9st 3lb |
114-race veteran, winner of 11 races; best known as a four-time course jumps winner; also C&D winner; most recent success came over fences here last October; well below best on his last three visits, years may be catching up, but premature to write off. |

Veteran; five-time chase winner including three over C&D; last won here last August off 99 and 3lb lower now; recent efforts have been underwhelming, however, and blinkers are reached for. |

Old boy has won 12 races in all under both codes, mostly from the front; C&D winner in 2024 and was placed over 1m4f last year, but he's pushing on now and tailed off over fences last time. |

Course bumper winner is 0-10 over timber; went close on the Flat behind stablemate Pralognan at Newcastle last time out; ground (sft-hvy) was a valid excuse when pulling up at Fairyhouse on her last run over timber; conditions more suitable now; could go well. |

In good form over 1m4f at Dundalk last November, notching a win and a second; fit from hurdling; 1-14 on turf, sole win gained over 1m4f at Leopardstown last May; fine effort over this trip when second at the Listowel festival. |

One of three for trainer; off the mark when winning this race last year (good); nearly made it back-to-back C&D victories when beaten a neck on seasonal return in May (good, 11-1); up 2lb but he should come on for that run and O'Keeffe now rides for the first time. |

A winner of ten races over hurdles and on the Flat; scored in the Cork Derby (1m4f, soft) on most recent start in this sphere; just 4lb higher now, handles better ground and has run well over hurdles here before; okay run over fences latest and can't discount back on the level. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Cracking dual-purpose 9yo has won four hurdles and gained most valuable of six Flat wins at Cork in May; lacks a bit of scope for this game, as shown when a long way off Chichester Park at Kilbeggan; better at the latter venue since, but was still low and left at a few fences. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |

Verastile dual-purpose sort who's scored four times over hurdles and six on the Flat, including Cork Derby last month on soft; latest hurdle win at Punchestown (23.5f, good) a year ago off 115; ran just okay when well held fifth over fences 15 days ago here; needs a fair step forward on that. |
