Flat winner (1m4f, good) for Joseph O'Brien; placed in three of his four completed starts over hurdles; has a claim as the form horse on his second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Mr Percy at Limerick in October; fell early at Punchestown in November and absent since; strong chance. |

Flat winner for Joseph O'Brien, gradually progressive in four runs for his current trainer, most recently when runner-up to a useful sort in a Limerick maiden hurdle last month; may find the market leaders too hot to handle here but should get into the money. |

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. |

Dual-purpose mare whose last two wins have come over hurdles; ran respectably in that sphere when fourth in a 20-runner handicap at Galway a fortnight ago; second in two of her Flat outings this year but beaten 12l on the second occasion and appears held by Thegooseiscooked on running at Navan, |

12st 2lb |
Hurdles winner made a positive seasonal return at Listowel in May when second (2m5f, good to yielding) and that run set him up nicely to win his chasing debut at Wexford in a novice contest (2m4f, good), jumping soundly to repel Costacurta by 2.5l; turnaround at the weights with that rival should bring them closer. |

Fair good-ground hurdler over around 2m4f, easy winner at Bellewstown last summer and comes here on the back of a good run at Listowel; nicely-bred sort goes chasing now under regular rider. |

Justified strong market support when scoring by 12l on debut for this yard at Bellewstown (2m5f, good) in July; has struggled off 16lb higher mark in three runs since; may need some help from the handicapper. |

Course maiden hurdle winner was over-faced several times over fences after winning a Roscommon novice which fell apart last summer; has the beating of Blood Destiny on Listowel running two runs back, and little wrong with his 6l fourth to Lisleigh Lad on handicap debut at Wexford, where he didn't quite see it out over a furlong farther. |

4th 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Highly tried and has cut little ice, including thrice at Grade 3 level, since winning a 2m novice at Roscommon last summer; appeared to run well behind much higher-rated rivals in conditions contest at Listowel last time, but marksman left him alone; capable of being competitive in first handicap. |
10/1 |

5th 3 |
1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has won a maiden hurdle and a novice chase; has looked a bit outclassed in Grade 3s in his last three races and a similar scenario seems likely in this company (well behind Jesse Evans last time). |
