9st 1lb |
Will like the ground; won over 1m1f here last year and has dropped back to just 1lb higher mark; ground too soft first two starts this year; latest 6l Curragh defeat can be marked up somewhat (upset in stalls and met some interference) and generally runs this track well. |

Dual winner over 1m1f but has placed form at this trip too; way below her best in two starts this year but this faster ground will suit and can give an improved effort. |

Won over C&D (good) around this time last year from 8lb lower; missed the break on her return at Gowran 10 days ago when 16l behind Spanish Temptress; wouldn't want it too soft. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and took a huge prize for Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding) last September, in the latter bursting clear 1f out and scoring with considerably more authority than the margin suggests; underwhelming over hurdles before last month's Chester Cup, in which he also had the widest draw, but he started favourite nevertheless and made some headway from the back to finish seventh of 15; he didn't have the rub of the green that day and is shortlisted even though connections also now resort to headgear. |
6/1 |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
One of three for Joseph O'Brien; won 4yo handicap hurdle at 2025 Cheltenham Festival and also took a huge prize for last September's Irish Cesarewitch on Flat at the Curragh (2m1f, yielding); underwhelming in his three handicap hurdles in November-April, which is a concern, as is today's widest stall, but his Curragh win (bursting clear 1f out) was delivered with considerably more authority than the winning margin suggests; respected. |

Last season's Fred Winter winner at Cheltenham never threatened on return there last month in 2m5f Coral Cup; previously hampered at least twice when well held behind Zillow over today's C&D; Walsh prefers Davy Crockett. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fairly useful Flat racer with 2-6 strike-rate over hurdles; gave good account when third of eight at Kempton (2m, good) last month and is probably still on a workable mark but has something to prove on the much slower ground here. |
3/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Useful Flat racer who was 2-3 in novice/maiden hurdles for Paul Nicholls in the spring; tackles much stronger opposition on this handicap hurdle debut and his tendency to race too freely is a nagging concern but, nevertheless, he's still very unexposed over jumps. |
5/2 |
|

14th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won Flat handicaps at about 1m1f (AW) and 1m4f (good; RPR 83) and he's found a new calling over hurdles judged by the way he won at Chepstow (dropped to 2m, good) recently; he shouldn't have a problem with this sharp 2m and is the one to beat. |

Inconsistent this year; 1-17 record is a negative; on the plus side, he has tended to show his best form at this venue, runner-up here on three occasions. |

Won over 7f here last summer for Jack Davison off 73 and good run six days later over today's C&D; two good runs this term in Leopardstown handicaps but too keen on latest in premier handicap at same venue; slow-starter at times. |

7th Oct 2024 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 50y |
9st 2lb |
A winner off 59 at Gowran Park in June; went up 8lb for that and has struggled in two handicaps since; 2l behind Tanazadia in a rated race at Tramore on penultimate and 11lb better off with her here; poor latest but return to softer ground will suit and she could go well at a price. |

Beaten around 6l both handicap starts this year; didn't get home over a little shorter at Limerick but better ground may help and he's down in grade. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Sole win in 26 Flat starts was over 1m1f in lower-grade contest here last August; that is possibly his optimum trip, although only beaten half-a-length over 10.5f on AW in December; after five months off, not a bad run at Roscommon lately. |

6th 11 (8) |
30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 63y |

Just one win from 29 attempts; consistent when making the frame on three occasions at Dundalk last November/December; failed to reproduce that form in two races at the same venue in January. |

8th 2 (8) |
23rd Jan 2026 Standard 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Just one win from 28 attempts, but has been knocking on the door in recent starts here; fourth over 10.5f in November before taking third spot next two times; squeezed out when one-paced upped in trip over C&D last time; this trip may not be his optimum. |
