Five wins between hurdles and fences up to 3m; decent runs in defeat over hurdles and fences last twice so one to consider. |

Mare won four times in 2024, including a pair of hurdles; winless since, but creditable efforts over fences last twice including fourth of 16 in Mayo National; trip and ground okay and has a chance at the weights. |

11st 4lb |
Three-time chase winner is 2-24 over timber, including a win here on heavy over 2m4f; rated 22lb higher over fences but has been out of sorts since winning a handicap chase at Kilbeggan in June; first time cheekpieces and tongue tie combination needs to spark a revival. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Very useful chaser in Ireland in his prime but his two point wins this year were gained in small-field races and he was only third of four when odds-on for run-of-the-mill hunter chase at Perth (3m, good) this month; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie fitted; needs to up his game. |

Very useful chaser in Ireland in his prime; pulled up in soft-ground hunter chase on stable debut in January but 2-3 in points on a sound surface since, with both wins gained in small-field affairs; sports refitted cheekpieces for this rules return; might be the answer. |

10st 5lb |
Recorded first win since 2024 when taking a Fairyhouse handicap over 2m5f last time despite jumping right late on; raised 5lb for that so will have to raise his game again, but has won off 4lb higher in the past. |

Third over hurdles at Galway last October; refused to line up at Punchestown in November, same at Cork in December; risky in the circumstances, though worth noting he beat Pakens Rock by 6l in this race two seasons ago. |

2nd Apr 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Four wins over jumps for previous yard; 0-7 (Flat/hurdles) for current stable but remains in form and has a fighting chance off current mark provided he takes well to the surface on belated AW debut. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Irish gelding who's looked high enough in the weights since returned to hurdles for his current yard; well held off a 3lb higher mark at Sedgefield last time and needs to improve on that, albeit he's been found a weak-looking race. |

Ex-Irish; yet to win for new yard, but fair second of five at Lingfield when dropped back to 2m last time (heavy); should improve on back at 2m4f. |

Narrow winner of a 2m1f handicap chase on good-to-yielding at Ballinrobe 13 months ago; let down by his jumping when running over a longer trip at Galway; fading when making a bad mistake two out at the Listowel festival and absent since. |

In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

1st 3 |
20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |
