11st 6lb |
In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

Second over C&D in October but well held since; may have needed recent Limerick reappearance but modest enough strike-rate and Prince Of Air looks the yard's main hope; tongue-tie left off. |

Both hurdle wins at this track, including a decisive win in July (20.5f, good); well held in two runs since; 0-10 chasing; others look more likely. |

Both wins at Sligo; went up 7lb for a decisive win there on penultimate (20.5f, good); held off revised mark back at Sligo on latest (10l behind Steps In The Sand); however, has placed over C&D before off 9lb higher so can't discount. |

10st 10lb |
Hurdles win came over 2m4f at Punchestown in 2024 (heavy); lightly raced in recent years, best effort coming on latest when staying-on third in 2m5f Roscommon handicap chase in June (yielding to soft); encouraging jockey booking. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
10st 6lb |
Veteran whose 11 career wins under all codes include this race in 2024; recent 2m Tramore handicap chase third his best run for a while, but more needed here in a deeper race. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Veteran who is 12-115 under all codes; five-time course winner, four times over jumps; dual C&D winner, latest 12 months ago off 7lb higher; much below best last two vists here but dangerous to completely write off in a winnable race at a venue he loves. |
9/1 |

6th 8 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
114-race veteran, winner of 11 races; best known as a four-time course jumps winner; also C&D winner; most recent success came over fences here last October; well below best on his last three visits, years may be catching up, but premature to write off. |

Likes a sharp 2m and good ground; first past the post against useful rival at Killarney in October and better for recent comeback; 2lb wrong and ground may not be dry enough. |
