Maiden hurdle winner in July 2024; best effort after return from an absence was last time at Downpatrick; can be involved with a repeat raised 1lb. |

Maiden hurdle winner in July 2024; very modest efforts on Flat and back over hurdles on latest after long layoff; a bit to prove for now. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in 2024 (2m1f, good) and returned from a 632-day absence when seventh on the Flat back at that venue last month; that is something to build on. |

9st 8lb |
Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance. |

Three hurdle wins and six seconds, including a pleasing effort behind Murcia at Listowel in May; has run twice on the Flat since then, went close in a handicap at Ballinrobe, out of the money behind Tounsivator at Fairyhouse. |

26th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 3f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Maiden is 0-3 over fences but has run well twice in defeat; runner up at Killarney in July (2m7f, yld-sft) and fourth at Roscommon latest (3m1f, yielding); this trip may be on the sharp side. |
16/1 |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 3m 1f 10y |

Took a big step in the right direction when a 4l second of 11 at Killarney (2m7f, yld-sft) last time; should stay this far and go well again off 2lb higher. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 and some fine runs in defeat since including back here the last twice; is steadily climbing the handicap but is still one for the shortlist. |
5/1 |

3rd 15 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 11lb |
Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Went up 10lb for winning a 2m3f handicap hurdle here in May; has to bounce back from an ordinary effort at Killarney last month over this shorter trip but the booking of Jack Kennedy an obvious plus. |

12st 0lb |
Useful on the Flat at best, 1m2f winner on good; respectable efforts in maiden hurdles here in April/May; hard to fancy on subsequent form; very poor run in first-time blinkers at Cartmel on latest, heavy ground may have been an issue. |

10st 12lb |
Showed nothing in his first five starts under rules but ran by far his best race when sixth of 13 at Wexford (3m, good to yielding) behind Bigira on handicap debut last month; that was his first try at this trip in this sphere and he might have been closer but for a jumping error three from home. |

Five-time hurdle winner won a Galway beginners' chase last year but hasn't been as good since; however, there was more encouragement at Kilbeggan last time and he drops in class today so isn't dismissed. |
4/1 |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |

Five-time hurdle winner, 1-5 over fences with sole win coming at Galway a year ago; been struggling since; showed up reasonably well before fading markedly at Galway eight days ago so this step back in trip could suit; needs more, though. |
15/2 |
|

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 13lb |
Prolific over hurdles (5-11) but is just 1-5 over fences; that win came over C&D (good) in a beginners' at this meeting last year (Donnie Devito third); lost way afterwards but given a break and should be sharper for a spin on the Flat at Bellewstown 29 days ago; not discounted in first-time blinkers. |
