In good form over hurdles and transferred that to the Flat when second in a 2m handicap at Listowel last week; plenty of weight but has a leading chance. |

10st 13lb |
Hurdle/chase winner; had lost her way but off a reduced mark she rediscovered some form when beaten about 6l into third at Downpatrick three weeks ago (2m2f, good); won't be far away if as good again. |

11st 12lb |
Fair hurdler won Listowel maiden in September and not beaten far off 113 in Tipperary handicap in April; both of those runs were on yielding to soft so this ground might be quicker than ideal for chase debut. |

22nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Won this last year off 121 (yielding-to-soft) and and enjoying a fine season back hurdling, winning two handicaps at Punchestown on good-to-yielding and yielding; out of depth at Leopardstown early this month but top-weight has to be respected back chasing in repeat bid. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |

Enjoying a fine season, winning two handicap hurdles at Punchestown, over 2m4f (good to yielding) in October and 2m3f (yielding) in December; beaten 24l off 127 at Fairyhouse last time (2m4f, heavy); would receive 27lb from El Fabiolo in a handicap rather than 5lb here. |

Enjoying a fine season and has won twice at Punchestown this term, over 2m4f (gd-yld) in October and 2m3f (yielding) on latest in December (6lb rise for that); will need a career best to go in again and he might prefer a sounder surface. |

10st 11lb |
Fair form when runner-up in two Irish maiden hurdles for Henry de Bromhead in September but did not look straightforward when pulled up on both starts for new stable this year; may yet get her career back on track but looks very risky at present; tongue-tie added today. |

11st 2lb |
Left Gordon Elliott under a cloud and for £3,500; has run in three soft-ground handicaps for new yard, finishing closer on latest but still beaten 25l so he looks best watched for now despite the cheekpieces (tried once in Ireland, finished second of four) being reinstated. |
