28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
1-13 and rated 117 over hurdles; below best in that sphere in 2026 and moderate run in Flat maiden at Killarney on latest; best watched on chase debut. |
20/1 |

5th 2 (11) |
14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Recent efforts over hurdles a little underwhelming but earned a mark of 84 after three good runs in Flat maidens last year, including when third in this race; major player if able to run up to that form. |
7/2 |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 6lb |
Ballinrobe maiden hurdle winner last August; shaped with promise at big odds in hot handicap at Punchestown on penultimate and 4lb lower now but needs to bounce back from poor novice hurdle effort at Wexford 18 days ago. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 6lb |
Wide margin winner of an ordinary contset at Wexford in March; mixed bag since and not done many favours by his jumping at Galway latest; small field and possibly slower gallop may help but more needed in any case. |
8/1 |
|
14th 7 |
31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Things haven't gone to plan since a wide margin beginners' chase win at Wexford (3m1f, soft) in March; unseated and pulled up in handicaps at Punchestown and Kilbeggan; also beaten in three runner novice chase at Punchestown (3m1f, gd-yld); a bit to prove for now. |

Useful AW winner in France over 1m/1m1f; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard; won over 1m4f on soft at Gowran on penultimate start; big burden even with 7lb claimed. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y |

Useful AW winner in France over 1m/1m1f; campaigned mainly over hurdles by current yard, winning Limerick novice on heavy over Christmas; fine first effort on the Flat for current yard when winning 1m4f Gowran handicap under today's rider in April (soft) under a positive ride; 5lb higher here but remains of interest. |

11st 12lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan in August (2m3f, gd-yld); respectable run on handicap debut at Galway (16.5f, good), doing best work at the finish; this trip more suitable but may not appreciate the forecast rain. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 140y |

Maiden under both codes has been running well enough in defeat lately but he has run poorly both starts at this course so questions in that respect. |
12/1 |
|
5th 3 |
23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |
11st 10lb |
0-5 over hurdles and his two runs in handicaps when last seen in this sphere in April/May were not encouraging; some positives in his Flat form this year, but his 27l defeat at Tramore last time was not one of them. |
33/1 |
|
9th 5 (5) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |

Maiden has finished in the first three in five of his nine Flat starts; not beaten that far in a Naas handicap latest (1m3f, good) when a shade keen early; eased 1lb and now wears a hood and tongue tie; could go well if settling better. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 12lb |
His run at Ballinrobe last time (2m1f, good) when an 18.5l seventh at 200-1 is some of the best form in the field on RPRs; well beaten in starts prior to that; it's a weak race so perhaps he can be involved. |

Scored on second handicap hurdle start over 2m3f at Clonmel in March (soft) off 99 when dropped in grade; moderate on the Flat at Roscommon 12 days ago; this is a tougher task than his win but can't be dismissed. |

Promising second handicap attempt when chasing home a 6l winner in a 20-runner 2m Cork contest in April, having made much of the running; possible excuse for a poor Wexford run in May, hampered by a loose horse and may have lost confidence. |

Soundly beaten at big odds in handicap hurdles at this venue (11th of 12 finishers) and Sligo (last of 16) before showing dramatic improvement to win at Wexford last Friday; trainer suggested that the removal of a hood might have been a major factor; hard to find any positives in last season's form in Flat maidens; good Flat pedigree, unwise to discount. |

Irish raider who won a 0-50 classified event over the weekend; this looks a bit more competitive under a 4lb penalty but the longer trip will suit, with him taking a while to get on top over 1m2f at Ayr; goes on the shortlist. |
