10st 10lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles with two of those coming over 2m1f at this track; bounced back from some underwhelming Flat runs to win here last time (yielding to soft); on a career high mark now but he has only run ten times over hurdles so there is likely still improvement to come and he clearly likes the course. |

C&D winner in October; well held favourite in a novice hurdle at Limerick in December on most recent hurdle outing and arrives on the back of two low-key Flat runs last month; doesn't look well treated on anything he's done so far. |

Enjoyed a fine spell of form between August and November last year, winning twice hurdle and Flat handicaps at Navan and Dundalk; left with lots to do on recent Listowel comeback run (behind a stablemate) so expected to come on for that with Billy Lee taking over for local yard. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Very useful staying hurdler, winning 2m4f handicap here and 3m contests at Listowel and Leopardstown last term; career-best when last seen finishing third of 24 in 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown festival in April; closely related to yard's good chaser San Salvador, so good chance he'll take to chasing; trip on the short side, but has won around here before so greatly respected. |

Two hurdle wins; beaten a long way in two handicap chases during the summer; addition of blinkers seemed to do the trick when second to today's rival The Striker Dylan at Sligo; would have gone closer but for interference; should be in the mix again. |

Runner-up at Tramore and this venue this time last year, both races over 2m on yielding ground; a long way below her best in outings in August/September, including at Listowel where several stablemates excelled; returned to form when going close against a well-backed favourite at Clonmel; leading chance with a reproduction. |

Maiden has mostly run well this year; beaten just 2l when runner up at Tramore in May; beaten similar distances on last three starts and needs to find a bit more to get her head in front; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn last time. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

0-21 but some reasons for hope in her runs this season; was a 2l second at Tramore in May (2m, good) and okay efforts at Cork (2m2f, good) when fifth of 23 and when third of ten over C&D last time (good); more needed to win but definite place possibilities. |

Things picked up when second at Tramore (2m, good) and even though she ran poorly at Sligo next time, her recent outing at Cork also held promise when fifth of 23 (2m2f, good); may get involved. |

Gained third win over fences here in January off 118 over 2m4f (yielding to soft); no impact upped in trip and class the last twice at Punchestown (3m3f) and Naas (3m1f); big drop in trip here may not be ideal. |

Largely consistent hurdler, latest win came at Limerick (16.5f, good) in handicap off 102, bolted up by 15l; couldn't land a blow off 12lb higher lto; plenty on plate on chase debut; cheekpieces tried. |

Series of placed efforts (including twice here) rewarded by 2m1f Limerick win early last month under enterprising ride, kept wide and making all in beating Dairy Force an eased 15l (good); 12lb hike makes this a lot tougher and unlikely to be given such leeway this time. |

Maiden runs not without merit; looked in need of further when keeping on for sixth on handicap debut in a 2m1f contest at Cork in June; hard to be confident after a poor run at Killarney a month ago, but early days still and might be transformed by a hood. |
