18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 2lb |
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. |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |

11st 2lb |
A winner of a Cork handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good); okay fourth when switched to chasing on his final start for Gavin Cromwell; now tries the Flat for the first time on stable debut but his jump form doesn't give much encouragement. |

Respectable form in maiden hurdles; fell when favourite on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; beaten 40l next time at Clonmel; raced keenly when third at Bellewstown; winning favourite at Cork last week; trip and ground should suit for this switch to chasing. |

11st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |
