Is 4lb below her last win but first two runs since joining this yard have not been her best; beaten 86l over C&D on latest in July; hard to fancy on recent showings. |

|
14th 7 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 4lb |
Dual hurdles winner for James Nash, the latest in April last year at Down Royal (2m4f, good) off 2lb higher; signed off with a moderate effort in a Clonmel claiming hurdle for his former stable in May; stable debut for new yard on Flat at Bellewstown was nothing to shout about either. |

Three wins over fences and rated 129 in that code; third in Midlands National here in July; 5-1 when fell in hurdle here two weeks ago, which was his first run over flights since early 2024. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time chase winner, including at Killarney in May (3m2f, good to yielding) is 0-6 over hurdles so has a 24lb lower mark in this discipline; hasn't contested a hurdle race since 2024 and never for this yard so he looks like a huge danger to all off this mark but this trip looks tight for him. |
9/2 |

Wide-margin winner of a Listowel handicap chase last year and confirmed his progression when winning the Killarney National in May; even with his 9lb penalty, he was well below par at Roscommon since; others preferred. |

9th 4 |

Two-time Flat winner is 2-25 over hurdles; last win came for Nigel Slevin in a Down Royal handicap chase last April; has been out of form since joining Cian Collins; well-handicapped on old form but he's hard to fancy on recent showings. |

25th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Winning pointer and narrowly beaten in a Wexford maiden hurdle; hooded and shaped like needing the run in a 2m3f Naas handicap hurdle two weeks ago; should be spot on for this. |
7/1 |
|
7th 8 |
12th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 24y |
11st 3lb |
Fairly consistent in maiden hurdles in the spring and summer of last year, including when touched off in a 2m4f mares contest at Wexford in May; not seen since a below par effort at Kilbeggan in June; hooded here and probably best watched but worth a market check. |
12/1 |
|
4th 14 |
4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 59y |
11st 5lb |
Point winner at Dromahane in December 2021; has shown a fair standard for form since joining this stable last winter; recent second in 2m4f maiden at Wexford provides plenty of encouragement, since the winner was a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot who had been running in Grade 1 races. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; 0-16 over hurdles but made promising stable debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month, keeping on for third; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip; shortlisted. |
7/2 |

3rd 7 |
26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
No win from 14 races, all over hurdles in Ireland for Ross O'Sullivan; 800-day absence before beaten over 30l in his three starts this spring; tongue tied first time on this debut for new connections and, although best efforts at up to 2m1f, could be interesting if strong in the market. |
6/1 |

Winless from 14 but went close on several occasions in 2023; beaten 34l in both starts since returning from 800-day absence; good ground and addition of blinkers need to transform him. |
