Won over 3m at Limerick in November 2024; ran only once last year; shaped with promise when fourth at Punchestown after a long break; failed to build on that at Cork last month; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie. |

Won over 3m at Limerick in November 2024; ran only once last year; shaped with promise when fourth at Punchestown after a long break; third-placed Catchabird gave the form a timely boost at Wexford on Tuesday; good chance. |

Point winner is 0-10 hurdling; two starts over fences to her name, remote third in 3m Downpatrick handicap in May and a solid third of 13 at Wexford (3m1f) on latest when no match for the winner; more needed. |

Sole win over hurdles came over C&D in 2023; some decent runs in defeat last year but has to bounce back from a poor Listowel effort. |

Sole win came over this sort of trip at Killarney in August 2023; running well in defeat from this sort of mark at the end of 2024 and may have needed this month's return at Tipperary; some rain would be in his favour. |

Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly at Wexford (2m3f) last month and easily followed up off 5lb higher at this course; returns to hurdling off 19lb lower mark compared to chase rating; must have a big chance. |

Had struggled for form before winning his second start over fences quite convincingly over 2m3f at Wexford three weeks ago; likes good ground or a slight ease and only 5lb higher; on the shortlist. |

Unplaced all eight hurdling starts in Ireland and absent since beaten out of sight on heavy ground in February; had wind surgery during the summer but is probably best watched on this stable debut. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won over C&D in May off 87 (good to yielding); bounced back from a poor Killarney run back here over 2m last time when denied by a neck (2m, good); up 3lb more now but the claimer negates that and he likes it around here. |

Some promise over hurdles despite failing to win a race; 12-1 for last week's chase debut at Kilbeggan and came down mid-race; remains to be seen how he reacts to that as confidence could be a factor. |

11st 5lb |
Made it 4-6 for current when completing a chase hat-trick at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) two weeks ago; 8lb higher on this return to hurdling, but that was another easy win last time, and this strong traveller has been a big improver this year; key player. |

11st 7lb |
Made it 3-5 since joining this stable with an easy win at Sedgefield (2m4f) four days ago, when unpenalised for a similarly comfortable C&D success seven days earlier when beating My Cullen; thriving at present and commands major respect under a penalty. |

Ex-Irish 8yo who is 2-4 for new stable this season, the latter win gained in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) a week ago; did that fairly comfortably by 7l and avoids a penalty here; obvious claims. |
