Dual-purpose mare won over hurdles at this meeting in 2022 and took her fifth race in that sphere at Listowel in May; beaten 6l on chasing debut at Tipperary since and will have to improve plenty from that. |

Dual-purpose chasing debutante is 5-21 over timber and rated 130; modest run on the Flat at Ballinrobe last week; not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding but she will be well-schooled and can't be discounted. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |

Any horse in these colours worth a second look here, and one presumes this has been the plan; useful Flat and hurdles performer and won 2m6f hurdle on this card in 2024; held in novice company last year after winning on chase debut at Down Royal; third over inadequate 2m on handicap debut at Wexford; better for that run and ground and trip to suit, albeit he's up in grade a good bit. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful Flat racer who showed some fair hurdling form for Joseph O'Brien in Ireland last year and did not need to be at best to justify short odds in modest Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good to soft) for new stable in last month; faces tougher task under penalty but still has a big role to play. |

Useful Flat racer who was creditable second of 14 at Cork (2m4f, good) on hurdling debut for Joseph O'Brien in November; became rather disappointing for that stable afterwards and was sold for 10,000gns in March but makes debut for Tim Vaughan in a modest race. |

Fourth in a claiming hurdle before having a complete off-day over fences five weeks ago, when he lost lengths at the start and jumped poorly before ultimately unseating; hard to win with at the best of times and now makes debut for a new Irish yard. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |

Not the easiest to win with but often runs well in defeat; beaten 7.75l off 3lb higher on his last start in this sphere at Wexford on penultimate; 9l fourth in claiming hurdle back there on latest; best chase effort came when a 6l third in a Grade 3 novice here (18.5f, gd-yld) in October (Birdie Or Bust second); big chance on that form and has won here over hurdles. |
