9st 6lb |
Two 2023 wins on AW; excellent second on good ground at Navan last time; does not need to improve much to win a turf handicap but the prospect of testing ground is a concern. |

Dual AW winner last year (7f-8f) and ran a solid race at Killarney last time; can improve from that but needs more down 2lb. |

Goes well at this venue and was only reeled in close to home over 8.5f here on Tuesday; runs off the same mark now and nicely drawn so can't discount dropped back in trip; obvious chance. |

28th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 0f 123y |
10st 0lb |
Two-time C&D winner on heavy off higher marks; went close again over C&D in October, again on heavy; caught the eye when short of room and not beaten far at Killarney on latest (1m, good); softer conditions would be preferable but he's got plenty of decent form on this sort of ground and his yard targets this meeting; chance. |

Ended a long losing sequence with Gowran win in April, the third success of a 44-race career that has also seen him place on eight occasions; not beaten far in fifth at Cork on latest. |

12th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 100y |

Gained third win with C&D handicap success in April, beating Khormor Syd by 1.25l; ran respectably off 4lb higher last time at Cork; enjoys soft ground and needs more to defy mark. |

Back to form for third career win when landing Gowran handicap over slightly shorter last month (soft) off career-low mark (beating strong-finishing stablemate Khormor Syd); wants it soft, may not confirm that form now. |

11st 12lb |
Had jumping issues and struggled in Hexham chase on last month's stable debut; now 5lb lower than when placed over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good) on final start for Daisy Hitchins but still has something to prove. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two handicap hurdle wins for Daisy Hitchins last year (1m7f/2m3f, good to soft) included one off 8lb higher, and an inconsistent profile since the autumn does at least include a Tapeta Flat success and a serviceable chase debut; some positives ahead of stable debut. |

Out of form in December when last seen over hurdles but looked back in good nick when winning on AW in February and is 5lb lower than when scoring over C&D (good to soft) in March 2025; interesting. |

Seven Flat wins include over C&D, and more recently on the AW in December; trip inadequate on seasonal return here in April and has since been pulled up over hurdles; champion jockey booked but veteran appears vulnerable. |

Seven-time Flat winner won a Leopardstown maiden hurdle in March 2023 (2m, good to yielding) but generally moderate form over hurdles since then; the same can be said of his recent outing on the level at Leopardstown last month. |

Hurdle winner over three years ago; 0-10 chasing, good C&D effort last summer, not so good of late, 3m probably too far on latest; can't rule out back at a more suitable trip. |

Hurdle winner (1-15) is 0-9 chasing but has run some solid races in defeat; ran well enough at Tramore last time on first run for 285 days; considered with improvement to come. |

Progress seems to have stalled since a good spell of form in May/June when second at Ballinrobe and Gowran (good ground both times); has been gelded since last run; others preferred. |

Dropping down the handicap has led to a revival in recent months, winning a 1m handicap at Dundalk and a 7f Galway handicap last month; continued in fair form with Listowel fourth; ground versatile, one for the short list. |
