Sole win over hurdles came over 2m3f at Limerick last year; some decent runs in defeat this year but has been below form the last twice; chance if rebounding. |

Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) last year; consistent sort finished third on first two runs for this yard, at Clonmel and Wexford, but ran no sort of race at Kilbeggan last time; has to be considered on balance of recent form. |

Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) off 5lb higher last year; consistent sort has finished third in both runs for new yard; this is a higher grade compared to those outings but he's shortlisted. |

Won a Bellewstown maiden hurdle in April for Noel Meade and some decent runs in defeat since; can be forgiven a poor Flat run on testing ground at Gowran five days ago but still needs more; 5lb out of the handicap. |

Bellewstown maiden hurdle winner in April and runner-up in a Kilbeggan handicap was his best run since; well beaten in Flat return in a claimer around here last month (1m, good); cheekpieces on now but others preferred. |

It was a low-grade 1m4f handicap she won at Limerick 16 days ago and that was hard work; had made a good start to hurdling career until let down by her jumping when pulled up in a Downpatrick handicap; not bred for chasing but she's a 4yo filly receiving all the allowances. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden who needs to produce more than he's managed on his first two chase starts but he didn't run badly here last month on his final outing for Brian Francis Cawley and he starts out for his new stable with Sean Bowen booked; interesting to see how he goes in the betting. |
5/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

Irish-trained 5yo who is one to watch in the betting; however, this 14-race maiden struggled to get competitive over hurdles last year and didn't jump well when well beaten on last month's chase debut at Down Royal. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again. |

Attracted support at Down Royal in early May, let down by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown nine days later; failed to build on that at this venue next time, this longer trip may suit him better. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |
