15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Top-class chaser weakend out of contention in the Galway Hurdle; ran in a Curragh 1m4f maiden (without usual cheekpieces) as a prep for that, and a perfectly respectable effort saw him run to a mark of somewhere in the mid-70s, using the runner-up as a guide. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Grade 1-winning chaser who has counted Gaelic Warrior and Marine Nationale among his victims in top-level races; winner of two of his six races over hurdles, one in France at four, the other a three-runner Sligo contest two years ago; warmed up for this with a run on the Flat at the Curragh 11 days ago. |

19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
10st 5lb |
Three-time Grade 1-winning chaser makes his Flat debut here at the age of eight; his dam is an unraced half-sister to a German 1m Listed winner; it's hard to know what to expect from him, but he's an intriguing runner and hails from a savvy yard in great form. |

11st 9lb |
Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well. |

29th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 126y |

Better chaser; generally well below best last season; encouraging run at Galway on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan; remote fifth at Tramore; 1-1 at the track; well treated relative to chase mark. |

Had some good form last spring and same again this time around; hurdles winner in March, third to Supreme Jet at Wexford and good third of 20 to exciting stablemate in 2m handicap at Punchestown festival; doesn't win often, though. |

Dual chase winner who got off the mark over hurdles here last month in decisive fashion, going clear on the run-in over 2m (soft); second in this race last year (Krabat third) off 7lb higher so obvious claims (1lb wrong). |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle and three-time chase winner when based in Ireland; makes stable debut from a workable mark and will find this easier than Punchestown festival hurdle he contested in April but has fitness to prove and would appeal much more on soft/heavy ground. |

Won a mares' beginners' at Tipperary in the summer; a little inconsistent since and hasn't been at the level required to challenge in this contest, particularly from 2lb out of the weights; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

Grade 3-winning hurdler here hasn't progressed over fences as hoped, despite landing long odds in Tipperary mares maiden; well held behind Fighting Fit in handicaps and tame hurdles effort latest hardly inspires confidence although remains well handicapped on her best form. |

Six-time winner, 4-38 over fences; chase mark has tumbled but good third at Ballinrobe (2m4f, good) in veterans race in May and decent run over hurdles at Sligo over inadequate trip; brought down at first at Kilbeggan last time; yard won this last two years. |

C&D winner in October; latest win came at Naas in January over 2m; holding his form reasonably well since and didn't run badly lto when beaten 11.5l into sixth by Galway Plate winner Pinkerton; likes soft ground. |

Point and bumper winner; 2-10 over hurdles; poor strike rate as a chaser, 1-22; has been out of form over jumps; however, he produced a fine effort when third in a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in July on his belated Flat debut; could feature in improving a little from that. |

Both chase wins have been in quite valuable 2m1f handicaps (yielding), most recently at Fairyhouse in November 2024; below best this season, however, and needs to be revitalised by this switch to the banks; ground should suit. |

One of two for trainer; Leopardstown St Stephen's Day handicap chase winner in 2023 (2m1f, soft); returned to form when winning a Fairyhouse handicap in November and beaten a short head at Leopardstown in race she won year prior; out of form in three runs since and still 6lb above last winning mark; likely best watched for now. |
