Prolific winner under both codes, last two hurdle wins were in claimers at Roscommon and Sligo last summer; fourth to Ahead Of The Posse when attempting repeat Roscommon win on latest but enjoys a big turn around in the weights with that rival here so has to be considered a major player. |

Comfortable winner of this race 12 months ago (on good ground) and ran okay in a handicap 22 days ago when returning from a lengthy break; likely to go well. |

Readily landed a novice hurdle at Ballinrobe last month but no match for Dollar Value at Sligo; 14lb better off here but no guarantee that will be enough to turn the tables. |

Dual Flat winner showed improved form when got off the mark over hurdles in a Ballinrobe novice over a similar trip last time; a repeat of that effort will see him involved |

Maiden has been a regular participant in claimers over hurdles this year, placing twice; fair run in a Perth handicap last month but modest run at Clonmel last week; needs to find more on his chasing debut. |

Useful on the Flat at best, 1m2f winner on good; respectable efforts in maiden hurdles here in April/May; hard to fancy on subsequent form; very poor run in first-time blinkers at Cartmel on latest, heavy ground may have been an issue. |

Decent Flat performer at his best but became regressive; not bad efforts in two Downpatrick maiden hurdles but was poor at Bellewstown since and a tough task at these weights |

High-class performer at his best over hurdles and fences but has been absent since well beaten in the Martin Pipe Hurdle at Cheltenham last year; hard to know how much ability he retains but a player if running close to his mark |

Big run behind HMS Seahorse at Navan in January; tailed off in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last time but he has a better record at this venue (four wins from six starts) and he's on a good mark. |

Won for the second time over hurdles when taking a Down Royal handicap last year; not bad efforts over hurdles and on the Flat lately but needs a fair bit more. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |
9st 7lb |
Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance. |

Won her second hurdle race when winning this race a year ago off 2lb lower; has only run four times between the Flat and hurdles since; should run well with a repeat of best; ground-versatile. |

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

Lost form for his previous trainer after two good runs in September 2024; plenty to prove on his first run since out of his depth in a Flat maiden last autumn, previously a moderate fourth in a claimer over hurdles. |
