Has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; was a solid second at Down Royal but made a bad mistake there last time and ran below form; has to rebound after just four days. |

Mare likes good ground and has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; chase win was off 107 last summer and stuck to her guns when second over C&D in lower-grade contest last time. |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |

10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |
12/1 |

4th 10 |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |
11/2 |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

Handicap debutante has shown ability in all three of her maiden hurdles, including one at this track (2m, yielding); outpaced and stayed on over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last time, shaping as though this sort of trip would suit; opening mark looks fair and has to be considered. |

Made a successful handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good) and couldn't have given his true running back there two months ago; could yet prove himself worthy of this mark. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |

Promise in all three maiden hurdles starts before C&D success eight weeks ago on handicap debut; ability to handle this track is an asset; capable of a good showing. |

Handicap debutant has shown promise in all three of his maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; ran respectably here in a 16.5f bumper a year ago; opening mark looks fair and he is worth a market check on return from 263 days off. |

Not much promise over hurdles and well-beaten off 91 and 89 in last two starts in that sphere, including here over 2m6f; can only be watched on chasing debut. |

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

Has shaped better in maidens since the blinkers were fitted but was beaten 90l at Downpatrick this month; stable has had no winner since May 2022 and this gelding has very little chance on recent form. |

No wins from 11 and fairly moderate hurdles form; took second in a Bellewstown handicap off 99 in his final start last season (2m5f, good); well beaten at Navan on seasonal return (2m3f, yielding); decent third in a Sligo beginners' chase in October but 20l behind at Clonmel in a handicap chase when last seen; back over hurdles now. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 27y |

Maiden has run well enough at times in seven hurdle starts but last time at Navan was below form, though back from a break; was runner-up on chasing debut at Roscommon but then pulled-up at Killarney, both last year; needs best. |

Back on track with a 3l second at Bellewstown in April (20.5f, good) when well backed; off since and likely to have different ground to contend with here down slightly in trip; interesting to see if his backers return. |
