Won a 2m6f Downpatrick maiden easily in March; keen and hung right when beaten 9.5l in Class 2 novice at Cheltenham on latest; top rated here at 129 and the return to a right-handed track a plus; stamina in pedigree so should stay this far; yard has won the last two renewals; leading claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
2-9 over hurdles and rated 129; shaped well before tiring late on in grade 3 handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.5f, gd-sft) after break on latest; sharper now and makes chase debut with yard in hot form; dam related to chase winners; could go well. |

10st 10lb |
Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding) in September; even better form in defeat later in the autumn, including fifth of 17 in a notably strong 3m Cheltenham handicap on good; returns from a four-month break as a 6yo who could easily have more to offer. |

Readily made all in Kilbeggan maiden (good to yielding) when upped to 3m1f in August and followed up on last month's handicap debut at Roscommon (3m, good to yielding; first-time cheekpieces); upped significantly in grade here but no surprise if he features. |

1-4 over hurdles and rated 113; pulled up on chase debut at Kilbeggan (20.5f, good) last June when 6-1 (suffered an overreach to left fore heel); beaten 20l on return at Limerick last month when 7-2; capable of better but a bit to prove for now. |

Best form on good ground; won a Downpatrick maiden hurdle without much fuss this time last year (2m6f, good); unseen since pulled up at Kilbeggan in June on chase debut after suffering an overreach; may need this first run back. |

All his improvement has come on good ground, last time winning a Downpatrick 2m6f maiden hurdle without much fuss; connections evidently keen to get him over fences but the weather needs monitoring. |

Earned a rating of 98 after three maiden hurdle runs here and at Downpatrick at 2m1f-2m6f; pulled up on handicap debut at Perth last month over 2m4f when running off 107; drops back in trip and connections always respected here but others hold more pressing claims. |

Handicap debutant; best maiden effort came here over 2m4f but was still beaten 32l; half-brother won over 2m7f on good to firm so conditions and trip should suit; potential improver worth a market check. |

Sligo bumper winner on good ground; 0-6 over hurdles but has run well in defeat including on recent return from 212-day absence when staying on third behind a ready winner in 2m4f Leopardstown maiden; sure to be thereabouts but weight concession makes it tough. |
