Sole hurdle win came over 2m1f here in 2024; added a chase win at Limerick in May; below form over hurdles and fences since so has to do more. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Won a Wexford handicap hurdle for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87, and first success since came in a 2m4f Limerick handicap chase in May (good to yielding) off 6lb lower; disappointed as favourite when attempting to take advantage of his lower hurdles mark at Cork last time (2m1f, good); not ruled out now back chasing. |

Wexford handicap hurdle winner (2m1f, soft) for Brendan Walsh in 2024 off 87, and first success since came on latest in 2m4f Limerick handicap chase in May on better ground; one to consider now off 9lb lower hurdles mark. |

Veteran mare has tended to reserve her best form for Wexford; poor recent chase run there dents any confidence; new headgear combination at the age of 12. |

Veteran mare with two wins to her name over hurdles; hasn't cut much ice in three tries over fences; beaten 23l on return from a break over hurdles at Roscommon last time (2m, good); others make more appeal. |

Ran well at Kilbeggan in June but well below that level the last twice; beaten 29l on latest at Down Royal; dropped 2lb but remains 6lb above her sole success; may need more respite from the handicapper. |

Dual-purpose performer who is not easy to predict but he returned to the Flat with an eyecatching third over C&D (hood reapplied) on recent stable debut; could be dangerous if he can back that up and he's in the mix. |

0-13 under rules; ran well when fourth of 14 over hurdles in first-time blinkers (now removed) here (2m5f, good) last month (winner has gone in again since), but he comes up against some in-form rivals on chase debut; others preferred. |
