Has hit form with a chase win over 2m4f at Kilbeggan nine days ago and a belting run over hurdles (2m6f) here on Wednesday; every chance. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Dual hurdle winner who got off the mark as a chaser five days ago in a 2m4f handicap at Kilbeggan; that was a narrow verdict and he's 5lb higher this afternoon, but he's clearly in good nick. |

Brother to 2m1f chase winner Doyannie, half-brother to winners James's Gate (bumper) and Black Lightning (2m4f/2m5f hurdle); dam 2m hurdle/2m4f chase winner; useful form when making most in Lingstown maiden point-to-point in December and later in month sold for 150,000GBP at Cheltenham Sales; top yard and obvious appeal on rules debut. |

11st 9lb |
Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge. |

11st 4lb |
Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second over 2m at this venue, when those behind included King Kali (fourth) who was returning after a lengthy absence; three seconds from his last five starts, but lesser displays in between; blinkered first time. |

Dual-purpose; sole success over hurdles came off 3lb lower at Bellewstown (2m1f, gd-yld) in April 2024 for Gavin Cromwell; yet to really hit form for this stable, though did run ok over 2m4f here in August; drops in trip and place chance if repeats that off 3lb lower. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Surprise debut maiden hurdle winner in 2024 but has been mostly disappointing since and needs a revival chasing with cheekpieces added. |
