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. |

12th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 40y |
9st 1lb |
1-15 on Flat with the win coming at Roscommon in 2024 (1m4f, soft) off 64; decent efforts over hurdles this year and shaped with promise back on Flat at Gowran last time when fifth (1m6f, good to yielding); will appreciate any rain. |

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. |

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. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Useful Flat performer, winning three times and placing on a further nine occasions from 17 turf starts; took third at Gowran in April (1m4f, soft) and went one place better when beaten a neck at Musselburgh next time (2m, good); has often been frustrating, as shown by hurdles record 1-20; second eight times. |

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. |

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. |

Capable dual-purpose performer won a nice pot on the Flat at Killarney last August off 4lb lower; stepped forward from below-par seasonal return when a 4.75l fifth at Fairyhouse on latest (3l behind Not Just Any Eagle); eased 2lb and place chance. |

Capable under both codes, both Flat wins coming in 1m6f Killarney handicaps, last summer off 72 before good second at Newmarket (2m2f); Curragh comeback run in late May was poor but more expected of here. |

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. |

Better known as a smart four-time hurdles winner; good recent form when fourth in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 132, roughly the same ability as Samui; also a capable Flat performer but his 81 rating makes him 23lb inferior to Samui in this sphere. |
