Won a Wexford maiden hurdle in July 2024; ran well in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle in December off 2lb lower, his last start in this sphere; should be at peak fitness after two recent spins on the Flat; needs the forecast rain to miss. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 70y |
9st 9lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-35 on Flat and second on 10 occasions; his only two stakes race wins from 29 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight on return; well beaten in the Vintage Crop on latest but will be more suited by testing conditions. |

Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

Just one place from four point-to-point runs; definite ability in four maiden hurdle runs; best effort yet when beat 7L into fourth over 2m at Wexford last time out; trainer 4-33 in maiden hurdles; big chance. |

9st 9lb |
Beaten a nose here (2m, soft) in September 2024 off 1lb lower and gave further encouragement that year, but that promise has not been fulfilled and his jumps career (latest start two months ago) has gone badly the wrong way; first-time blinkers replace his usual hood. |

Won a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in March 2025 for Gavin Cromwell; not a bad run on debut for this yard in the Tribes at Galway after 230 days off when 4l behind Red Glory and eased 1lb; sharper now and has placed over this trip before; could go well. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Has done most of his winning on the Flat in Britain, and has found a new lease of life over hurdles at his local track last month, following up a good second in a 2m1f handicap hurdle in early July by getting up on the line to land a similar handicap over the same trip three weeks later; up 6lb for those two efforts is far from excessive and he can be thereabouts once more with the step up in trip unlikely to be an issue. |

Five-time Flat winner is 0-15 over hurdles but he took second over C&D (good, 20-1) earlier this month; chance if he builds on that but his overall form suggests he might not. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Very useful staying hurdler, winning 2m4f handicap here and 3m contests at Listowel and Leopardstown last term; career-best when last seen finishing third of 24 in 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown festival in April; closely related to yard's good chaser San Salvador, so good chance he'll take to chasing; trip on the short side, but has won around here before so greatly respected. |
