5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |
11st 9lb |
Has won thrice over hurdles and once over fences; however, has been below form since his latest score at Downpatrick last year so has to get back to best. |

3-20 over hurdles; shaped like the run was needed after six months off at Sligo on latest when 33-1; remains 2lb above last win and might need another run or two to hit top form. |

11st 12lb |
Won over 2m4f at Thurles in 2024 for Philip Rothwell, his only success from 28 starts; placed nine times; in fair form before changing stables; market may provide clues to what is expected on his first start for Gordon Elliott. |

Won off 3lb lower at Thurles (2m4f, good) last November; mostly below best in 2025 but a bit of encouragement at Ballinrobe on latest (2m6f, soft); place chance if building on that. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time Flat winner is 0-20 over hurdles but some decent efforts this year, including C&D third to Splendid Choice on penultimate (good) off this mark; never featured after slow start at Limerick on latest when claimer-ridden; senior rider now takes over and one to consider. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-19 over hurdles; went close off 109 over C&D (gd-yld) last May; didn't jump well when not beaten far off this mark at Wexford (2m1f, good) on latest; cheekpieces go back on; claims if jumping better. |

Ran well when second at Kilbeggan in July but was still beaten 13l; outclassed on the Flat latest but this much more suitable and was a close second in a division of this race in 2023 off 5lb higher; place shout. |

Won a Punchestown handicap hurdle in May (3m, good) off 84 and placed twice since then; made a positive chase debut at Wexford (2m4f, yielding) in April when third off this mark, but pulled up at Tramore next time after making a bad mistake; could go well. |

Got off the mark when winning a Punchestown handicap but didn't jump as well when third at Wexford since off this mark; both those were over 3m but this trip should be fine too; a player if holding his form. |

11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; not so effective in a couple of recent attempts chasing but in between went down by only a neck (clear of remainder) to a well-handicapped sort in 3m Cork handicap hurdle; drying ground to suit and one for the shortlist. |

Both hurdle wins have been at 3m on decent ground, including at Clonmel last October; belatedly tried over fences when midfield at Wexford last month; beaten a neck over hurdles at Cork (24.5f) 12 days ago; don't rule out. |

Dropped away tamely in a 2m7f contest at Killarney last time; fair chance if replicating the form of previous Tipperary second over the same trip; cheekpieces on now as well as the usual tongue-tie. |
