past. |
