10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 1lb |
Found two winnable opportunities in small-field novice chases at Down Royal and Punchestown; well beaten in a competitive novice handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in between; hard to assess in the context of this race, but looks the first string of the McManus quartet and is respected. |

11st 10lb |
131-rated hurdler was third to Wodhoodh in last year's Martin Pipe; won rated chase off 124 at Down Royal, pulled up in valuable novice handicap at the festival here last month; pulled up over hurdles on sole previous try over 3m, but that was on bad ground. |

Hurdles winner was soundly beaten in opening three chase runs; well backed when winning a Down Royal rated novice chase last time (2m5f, good to yielding); likely capable of more. |

Pulled-up either side of a fine second at Navan; front-runner is at her best when getting a clear lead but is inconsistent; a player if at that best. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |

Returned from break with two underwhelming chase runs this season and unseated rider when back over hurdles in plating company 12 days ago; tricky to weigh up at present but represents respected Irish stable. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
10st 12lb |
One of two for trainer; won a novice handicap hurdle at Down Royal in April last year and posted some good placed efforts subsequently; form tailed off in August and his two chase runs this year leave a lot to be desired; best treated at these weights but must return to somewhere near his best after just a six day break since his last run. |

Fair hurdler's sole win was over 2m6f and stays 3m; second in a couple of points, but jumping lacked conviction when long way behind Chichester Park at Kilbeggan last month on first outing since August. |

Dual hurdles winner has shown poor form in five runs over fences, including on handicap chase debut at Down Royal last time when beaten by 29l; others bring more pressing claims. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 0y |

Two wins over hurdles, rated 132; nowhere near her best over fences; beaten a long way in three starts in beginners' races and out of her depth in a Grade 2 event at Limerick last time; 12lb below her hurdles rating, but does not appear well handicapped. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 6f 121y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Had smart form when with Gordon Elliott before losing his way and selling for £3,000; fell midrace on stable debut but, with the cheekpieces back on, he outran odds of 100-1 to finish a fairly close third at Haydock (3m4f, good); if as good again here then he could have some say. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |

Mostly campaigned in competitive staying chases when with Gordon Elliott and did not accomplish much this season; £3,000 buy in February but fell mid-race here 11 days ago on debut for new yard; cheekpieces (tried once) return; major questions to answer. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |
10st 11lb |
Twice placed in the Grand National; most recent win was in a Grade 2 chase at Navan two seasons ago; took time to find his form last season before being produced in fighting shape to finish a gallant second to Intense Raffles in this; could peak again now after two prep runs but no horse of his age has won this since Overshadow in 1953. |

1-18 over hurdles (win was two seasons ago over 2m); best run last season when second in 3m Gowran handicap in testing conditions, also ran well in 3m2f beginners chase; poor display at Wexford in May when Duke Silver was second. |

Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Kilbeggan specialist with a couple of handicap chase wins in 2023 (including this race) and landed 2m2f handicap hurdle in April; fair third off higher chase mark at Ballinrobe since; 3lb wrong here but respected given his record here. |
13/2 |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 136y |
10st 10lb |
Gained his tenth success (and first for this stable) when taking a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kilbeggan a month ago; most recent chase run saw him finish second to Flash De Touzaine at Limerick on stable debut; good chance he can reverse that form and go close in the process. |
