10st 9lb |
Two of his three wins have come at Tramore, including his sole chase score; solid in defeat at Tramore and Punchestown the last twice; ran well enough over C&D once, so could go well. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 50y |
10st 5lb |
Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises. |

Won over hurdles at Punchestown in January (2m, sft-hvy); his C&D novice chase win came on testing ground too and it was yielding when he won here over hurdles; goes well fresh so lack of a recent run isn't a concern but could do with some rain. |

10st 0lb |
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. |

Runner-up at Tramore and Limerick this time last year, both races over 2m on yielding ground; needs to step up considerably on this season's form; ran poorly at Listowel, where several of her stablemates excelled. |

One of her two hurdle wins came over C&D last year; outclassed and tailed-off on comeback from an absence six days ago; this is more realistic and can run well if on form. |

16-race maiden on Flat, poor hurdler; showed early promise for Michael O'Callaghan as a juvenile in 2021; has been struggling over hurdles lately; seems safe to rule out. |

Off the mark in a Gowran handicap hurdle in October last year (2m, good); has been disappointing in four runs since, evenly spread between Flat and hurdles; reported to have burst a blood vessel at Cork in August when pulled up; remains 4lb above last winning mark. |

Three-time Flat winner although she last won nearly four years ago; maiden over hurdles but a reproduction of her Ballinrobe second off 87 last August would give her a squeak; well beaten when last seen at Tramore. |
