27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |

Two of her three wins over hurdles have come over C&D including her last score in August; well below her best on AW last three runs but respected back over flights here; best form is on good ground, though. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 12lb |
A long-standing 32-race maiden who has proved frustrating but consistent, finishing runner-up 13 times; 12 chase runs, beaten 5l into fifth at Wexford eight days ago in handicap off 112; one of his best efforts came over this C&D last year; capable of winning a contest of this nature. |

7th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles, including runner-up in 2m2f Cork handicap chase, most recently beaten under 2l when fifth of 8 in steadily-run 2m Tramore novice handicap chase last month; ground to suit and definite contender. |

19th Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

Long-standing maiden; has run well in defeat over fences and hurdles; heavy ground a valid excuse on latest and is 4lb lower than when a 9l runner up in a much stronger race than this at Cork (17.5f, good) in October; has run well here before and he's a player. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to chase home a clear winner over C&D last month before solid enough effort at Sligo from a wide draw; more needed but considered in a weak race. |

Flat/hurdle winner; came from well off the pace to be runner-up in a 2m Flat handicap at Tramore a month ago (good; fine on softer); all this year's runs have been quite positive. |

Won over hurdles last September; losing run on the Flat since a heavy ground Bellewstown maiden in 2023 when trained by Ger Lyons; one length behind Bynx when third at Gowran in May, and finished behind Make Good (fourth) when seventh of ten at Listowel. |

One of two runners for yard; has run well in defeat in several maiden hurdles; likely to do better in this grade so watch the market on handicap debut. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 160y |

Has run to a decent level in three starts over hurdles and rated 104; beaten 17.5l when sixth of 21 at Punchestown (2m3f, gd-yld); place chance but probably needs a bit more to win. |

11st 10lb |
AW winner; fifth behind subsequent chase Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); flattered by that detail; pulled up in a Bellewstown maiden hurdle last week; has plenty of weight, hard to fancy. |

18th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 30y |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner is 1-28 under rules (the win coming on AW in 2024) and was disappointing at Dundalk when last seen; 0-5 over hurdles, with his best effort a 14.5l fifth behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Koktail Divin at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding); probably flattered by that placing, but it's interesting that Jack Kennedy takes the ride (2-5 riding for this trainer). |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 6lb |
Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain. |

11st 4lb |
1-21 over hurdles, his win coming at Musselburgh in December (1m7f, soft); has continued to run well since, notably when second over 2m2f here and on the Flat last time; one to consider. |

Best of three maiden hurdle runs was a 13.5l seventh of 18 at Gowran last year (2m, good); returned from a 314-day break to make her handicap/stable debut here last month when keeping on late for an 18.5l fourth (2m2f, yielding); entitled to improve for that run and the extra distance can bring further improvement; interesting, place chance. |
