11st 7lb |
Improved to win a handicap at Thurles ((extended 2m5f, yielding; all wins there) in December; that has worked out but his form is still well off Grade 1 standard and he missed the Dublin Racing Festival due to coughing. |

12st 0lb |
Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle (2m6f, heavy) on New Year's Day and handled good ground well when second in Thurles handicap over same trip; not sure if he stayed 3m at Cork last time. |

Point-to-point winner; off the mark at third attempt in Tramore maiden hurdle at Tramore (21.5f, heavy) on New Year's Day but showed likeness for good ground when runner-up to the well-treated Rushmount at Thurles two weeks ago; big chance from same mark. |

Has established a good record at this venue; gained a second course win last month, also twice runner-up here; this is a bit shorter than her optimum trip. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 100y |
11st 1lb |
C&D winner (good) off 6lb higher last May; won off this mark at Ballinrobe in August; below best over fences and hurdles recently, however, and needs to revive. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 6f 160y |

Four-time winner over hurdles is yet to score from 12 runs over fences; recent form is concerning, tailed off in a Down Royal handicap chase earlier this month and sixth of eight over hurdles at Kilbeggan latest. |

Won his fourth hurdle race when scoring at Catterick over an extended 3m in January and a solid run over 2m6f at Thurles since; this trip suits better and can be involved. |

In decent form over fences in July for the late Edward O'Grady; more recent form provides limited encouragement. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner (including here) is 1-28 over hurdles; last two runs in this sphere poor but shaped well on the level at Killarney four weeks ago; just 1lb above sole hurdles win so place chance but hard to fancy for win purposes given his modest strike-rate. |

3rd 7 (1) |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 182y |

Strong stayer with the form to feature off this mark but he has been very quiet in two runs over hurdles this year. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Is just 1-27 over hurdles and was well beaten here last time after a break; can improve on that but plenty others preferred. |
