9st 5lb |
Last season ended well with wins at Fairyhouse (1m6f), York (2m handicap) and a handicap hurdle at Tipperary; only eighth of 11 on his comeback run at Killarney but a mile was way too short for him; better expected, though others might be better treated. |

10st 2lb |
Had an excellent campaign last season, winning his last three runs in a row (two on Flat one over hurdles); those Flat wins, including a heritage handicap at York, came at 1m6f and 2m; this will surely be too sharp a test on his return. |

9st 9lb |
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from five starts; scored easily at Newmarket latest; better than ever and may improve further in his current form; respected assuming he's as effective back at 2m and returned to AW. |

In the groove this season and hit career-best form when winning a five-runner race from off the pace at Catterick (1m6f) nine days ago; up 3lb but highly respected. |

Three good runs this season, notably when winning off 3lb lower over 1m4f at Doncaster early last month (good to firm); stays 1m6f well; not disgraced on good to soft last time and one with a chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
10st 4lb |
Any horse in these colours worth a second look here, and one presumes this has been the plan; useful Flat and hurdles performer and won 2m6f hurdle on this card in 2024; held in novice company last year after winning on chase debut at Down Royal; third over inadequate 2m on handicap debut at Wexford; better for that run and ground and trip to suit, albeit he's up in grade a good bit. |

Ground should be coming right for him now; probably needs further than this, and his lack of a recent run is a possible drawback. |

Consistent on AW at three, winning over 1m4f; had some good hurdling form, without winning, in 2024; just one run over flights last year; ran well in a charity race at the Curragh on Derby weekend; has to enter calculations in such a weak contest. |

Flat winner on AW placed on three of six attempts hurdling, including 2m1f maiden here last summer; absent since never featuring in Leopardstown handicap at Christmas but has run well fresh and has the form to feature. |

Has won only once from 50 starts on the Flat, that success gained at Bellewstown six seasons ago; out of form at Dundalk last winter and unplaced at Navan in May; not favoured by the race conditions |
