11st 6lb |
A maiden hurdle winner here over 2m in 2024; no win since but some fine runs in defeat lately; fell at Down Royal six days ago but can be a big player if none the worse for that. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 87y |
11st 6lb |
No win since June 2024 but has finished runner up in four of nine starts for this yard; kept on for a 3.75l third of six at Tramore 15 days ago and eased 1lb for that; definite place claims. |

Twice placed in maiden hurdles in 2024; weak form last year; good enough to win a recent maiden point at Castletown-Geoghegan, but the form does not amount to much. |

10st 9lb |
Improved for fitting of a hood, winning 2m6f Downpatrick handicap hurdle last season and produced late to land 2m4f beginners' chase at same venue in October; made the frame in both handicap attempts before a break; has a bit to find with Release The Beast on Leopardstown running; open to improvement. |

Has improved for fitting of a hood and won two of his last three, a handicap hurdle (2m6f, good) and a beginners' chase on latest (19.5f, yielding), both at Downpatrick; going the right way but not sure this shorter trip will suit on handicap chase debut. |

Chase winner at Tramore last year; won over hurdles at Kilbeggan in June and shrugged off a lesser run there next time to be a solid fourth chasing last time; a player up 1lb. |

Chase win came in 2m6f Tramore handicap last year, more recently has been hurdling, notably 3m1f handicap win here; held off 5lb higher in similar contest a fortnight ago but interesting back chasing here off 3lb lower mark. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 140y |
11st 10lb |
Mild promise in maiden hurdles; first sign of life in handicaps when beaten 10.5l at Cork last time out (18.5f, good to yielding); drops back in trip in her usual hood and needs further improvement to hit the frame here; declared to run here on Saturday. |

Bits of promise in maidens but still went off 40-1 for handicap debut at Wexford (2m4f) and was tailed off; the hood tried there is swiftly dispensed with. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 100y |

Showed a bit more when sixth in a maiden hurdle here in April and probably unsuited by 2m latest; fairly treated on handicap debut and one to consider back up in trip; wears first-time hood. |

10st 3lb |
Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; no such leeway at Galway since, weakening between final two flights; third over C&D last month, so trip of no concern. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |

Off the mark at 28th attempt when landing 2m3f Kilbeggan handicap last month, allowed to slip the field and win unchallenged; 9lb rise okay on the face of it, but not sure if he'll back that up and 3lb out of handicap here. |

0-27 and his run at Sligo last time was the first time he has ever placed when taking a 3l third (2m5f, good); 1lb rise seems a bit harsh; needs more. |

29th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Point winner who scored over fences at Newcastle (about 3m, good to soft) in March and made all over C&D (good) last month; had Blazing Court, Path Of Stars and Judicial Review close behind that day but a 2lb nudge is no reason to dismiss him. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |

One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features. |

Has improved for the switch to handicaps; promise at Cork off 85 when sixth of 16 and posted another sound effort off the same mark when third of 16 at Bellewstown (2m1f, good) last time out; drops in trip and cheekpieces an interesting addition; leading claims. |
