12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |

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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

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. |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
10st 2lb |
Talented dual-purpose performer is only 1-8 on the Flat but brought her mark to a career-high at Ballinrobe last month when just denied close home in fillies' handicap over 1m5f; quick ground a slight concern, big player if handling it. |
5/2 |

2nd 2 (7) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
9st 10lb |
Talented dual-purpose performer is 1-7 on the Flat; solid effort over timber at Listowel last month and ran well off this mark when last seen on the level at Clonmel last September; easy ground fine and should go well. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
10st 13lb |
3-14 over hurdles and rated 128; won a Clonmel beginners' chase on her penultimate start (15.5f, yld-sft); modest third in mares' listed hurdle at Killarney latest (2m1f, gd-yld); solid place chance on the figures but more needed to win. |

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. |
9/2 |

Got off the mark in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in May and a solid run in a Cartmel chase since; 5lb higher than for his win and is up in grade too, but can run well. |

2nd 6 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider who didn't fare too well in four attempts over fences previously, but got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) last month at the 28th attempt under rules; not an obvious candidate to follow up, over fences. |

0-9 over hurdles but ran plenty of fine races in defeat last year; off since 4l second of 15 in a Bellewstown handicap off 116 last August; leading chance if he's fit for his return. |

20th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 165y |
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. |

Decent Flat performer at his best but became regressive; not bad efforts in two Downpatrick maiden hurdles but was poor at Bellewstown since and a tough task at these weights |

30th Aug 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y |
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. |

Talented over jumps; rated 137 over hurdles and a five-time winner in that sphere; has struggled in chases on last few starts and has been off since March but returns with local yard among the winners and he bolted up in a bumper here back in 2023; check the market. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Prevailed in a big field at Galway (2m6f, good) on chase debut but has failed to back up that form since and was particularly disappointing in October when bidding for a second win at the Cheltenham Showcase meeting; wears first-time headgear; less solid than others. |
50/1 |

Reserve; won four times (once on good here) as a novice hurdler last season before pulling up at 14-1 in the 3m Grade 1 novice event here; won chase debut at the Galway festival (2m6f) last August but chase career has gone badly the wrong way since, latest start 11 days ago; returns to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; next to no exposure in handicaps but low on the list. |
